 C150 N6579F.  Ray Fleming, pictured above, was my flight instructor, showing me how -- in the old days -- pilot portraits were made. Side-by-side (below), my C150 - N6579F, and the "family car," N79413. Both of these airplanes took me many a mile.

for a time served as a glider trainer for me too. It weighed about the same as a
Blanick, and I didn't need a whole lot of folks to get me launched. Just take it up,
cut the mixture... and sail.
Who says you can't take a plane on a fishing trip? A co-worker and I flew down alongside the Pecos river one weekend to catch a few white bass that were running up the river and, learned how to catch alligator gar as well.
