As a kid growing up in Medford, my twin passions were golf and flying airplanes. My uncle encouraged me to take flying lessons using his plane, and on my 16th birthday I was proud to get my private pilot license. I flew regularly until my early 20’s, when he sold the plane and I learned how expensive it was to rent one! I haven’t flown for years but still find myself looking up whenever I hear a plane approach. Over the weekend I was surfing the web and wondered how much planes cost these days. To my shock and amazement within 5 minutes I was looking at an ad for my uncle’s plane, the one I had flown so much 40+ years ago! Same original paint, same interior, it looks exactly as I remember it. It was a good reminder that in this fast-paced crazy world, some things do survive.
