On the way home, she thanked me for the "adventure". Maybe I can bribe my
sister
into finding out what she really thinks. On second thought, maybe I'd best
not
do that.

Great story, George -- congratulations! It's not always easy to convince
people that flying in a Spam Can is a good idea.

As a newly minted pilot I had the honor of flying my Mom into her home town
air strip. She arrived like the Queen of Sheba, and even wore headphones,
despite messing up her normally sacrosanct hair! Luckily, it was in a
Piper Cherokee 140 -- not the easiest plane to get into, but easier than a
Maule. (And she was pretty spry, for her age.)

Now that she's gone, it's one of my fondest memories.

On several occasions I've also had the privilege of flying my Mother-in-law,
which is more of a challenge since she's partially handicapped. She's
handled it like a trooper every time, however.

Enjoy them while they're with us, George...
