Congratulations!  I can't say I envy you, because I had my flight a couple of years ago.

HOWEVER, that "future pilot" looks to be saying "anything he does I'll do better"!

AMAZING!!!
What a great day Jerry. Besides the flying experience, your family was with you to experience your joy and to see the smile that was permanently etched onto your face. You have done what many of us only dream to do, and in a real beast of an aircraft! Glad you shared your experience with all of us!!!
Thank You!!

Dave
COMING SOON!
