This story reminds me of the first air show I ever saw. My grandparents took me to see the Blue Angels for my 9th birthday. I love how your stories always have such a vivid sense of place and tone.
Much, much simpler days. My step-dad worked the "police beat" for the Detroit News but as a former member of the 1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam was sent to cover the Selfridge Air Base Air Show just northeast of Detroit.
I'm an aerobatic pilot and I loved your story.
Bill, I don’t know if I ever knew that about you. How cool! And thank you so much for the kind words. I’m happy you enjoyed my story. 😊
Bill, you are a man of many talents!

Thank you so much, Jason. I’m happy “Incoming!”brought back this memory for you!

That’s really neat. He must have been an incredibly skilled pilot!
Nope. He was a PIO. ( Like Joker in Full Metal Jacket )
Ohhh, gotcha.
This was a joy to read. 😀
I appreciate it, Mark. Thank you!
That was a family friendly tale, loved it!
Thank you so much, Kim! 😀
