2005 Udvar-Hazy Trip

When we were invited to appear at the first-ever "Be a Pilot Day" at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum, representing "family flying," we were thunderstruck.  I mean, who would ever have thought that we could progress from being "fossils" to "museum exhibits" so quickly? 

Seriously, it was a great honor, and we had an absolutely marvelous trip.   To be on display in the same venue as the Space Shuttle and SR-71 Blackbird was just amazing, and we will remember it for a lifetime.  Better yet, we may have changed a few minds about general aviation, and hopefully may have made a few converts to this wondrous thing we call "flying"...
