Joe,

I took flying lessons in a Champ in 1953. It was truly great! It was the summer between high school and college and I was working for my dad as an apprentice plumber. I got the weekends off and for $30.00 I got the airplane, fuel, and instructor for 30 to 45 minutes. I was ready to solo but had some difficulty with the three point landing (I was usually a little too high off the runway when I stalled it out). Unfortunately school started before I got the landing thing down pat, never soloed, and really regret it.

If I get to Arizona, will you give me ride in your Sedan?
