Stan:
And there's the float plane rating....
The booklet and other flying miscellany of my father's reposes in a foot-locker of his that I keep.
As avid as he was at various times in his life about guns, shooting, hunting, fishing and sailing, I believe he got more pure enjoyment later in life with the flying.
Part of it was that he outlived his hunting and fishing buddies and found a new camaraderie in flying with a group that was largely comprised of men of a younger generation.
You inquired of Richard about distances in a slow plane. My father's farthest trip was from Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and back.
