I'm going to ask Harry the exact same thing!!! Thank you so much for your comment.

He may remember me from Ameriflight days. Going further back, I used to fly that DC-2 when I was at Mercer Airlines in the late 1960s. I believe we sold it in 1969 to Colgate W. Darden II, and it then made its way to KLM.

I've been wanting to try gliding for a while, and it could be something to consider before embarking on my private pilots license. I'm really busy at the moment with work and revising for an exam, but I will book that first lesson within the next couple of months!Steffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511041709132058695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-47233870159283065972011-05-22T14:51:52.404-07:002011-05-22T14:51:52.404-07:00Hi Seffan, And welcome!

Trust me... we've all been ready to snap at some point, and flying somehow breaks that feeling.

I loved his story because his dream was always lurking within and when he finally listened to that voice... and went for it... he took his life in a completely different and wonderful direction. Where would he be now had he not taken that plunge?Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-68915185981131544282011-05-20T08:09:23.018-07:002011-05-20T08:09:23.018-07:00What a great story.

I love how Harry listened to his instincts and let life take him where he needed to go, and trusted himself enough to pursue exciting possibilities. And he found his bliss! This is inspiring.
