April 15, 2018 - Taking Ken Flying |
||||||
Our old Navy friends Ken and Becky were staying with us. Ken was an A-6 Intruder NFO and was also an aeronautical engineer so I thought he would like to go flying in my plane. We flew down to Easton for lunch at the Sugar Buns cafe. Yes, I had a Sugar Bun and it was excellent! |

Ken liked the old F-104 Starfighter that sits on the ramp.
Back at home, the girls were out shopping, so I gave Ken a stack of my aviation magazines -- EAA Sport Pilot, AOPA Pilot, and Kitplanes -- to read. A few hours later he had picked out the airplane
he wants to build! I forget the type but it was one of those high-speed, composite jobs. Ken is retired, and has been doing a lot of home renovation and tropical fish stuff. He's one of those guys who is good at whatever he does. A kit plane project is perfect for him! He even already has a private pilot's license. |
