OMG it must be a disease....lol. My father in his youth in WV bought an arm surplus Jenney JN-4 in the early 30's and the grass field he flew it out of is STILL in use today. I flew control line model airplanes all my life and still do occasionaly. I always wanted to get my pilots license but being red/green color blind would probably have prevented it but I still have the urge. About 10 years ago I ALMOST bought an ultra-light plane from a club member at that field in WV but at 67 then I thought better of it. Who knows what tomorrow brings. It is also ironic that two years ago we took off from Florida in our MH and went west to California, up the Coast to Oregon, then back to New England to visit out kids. We whent over the Tehachapi loop! What an experience with a 42' MH towing a Ford Explorer!! Gonna go take a ride in my 29 Roadster....lol.
