[Qcwa] A little Christmas cheer

Sat, 13 Dec 2003 17:21:26 -0600

During my flying days a gentleman landed at Mt. Hawley airport in Peoria. A
number of us went out to look at the J-3. We noticed a bunch of road maps in
the cockpit but not much that looked like aeronautical charts. When the
gentleman had paid for his gas and was heading back to the J-3 someone asked
where he was headed. His reply was Alaska. We asked how are you getting
there. He replied "Going to the ocean and turning right" not a bads plan!
