Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 6:11 am Post subject: One of those magical moments

Hi Group!  When building, I always enjoyed those

inspiring messages that kept me motivated to work on

the project... so, here is one from me.



Since a few weeks, I spend a lot more time working

around my house than flying.  Saturday, familly and me

shuffled about 30 yards of earth and it was a long

day... Sunday early morning, nobody in my house wanted

to get out of bed and I decided it would be a unique

time to take a little break from working on the house

and go flying.



Enroute to the airport, I called my mother in

Sherbrooke and we arranged to meet at Sherbrooke's

airport.  After a quick weather and notam check with

the FSS I deposited my flight plan and prepared the

plane (my local airport is 10 minutes from home).



Soon enough, I was flying, after a Pitts, a RV4 and 2

ultralights took off.  The route to Sherbrooke is not

that long (50 minutes), but the scenery is quite nice

and the weather was simply beautiful.  There were no

clouds, no wind, no turbulences... a great day!



After landing at CYSC, I saw my mother waiting for me

at the parking area.  My mother is 65, suffers vertigo

when climbing on a chair and is normally not in a very

good physical shape... but Sunday, she was doing well,

smiling and asked me how it was in the air.  She

wanted to try it for a ride!



I said hello to some of my friends, found somebody to

take pictures (I did not have my camera and I did not

imagine she would ask me for that). And then, I taught

her how to sit in the plane.  Soon after, we were

taking of from runway 31 for a short local flight

(over her house).  She enjoyed it (even though she

would have prefered I fly straight all the way with no

turns).  



After a good breakfast, we said goodbye to each other

and I came back home, making some detours around areas

I like in Eastern Township (my uncle house near Magog,

Mount Orford, etc etc). 



I was home for lunch and then got back to work.

Michel, thank you. For all of us whose Mothers have gone on, we appreciate 

your story. I was there in your plane with you and your Mother. I envy you your 

Sunday morning. Bill of Georgia

Wonderful story Michel. I'm sure your mother was proud of you and told all 

her friends of the experience. These are the moments we never forget.
