This is what makes this group as special as our beloved birds. We disagree, we argue, and sometimes we're even forced to eat pizza. BUT; acts like Willie's, and others prove the true character of our group. Thanks to everyone who works to keep our bunch special.

Yes, Christina did make contact with me the first week of February. We corresponded via email for a few weeks until I was able to fly 78H to Sacramento Executive with my wife to meet with her. She was a very happy and emotional young lady, and very appreciative to be able to see and fly in the airplane her father once owned and flew from 1965 to 1971. Christina is a 23-year old college student in the Sacramento area whose father passed away when she was 8 months old. She has aspirations to get her private pilot certificate; I believe this experience has been an inspiration for her. It was very interesting to see some old photos of 78H and look through the old flight logbook. It appears 78H was based at Hayward Muni during that time, and spent quite a bit of time flying throughout central California. It gave me great pleasure to be able to do such a simple thing to give this young lady the opportunity to make a connection with her father. I have added a few photos of Christina and myself with N3378H at KSAC on http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N3378H.html AIM HIGH! FLY SAFE!

I went to the link to your Coupe in your signature and ran across this note at the bottom. > This was at http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N3378H.html Sounds like you could gain some history of your plane and make someone else happy at the same time! > Regards, > Gene
