This was great. I took physics in my senior year at Knox high School from Paul "Fuzzy" Harrington in 1957-58. He took us up for a flight one day and it was my first flight--I loved it and it was exciting to see the family farm from the air. Great teacher and a very good guy. Bob Pawlik

Great video Jon! It was like we were there and to see your dad "remember" the L-3 is very cool.
