Being married, I would have to get 'permission'! Even if I do finish up
I don't think I will ever have to worry about the passenger issue unless
one of my grandkids wanted to take a scenic fly around. That's really
all I fly for, just to enjoy the scenery and maybe take some aerial
photos of things for my collection. I used to have a set of photos of
Campbell, California taken in 1966 and blown up to 8" by 10" for a
senior year high school project. They got lost in a move somehow but I
was thinking how neat it would be to take another set and compare the
town 40 years later. The only point of reference left might be the
railroad tracks, since the town has been overdeveloped along with the
rest of 'Silicon Valley'.
