And I hear the familiar sound of the P-51 flying. We live about 5 miles from the airport, and sure enough the plane was doing what it does best. Really cool to see.
Now the pilot "dates" a girl that works for my wife.
Tuesday nights at the local Irish pub is quiz night. Different catagories every week. My wife usually goes. Last night she encouraged me to go instead. Teams compete for fun. I am not really a bar person, but I went anyways. The girl who dates the pilot is team captain. Well. Sure enough the pilot was there!
We got to talking, I told him how much me and my son admire the plane. We got to talking guns, he said that the first full auto that he ever shot was an MP40. I asked him if he would like to shoot mine sometime. He said sure. Then he said.....Would you like to go flying sometime!!
I was pretty speachless. We didn't set up a date for flight. But talk about a once in a lifetime experience!
The guy is pretty younge. Late 20's? He is also a Garand enthusiest. Even if I don't get to fly, it was pretty cool talking to the guy, he told me to bring my son to the hanger anytime that I want, and he will show off his plane.
When I was walking the dog, I texted my wife, Mustang out. I showed him the text and he thought that was kinda cool.
