I was very fortunate, ...I so enjoyed reading this. I was very fortunate, growing up in Columbus, Georgia. My mother was the office nurse for a physician, a general practitioner, who had a Beechcraft Bonanaza. From the time I was 8-years-old, I was flying with Dr. Gilliam, all over north GA and Tennessee. We'd take off and buzz his family farm in the mountain and land on the top of a sawed off hillside. Then, someone from the farm would pick us up in an old truck and we'd head over for a feast of Southern cooking before heading back to Columbus again. <br /><br />When I moved to the Boston area after finishing nursing school, I dated a young officer ( who I ended up marrying ) who was a member of the base aero club. He was a private pilot and we'd rent a plane from the club and fly up to Maine for lobster or land in Hyannis Port and taxi to the back of Mildred's Chowder House for lunch. When our son was born, we took a Cessna from the Boston area to New Orlean to have our priest friend baptize him. I never took lessons myself but I was an intimate part of flying in small planes and I love it.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-51689677179777404602011-04-04T13:49:16.542-04:002011-04-04T13:49:16.542-04:00Do it!
