Saw a girl at the county fair this week that grew up arround the corner from me. I have known her since 1980 when she was about four. Makes her about 34 now. She has been battling cancer for the last five years. She is putting up a great fight.

We started talking and she said that she heard from her dad that I had an airlane at my place. I offered her a ride and she jumped at it. She showed up at 7 this morning and off we went.

She had a good time


We encountered the Zeplin Farmers Insurance on its way north for its Nortwest Tour


I really had a good time


Never pass up a Quicky-Short Flight

Good job Old Timer

Tim..... Good for you to share flying with her. I hope she beats the dreaded C.


I guess it is suggestive but..... Why did she have her eyes closed ????

She was at the controls at the time and she just copied me.

Her folks were really appreciative. I think I had the most fun. She always has a smile. Now and then we need to be put in our place.

Tim:
What is that over the pull grip in first picture ?

My field approved fold down camera holding device. It is a piece of aluminum with 1/4 -20 tapping with misc Ram Mounts. Works slick. A gypsey approved it.

Tim

Good job.

I saw that zeppelin at KRDD on Friday night when I got home. Wondered what that was about. Busy on the downwind for 16 and didn't see the Farmers logo. Thanks for clearing that up.

So you really are a great guy?? Great job, Tim!! Your the man! I hope she pulls through. Cancer just down right sucks!

That's great, Tim. Nice work.

Flew right over your house today (I think.) I flew about 4 mi east of Montague and circled trying to find you place among those farm plots but couldn't locate it positively. I was going to show you my round tail nice and close up.

Zane you were about 10 miles too far north.

Tim, I love it, great job, you made her day, week, month , year. You really don't know how much that meant to her. This what we all should do for others. Thanks.

Her dad and mom told me how much she enjoyeded it. I could not imagine her enjoying it more than me. Kind of gets to me. She has two little kids and I am 65. I truly would trade with her.

Tim, you're a good son of a gun (once in a while).. ha ha.. Good on ya. And, I hear ya on the trade, I really believe you would...

UPDATE
Just got a call from my good friend Dick Solus. Keri, his daughter died about an hour and a half ago. Cancer is a very patient killer. Out living your kids would just suck.


Tim

Hey Tim........ Very sorry to hear the loss of your friend!

Thanks for sharing Tim- you will never forget that flight..and neither will she-

Cancer SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man that just gives me the willies. I had not seen this thread until today, and thought it was new and thought how cool. THen realized it was an update.

I just can't fathom it.

I also just can't believe how many people in our lives it seems are hit with cancer.

Thanks for sharing Tim, as much as it just effing sucks.

Cruel and yet not unusual. Sorry for the news, Tim.

Reading that just takes the wind out of my sails. My youngest daughter is the same age, and I couldn't imagine the heartache. Well, I can, she's a former Marine and for the 18 months she spent in Iraq I didn't sleep. But knowing and dreading this day for five years... Oh man.
