Is that how you ended up in Mexico?
No, that was long ago, back in the 1970s, well before we started coming to México. We sold the airplane when we moved away from an airport and had no way to fly without a long drive. Didn't make sense. But I still remember all the wonderful airplanes at the fly-in, and those spectacular plates of corn and tomatoes in a little dive in small-town Iowa. And the pork tenderloin sandwiches were pretty swell also. Another memory is waking up in our tent early in the morning and hearing the dew drop on the bottom wing of a biplane parked next to us. That was actually the Parks known throughout the world as the one in Jonathon Livingston Seagull. Beautiful airplane, red with engine turnings on the cowling. There must have been many, many millions of dollars of aircraft at the fly-ins. We were very small beans in our little Luscombe.
