"Today was a airport fun day for friend Don Kirkland and his wife Dianne. Don is a retired missionary pilot/pastor who hadn't been in an airplane in about five years. I worked it out with another friend and fellow EAA1211 member Ed Benson, who volunteered to fly Don around. They took off from City of Blairsville Airport, flew around Lake Nottely, flew out to Copper Hill Airport where Ed keeps his plane and flew back. Ed let Don fly the plane most of the way back. I think it's safe to say that Don was in his glory!"
Got Don settled in the back:
Ready to taxi out:
Low pass at Blairsville:
Taxiing in after a wonderful flight for both of us:
Again, nothing much better than sharing the joy of flight with someone who truly appreciates it!
