Great Story in this month's AOPA Pilot by Rick Durden
Our own Mr. Durden has published a wonderful tale in the new AOPA Pilot mag
about the experience of watching his daughter, Amelia, solo a glider on her 14th birthday. As the father of a daughter who is just 4 years shy of that age, I can attest to the fact that there is NO WAY I can imagine her soloing an aircraft of any kind. My stomach tightened as I read the story, thinking about what it would be like watching my little Rebecca wheeling and soaring overhead. I actually shed a tear when Amelia successfully completed her solo flight, and palpably felt Rick's relief upon seeing her perfect landing. Great story, Rick. Thanks for giving me yet ANOTHER reason to fear the future...  -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
