Kari brought Thuy out for a birthday ride:
My last ride of the day was for the 89th birthday of a Bostonian who was part of that generation which brought us through WWII. Clay served as a rifleman with the 2nd Marine Division in the Pacific. His career with AT&T included service installing portions of the DEW Line in Alaska. He enjoyed his hour in the air even though the view of Monterey Bay was obscured by the seasonal summer fog which usually burns off by the time we flew!
Here's Clay ready to go and standing next to him is family friend Peter who had a ride himself months ago and then brought his visiting father down for a ride also:
The single ride in the front seat gives the passenger a magnificent view, not to mention more physical room:
We fly about 80 mph behind the towplane but after release, slow to around 55mph:
Nice way to celebrate one's birthday!
