He hopped out after three landings, patted me on the back, and told me to go have fun!<BR/><BR/>It is in that spirit I try to do the same with any kid with the gumption to give flying a try. Got my nephew started the same way, soloed him in my Interstate and launched him off for a few weeks to do whatever he wanted to do with it.<BR/><BR/>He's now flying a Q400 for a living and I suppose he'll be scrounging Pietenpol parts someday.<BR/><BR/>Jack is one of the finest. I owe him more than I can repay...but I'll keep on trying :)rob bachhttp://capcloud.deviantart.com/gallery/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691095951721643135.post-21352472085657662912009-04-05T03:56:00.000-05:002009-04-05T03:56:00.000-05:00I met Jack in a much similar way, I hopped a ride ...I met Jack in a much similar way, I hopped a ride from Blakesburg to Ottumwa and back in his Fairchild 24. We had some radio trouble that he had fixed while we were there. Jack is just one of those quality men that has kept aviation alive. Thanks for sharing your story! <BR/>Fred KruegerFred Kruegernoreply@blogger.com
