REFLECTOR: 1st flight

[Rene Dugas]

David,
I agree.  Flying kids is great.  We have a fly-in Saturday at KMLU Monroe, LA and our EAA wanted to have a big prize for attendees.  There will be a drawing to fly in the Star Wars plane with me and get pictures.  I've flown over 100, an astronaut, and several WWII vets.  A trill for them and me.  I carry gallon zip lock bags (open) hanging from under the seat cushions just in case.  Kids get quiet when they are sick.  No hurling yet-9 years.   Just FYI.
Good food Saturday 9 till 2.  
Freedom Fly-In KMLU.

Sent from Rene's iPad. A pleasure.  Go Apple.
