One Kid's Life Changing Dream

That's me, the skinny 12 year old, with my slouching best friend beside the Piper Tripacer in which we first discovered flight.

The day was grey but that didn’t matter. I still recall the wonder of it all – marvelling at the green fields spread out below, the tiny houses, the tiny cars snaking along the roads.

It cost us each ten bob (ten shillings) or one dollar in today's lingo.

I thought the pilot's name was Mike or Oscar because that's what he kept saying into his hand held mic. I learned later it was Earl.

Thanks again, Earl, wherever you are. You made that kid's dream come true and his life so much richer.
