Father and Son, Airplane to Airplane
About 40 minutes northwest of Houston is the suburb of Tomball, Texas.

Thank you for a nostalgic story that had me thinking of my own Dad, a long time gone but not forgotten, and his Cessna.
A Great Story filled with fond memories...
Well, that was just a speck of dust that blew right into my eye there...
I really connected with the story but, where's the Father and Son picture?! Was I the only one expecting one? :)
I learned to fly late in life (47), I never got a chance to take my Dad up. He was always adamant (OK, scared poopless!) of planes and heights but, he would have found the courage (not wanting to disappoint me) and he would have climbed on the right seat. (I often think about this while flying) We did share a similar connection as the mentioned over a boat.
This story goes to show people that, yes...a boat is a boat, a plane is a plane, a house is a house but, there are times, when they harvest memories, they are more than that! A lot more.

What a great story!
That's a great and inspiring story. I'm based in Sydney, to which the writer refers. I was fortunate to be able to purchase a 1964 model PA30 just last year, with which my father had a personal connection.
