Yip - my $10,000 dollar 1 way Flight ! 

Whats really, Really Odd, is that I never got to even get on the Aircraft and Fly in it either for that price !

For I was on the Recieving end , instead of the deaprting end ,,,
 
My Father is dying of Leiukema, and I had to have him Airlifted from Springfield / Branson to Kansas City, to be put in a Nursing home, for ground transport would of been Risky, and longer , where as by Air Ambulance it was a 25 minute flight .

Ol' pops was a Private Pilot for 53 years without an incident - he owned a 1965 Cessna 172 for a long time, till he recently sold it. 

See photos.

I hope that at the very least this means your Dad is closer to you for visiting. I'm sad in that my 86 year old Dad is over 3400 miles away from me......Go visit your Pa!

Yip , I see the ol' Pilot pops everyday now that he's 15 minutes from me,, instead of 4 hours !  now - I'm going thru the paper work Fiasco, with Medicare and his insurance,, which he has fabulous insurance,, no doubt,, he was in the pipe fitters union for 33 years. 

he's slowly improving with therapy & rehab, I got him a room all to himself.

we put photos of his Cessna and other flight stuff all around his room, and I stuck Jet Fuel Air Freshners on a shelf in his room to livin it up a bit !!  Grin Grin Grin

I have a DVD playin on his TV in his room,, of flight simulator aircraft flyin around,, he thinks their real aircraft  Shocked  Grin  Cheesy 

Still gotta lotta work to do, on his improvement,, in time,, if it happens .

stay tuned !

Jetranger.
