To discontinue this project would, in my opinion, do such a disservice to his memory. The pilot sacrificed his life, making dreams come true. My heart goes out to those injured in this tragedy, and my condolences to the pilot’s family. Given the opportunity, I will continue to participate in the Ace program next fall. The community participation in this project will understandably be re-visited. For those involved, it will not make it any less tragic. As a sign of respect, I will not pursue this argument any further. I googled the probability of serious injury in a small plane, and It is far less than sustaining injuries in an automobile.

But they all had one thing in common.Ī deep desire to safely serve the community! I met many people, too many to acknowledge. My first time there, the Mustang Island flying community welcomed me and made me feel at home from the onset. A festival-like environment with a dash of anticipation as children patiently waited their turn to fly. It was a beautiful day at the Mustang Island Airport, full of laughter and smiling faces. I was there to observe a similar program in progress. Thanks to Christi and Mark, Learning how to fly by participating in next year’s Brundrett Middle School ACE aviation training program became a reality. Equivalent to a wish list, it enumerates milestones they hope to accomplish before they kick the bucket unlike saving the world, learning how to fly seemed plausible but almost as unreachable. Learning how to fly will have to remain on my Bucket List a while longer.Ī Bucket List for those unfamiliar with the term is a list used by seasoned folks.
