Hod Taylor celebrated his 89th birthday August 20 with a 2 1/2 hour
flight over the beautiful Carson Valley and Lake Tahoe in a Duo Discus
out of Minden. �Many readers will remember Hod from his days at Black
Forest Soaring, where he flew a triple lennie and entertained other
pilots with his aerobatic antics. �And on this memorable birthday
SoaringNV offered him free time in their Duo Discus, with veteran
instructor Gabe Bourbeau in the back seat, and a free tow from Soar
Minden. �This was Hod's first flight in the Duo Discus, and Gabe said
he sang World War II ballads and shanty songs during most of the
flight, along with comments on what a beautiful flight he was having.
Don't you all wish you could spend your 89th doing the same?
