Will and Steen aviation is who Manuf. the Sportsmans kit (cuff) for the wing of Cessnas. He (they) put on that kit and the Wing-X wing extensions on my 182 last fall.
Great guy, but didn't know anything about his family. Looks like it carries through the rest of his 'life', too.

Humor may not make the world go around, but it certainly cheers up the process... :)
With clothing, the opposite of NOMEX is polypro (polypropylene cloth and fleece).

Re: Thought this was a good story to share

Wow... Things travel quick via the internet. Especially since I only e-mailed this story to four friends a few days ago. Shortfielder thanks for posting. This is a story that I like to share with folks along with keep for my own scrapbook.

Thank you all for the kind remarks. I hope that you all have had numerous opportunities to share special experiences as well throughout your lifetime. I really want to emphasize: 1) Spend as much time as you can with loved ones & 2) Do support your aviation groups and be involved so access and resources are not jeopardized.

This was not just a special and great time for my son and I but also a great experience for the district rangers and forest service officials to see how great these places are for kids with special needs and that aviation is a solution for making them accessible for them.

So take some time and enjoy what the backcountry has to offer and take a few friends and family members along for the ride.
