It was on the Fleet Canuck. The oldest plane there. Built in 1946! Just her and the Pilot. Randy something. She got to fly the plane and everything! Grand-dad would be soooo pleased! i lent her my old film camera to get some shots from the air. Can't wait to see what she got!
How exhilarating it was for her. We were up and out of the house by 8AM to get her there and in for her flight time of 8:30AM. Mountain escorted us there in his new Jetta. I wish I'd gotten more pics. But it was hard to get what I got.
How did this come about you ask?
The Abby flight club put an ad in the local paper back in February! to say that in honor of celebration of their anniversary they were going to offer Free flights to 100 kids in Abby! All i had to do was send in an email! So I did! YaY for reading the paper!
Charley was on of maybe 4 kids that got their own One on One flight. The rest of the kids were in 4 to 6 seater planes. The clubs pilots volunteered their time to make this special event happen. She got a certificate signed to say it really did happen and I bought her a pair of flight wings that were there to go on her camp blanket for commemoration.
What an Awesome Experience!
