Into the Wild Blue Yonder

Just outside Dodgeville, WI sits this plane. We all posed for a picture before the boys flight.
Co-Pilot Grady would get assistance to his seat from Navigator/Grandpa Lobe.
Pre-Flight Inspections: Fuel, Check!, Flaps, Check!, We have clearance, Clarence. Roger, Roger.
Navigator/Grandpa checks the flight records, while Radio Specialist Rick reports for duty. Excuse me sir, there has been a little problem in the cockpit...The cockpit? What is it? It's the little room in front of the plane where the pilot's in, but that's not important right now.
Hey Grady.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Alright cousin, lets get this bird in the air.
Did you know that Farrah Fawcett autographed this plane?
This plane was used in a 70's car commercial and has sat at the Don Q Inn in Dodgeville since then. Well that was until the boys decided to take it for a spin.
Hmmm, lets try to flip some of these switches. That should make it work.
Nervous? Yes. First Time? No, I have been nervous before.
Okay, we are off. Help me pull up so we don't hit that hotel.
Uh oh! I will use the horn, maybe they will move.
So Grandpa, did you really think it was a good idea to have me drive?
Well, thanks for flying Luke and Grady airlines. We hope you enjoyed the flight!
