My mom soloed in a Piper cub in 1942. She washed out of the WASP
program due to poor vision. She went to work for Pan Am as a radio operator in Brownville TX and met my father (an Air Traffic Controller for the CAA in Balboa, Panama) "over the airwaves" via Morse code in 1944. As a new pilot, I was thrilled to take my mom flying for her 82nd birthday. She passed away 3 years later. Dad retired from ATC in 1973 after working at Albuqerque Tower Everett, WA tower (PAE), Seattle Center, and Spokane (WA) Approach. john smith wrote: Just curious how much "trickle-down" aviation there is among us? |
