I recently moved my Piet back out of the garage after the 10 hour check and moved the fuselage of my new project (a Stinson 10A) in. Last night my three little girls and I had a blast "garage flying" the Stinson to all kinds of destinations. On our way to Disneyland my youngest joined us mid-trip (must have been somewhere over Nevada). She had been hesitant to join us when we left out of a little trepidation from previous experiences at the "noisy" airport. Finally with all four of us aboard we landed at Disneyland. The kids soon tired of Disneyland, and true to pilot dreamers wanted to go someplace again. Getting there is more than half the fun dontchaknow. Our next destination was dictated by my 4 year old as Africa. The tRUSTY old Stinson had never traveled so fast. 30 seconds later we arrived for our safari. Soon mom came out and announced that we had company. Our good friend and pilot, Roger came through the door. He quickly summed up what was going on and said "How many kids can say they can go out to the garage and have a blast playing with their dad in an old airplane?" Allyse my oldest at five promptly responded. "Three!"Life is so precious.Steve Eldredge________________________________________________________________________________
