As a child raised in the Army, we brats prided ourselves in being able to sing all the military anthems at the tops or our lungs. And somehow the Air Force one was the most exotic.
Well, here Gene and I go off in the wild blue yonder on a real adventure. The Flagship Detroit restored DC-3 has only three pilots who have enough experience to be covered on insurance and Gene is one of them. He was asked to take the reins for the next month as we hit the spring air show circuit.
Tomorrow they will come through Covington and pick up Gene, leaving off the other pilot, John Thatcher and head to Columbus, GA for Thunder in the Valley air show. If you are anywhere near Columbus, this is a real air show and should be a lot of fun. I will drive John to Hartsfield to catch a flight back to Dallas and then drive on to Columbus. Emily and Taylor are to join us there on Sunday.
After the show Gene will go on to Shelbyville, TN with the plane and teach three days of classes. I will join him there on Thursday and on Friday the real adventure starts as we head across country.....tune in for further news.
