Jay's posts about his son and flying remind me
of the family of my hanger mate.

Saturday morning, my instructor and I were standing
outside the hanger talking. A car pulls up full
of teenagers. I recognize at least 2 of them as
my hanger mate's kids and I know from talking to
him that they have PPL's.

We watch as they pile out of the car, swarm over
the Piper Arrow with each of them doing a portion
of the preflight, push the plane out and mount
up. The tallest girl takes the left seat, yells
"clear prop" and they are off.

Good kids.

As compared to?

Being broke and stuck in a little
apartment in Paris?
