Flying

My brother, Bear, loves airplanes. There is one plane that is his all time favorite. It is a C47 WWII era plane that is located at the Warbird Museum near our home. Her name is TICO BELLE. She recently started to fly again, after having crashed in 2001. A friend of ours emailed my mom one day and told her to call the Warbird Museum, that they were offering flights on her. Mom called, then called dad, then we went out to the Warbird Museum and bought tickets for all of us to fly on TICO BELLE. Bear was excited. After having to reschedule our flight several times, Saturday was our day to fly. It was a really nice flight. TICO BELLE is a plane full of history. She was flown by young American men in WWII, and later became the plane that transported the DANISH ROYAL FAMILY. She now is at home just about 3 miles south of our home at the Warbird Museum. This is where my Bear fell in love with her. It was fun to watch Bear on his first airplane flight on his favorite plane.

I liked seeing the propeller go.
