I made my first solo in a Piper J-3 in 1955 when I was in high school. N3531N (I think?) I worked for Piper Aircraft for 10 years in Lakeland, FL on the PA-42. It was a great place to work until they folded and went to Vero Beach. I didn't, since I had 3 kids in the Lakeland school district.
@@royernest7740 I do to. Nice airport, I have flown in there once just for fun. I hope the city doesn't move forward with their plans to close the airport.
Beautiful!! I work at the Piper Aviation Museum. I was fortunate enough to at least get some air conditioning when I wasn't outside! Heat was brutal!
@@Davewilliamson5w What a heat wave it was!
Beautiful
Love it!

Great story. Thank you for sharing it!
I have to do this at least once.
I hope you get the chance to attend.

I was hoping to get a chance to go up this year. Perhaps next year I'll get to leave the ground.
