Mom had a copy of Anne Lindbergh's "North to the Orient," too. I've
always thought of her as timid, but, hmmm.

When one reads what Anne Morrow Lindbergh flew, and what she
accomplished in her life, "timid" is not a word that comes to mind.

Not AML, Jay, my mom!

We got Mom tranqed enough twice to fly -- EWR to SFO and back. I
suppose it didn't help that she was flying with my sister, who "helps"
the flight-deck crew keep the airplane flying by pulling constantly up
on the arms of her seat.

My sister flew with me once, in a 150, nearly 40 years ago, but I
freaked her out with an abrupt control input when I reacted to a
glimpse of some motion in my peripheral vision. (We were abeam Yonkers
and just out of the TEB control zone, and I was a little twitchy. I
learned to fly in the LA basin, but flyig around New York was new to
me.)
