Sailed all around the world but never got to fly in a plane until I was 24 years of age. I then got to fly in old C-119 (Flying Boxcars) and old C-47s,(Dakota) made 239 take offs (Flights) but never got to land in any of them. I then joined Army Aviation and got to fly almost every day in Otters, Bird-dogs, Beavers, Caribous, and Hueys. I then flew in Mohawks in Vietnam for a year getting many hours of flight time.
Flying to Germany, UK, Vietnam, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand I got to fly in the big passenger jets, too many to mention.
The wife and I have decided no more overseas flights to join a cruise, we only cruise in the rivers and waters in the USA, a three hour flight is our limit.
