Aircraft Index

My interest in aviation began while we were visiting family in Stevenson, Washington, when my Dad arranged for an airplane ride from a grass strip on the side of a mountain overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. I don’t remember my exact age, but I was probably about 14. I got to sit in the front seat and was thrilled and captivated by all of it, from the views to the feeling of freedom that we are privileged to experience.
