So I'm at the airport with my 8-year-old grandson, showing him the pieces of my Mini-Max 1100 and the other airplanes in the hangar where I rent space.  We notice a guy two hangars down unloading his SUV so we went over to say hi.  Nice guy, John Mohr, mentions he has a Stearman in his hangar at another airport, offers to give my grandson a ride some time.  He listened politely as I bragged about my home-built project and how I don't need a license to fly Part 103, then gave me the name of a friend who does ultralights, in case I need help.  Totally a great guy.  Name's familiar though.  Wonder why?

Didn't realize at the time . . . it was this guy.  Do I feel like an idiot? Why yes, yes I do.

If my grandson doesn't want the ride, can I go?

Just don’t show your grandson the video cause he’s going to beg for that kind of ride!

Amazing stuff.
Why focus on proving how great you are, when you could focus on becoming better?...
