A Priceless Privilege

Posted on Nov 14, 2010

Being able to pilot an aircraft is always a privilege. Being able to wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and look at a map to figure out where you want to fly that day is priceless. Yesterday, when I awoke I thought about taking a quick flight down to Fresno in the afternoon. Earlier […]
