    I remember it, because it’s my youngest Grandkiddy’s birthday. We had to postpone the special “thing” we do: when the grandkiddies turn 5, they get to fly Grampa’s airplane. But it was too windy on...

    If camping is one of your options, why not just plan that from the get-go, and camp with your airplane? It’s a great experience, camping with fellow aviation nuts, making new friends, seeing old...
