COME FLY WITH ME!

    COME FLY WITH ME!

  I love to note special days in our
history and this day, July 17th, is one
of them!
   You'll remember Lindbergh's solo
flight across the Atlantic! Well that
didn't happen on this date. But one
of the men working on Lindbergh's
crew. Doug, was so inspired that
he took an old airplane, rebuilt it
himself, and flew it from California
to Brooklyn, New York! He planned
to fly it across the Atlantic on July
17th of 1938 but aviation  officials
refused permission because of the
condition of the aircraft. Doug was
allowed to fly back to California so
he took off on the 17th and landed the
next day in...Dublin, Ireland!!!!!!
    Now perhaps you remember Doug
"Wrong Way" Corrigan!
    Guess he didn't have a GPS!
    Hope you're flying in the right
direction, that you're well, and that
all your NEWS is good!
