I don't even know this little boys name, but I can see from the pictures that this is one happy little guy. You see, his Grandpa bought the airplane that Jeremy's family made. This was no ordinary airplane, it won Grand Champion at the Oshkosh air show. I had the privelage of taking several flights in it, in fact, the first time I ever flew in an airplane was in this airplane. Words can't describe this beautiful masterpiece. A few years after Jeremy's Dad passed away, Jeremy and his Mom decided it was time to find a new home for the airplane. Someone who would fly the plane like it was meant to be flown. After several months and several prospective buyers, Jeremy and his Mom decided to sell the plane to Steve Runge. Steve lives in an airplane community. Much like some build their houses around a golf course, Steve's house is built around a private runway. There is much comfort knowing this man is taking care of the airplane the way Jeremy's Dad did. He has taken the airplane to Detroit, North Carolina, and Iron Mountain, MI, just to name a few. His Grandson, 8 years old, flew the cozy for the first time this year. He wrote, "as you can see, it is hard to wipe the smile off his face." Like most things I put on this blog, I am sharing this because it is something I don't ever want to forget.
This is a picture of Jeremy's Dad and Mom in front of the airplane. The picture was taken at the Oshkosh Air show in August 2001. Just days before Tim passed away.
