Unfortunately this memory is clouded by the maintenance problem on the
return trip that stranded my boys and me in Nowhere, Indiana. I am still
paying off the favor of being rescued by a fellow pilot at my FBO.

Yeah, that really bites. What a shame!

Actually, our most memorable flight of the year was to Las Vegas with
Jim & Tami Burns, but I didn't count that one since I was merely a
co-pilot (and an unnecessary one, at that) on that trip -- and it
actually took place before summer started.

THAT was a helluva trip, in many ways. We had a fantastic time, but I
wouldn't want to duplicate that flight experience any time soon. (We
ran into intense, long-term turbulence that made flying slightly more
fun than being poked in the eye with a sharp stick...)

Once there, all was well, and the flight home was great -- but that 12
hour stretch on the way out will live forever in our memories as the
single most grueling flight, ever.
