"Feel"?


Man, you're not going to get much true confession around here if you bust
their balls. Confession is good for the soul. Busted balls are....
different.

Okay, here's mine-

Flying out of Flushing Field, New York, in a Waco UPF-7, I wandered over to
CT.

The gen then, was in case of confusion, dive down and read the name of the
Town painted on the Water Tower. Re-orient and go home.

Dove down, over this CT Town, no name on the Water Tower!

At the road intersection, in the center of Town, there was painted on the
surface, the name of the Town, I thought.

Being too young to drive a car, 18 in NY, I was completely ignorant of road
signs.

Climbed up and spent 3 or 4 circles, looking on my Sectional for the CT Town
of GOSLOW.

Eventually the light came on, realized what it meant, flew to next Town,
identified it from their Water Tower and safely returned to Speeds Flying
Service.

That was 66 years ago, but can still hear the guys laughing when I recounted
the story.
