Spooky. The Butner prison complex is where I take anybody I give a ride
to out of 8NC8. For Young Eagles its, "guess what's in those
buildings". And it's our flight school's standard practice area. There
are 3 to 5 prisons there, roughly 3 miles from the airport (thankfully
across a lake, a quarry, swamplands, and interstate).

How many times have I wondered about people imprisoned below while I'm
doing figure eights and turns around a point in the big blue sky overhead.

As a kid, reading the account of his big flight in Vietnam while
building model airplanes, I was saddened knowing I would probably never
get to fly a Phantom but I knew I would always fly.

Thanking of Cunningham sitting it out in Butner while I cavort
overhead...as much as I hate what he did, how he did it, and the
egotistical a--hole he always seemed to be in public accounts... life
seems harsh and arbitrary even when law and order is righteously served.
But it is the way it is.
