We don't pay the kids for getting good grades, but we made a deal with them...those who got A's and B's on their report card would get to go flying with Dad. The kids were super excited and worked hard. CJ and Aparri earned their flights! So on a Saturday in November...Clay took CJ and Aparri up into the clear blue skies! CJ diligently helped Clay do the preflight check by reading off the different check list items. Laura, Detric and Preston watched front the ground as they taxied and took off. Then Laura and the boys raced the plane to the house where they flagged, danced, and said hello to the flyers with red rags as they flew around the neighborhood. CJ loved flying - he even flew the plane for a while - look out world, I think we have another pilot coming!!! Aparri loved the ride too, but preferred her seat in the back where she got so relaxed she took a nice nap!
