We’ll at least my 7 year old son still wants to be a pilot like Daddy. Here he is with Chuck Yaeger. Yaeger’s landing the day before didn’t go so well. ![1-82713-R0012714_cropped.JPG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/copa/original/3X/8/a/8af3621a2ddf4fa6e5ba142e5ed9f674c5298cdd.jpeg) ---

He flew in for the dedication of Heaven’s Landing . He was flying a North American T-6 Texan (N2831D, Ser. No. 53-4577, owned by Ed and Connie Bowlin) and got caught in a crosswind. ---

> In reply to: > > * * * > > I was at 95,000 feet in my cirrus. I thought I saw something blink really fast on skywatch. damn scramjets get’n in my way constantly. almost as bad as those 172s. > > * * * Brad, ThatÂ’s a good one. However, if there is one company that can put us at 95,000 feet and Mach 5 fifty years from now, itÂ’s Cirrus. Also, I have found that you need to stay above 100,000 to avoid the CessnaÂ’s.[:)] ---

It is at least a little consolation that those kinds of things happen to the best of pilots. IÂ’m sure glad he just had minor injuries.
