My love of early aviation is apparent from all the time I have spent in the Smithsonian, National Air and Space Museum. I only recently learned about another National Air and Space Museum, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia while working on a Job Application. I hope to visit this museum at some point soon.
An AVI file from Amy and my 2005 vacation to Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island, Maine and my BI-PLANE ride. Having completed my ground school and making perfect on the test way back in 1979 I know something about flying and the pilot let me fly her all around the Western part of the Island.

Our 2005 vacation included a Bi-plane ride over the Mount Desert Island and Bar Harbor, Maine. Wonderful vacation.

The fellow in the forground lives on 7 mile beach in the Grand Cayman. I had scuba dived there several years ago. He knew Evelyn Johnson, Morristown, where I had taken the only flying I had taken years ago.

Amy would have gone and could have had she not been afraid of messing up her famous bufont hairdo. She will take a ride with me next time though.
