I sure did Jan, I took the coupe up with My Son Cody (11) who knew the significance of our flight today. I also took an old airline pilot up for a while, Old!! he was younger than I am! Consider ourselves lucky to be able to celebrate such an illustrious event. Whata Century. Wayne:: Jan the plane is running just fine. Thanks to you.
