Re: Hayden's Air Tour 2007
Hayden's trip to Connecticut
Hayden rode along with me during the first week of October when I went to Connecticut and the AOPA Expo.
We started in Neenah, WI where I took him in my flight school's Arrow to go to Madison (Middleton, C29) and pick up Kent. Then Kent and I flew the Arrow to the Campbell Airport in the northern part of Chicago (C81) to meet up with Mike.
Kent and I and Hayden rode along in Mike's Cherokee 235 as the "four" of us traveled across the country to Hartford, CT. There we met up with Dan, so it was a reunion of the three
Pilotcast pilots.
Sorry, no pictures with Phil Boyer. I didn't lug the gnome along to the show.
I am holding onto Hayden because we weren't sure who would be making it to the upcoming midwestern fly-in that Tony is hosting in Ames, IA. I plan to go to that so I will be sure to hand him off there.

Did I miss a post where Hayden went to the hospital? Poor Poor Hayden.
Somebody needs to make a leather helmet and goggles for Hayden! ...or a modern flight helmet.
