Dad wants to be a pilot.

Dad was telling me he always wanted to be a pilot. He was working for the co-op making about $1 a day and he had a friend with a plane. His name was Bob Jones. He said he would take him up flying for $20. So dad saved a months worth of wages to go up in this plane. He got to the airstrip, which apparently was up by the Temple, and climbed in this small plane with his friend. He said before they had cleared the runway Bob had the plane upside down. Dad said that he was clambering for something to hold on to. He said he was rarely right side up for the rest of the flight. He said when they finally landed his desire to fly was cured. :-)

  1. Wow Steve! I've never heard that before! I love this idea. I will try to post on it when I can get myself to set down and think!
