Hannah Soars


The picture above Hannah's head reads "Who says it can't be done"

Here are some pictures I've been wanting to post but just found the time. Early August Hannah and I saw an advertisement in the paper by the local Aviation club. They were offering airplane rides for kids 8-14 at our local airport-for FREE! So Hannah and I got there about 15 minutes early because we knew there might be a line. In fact, Dad and Madi stayed home because they didn't want to wait in the crowd.

Well, we put our name in 15 minutes prior to the publicized time. By 5 minutes after, they made an announcement that all flights were full for the day and sent everyone else home. We hung out for a little over an hour and Hannah got to take a flight with a local female pilot. She loved the ride but it was also a good lesson in being early and being persistant to get what you really want.

Hannah told me it was worth the wait. Future pilot?

hmmm. Maybe she should drive a car first.

Here's a plan. Start paying for lessons. At 17 she can get a license and be my co-pilot ready to take over in case I have a stroke!

I doubt that is a good plan. How about she get's her license and then flies the Med-evac plane when you drive off the road on your motorcycle while taking pictures going 80 miles and hour?

Okay...Change of plans. Send her to carpentry school so she can learn how to build pine boxes. ◄█████
If it's true that Jesus was a carpenter, he might look upon her favorably for following in his footsteps, and in turn, may help me get my foot in the door.
