Subject: 70th Birthday Present from Camille to Bill!

One bit of trivia about the plane. It’s a 1941 WACO actually used in training during WWII at Pensacola and a couple other Naval Air Stations in the Southeast for the duration of the war. My dad was a Gunnery Master Chief Petty Officer, stationed at Pensacola ‘42-‘43, and may very well have flown in this aircraft and/or used it during preflight training. How cool is that?

For my 80th Birthday? Hmmmm, hadn’t thought about it but balloon rides and race cars aren’t completely out of the question! Nope, vowed to never again jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
