Think I am still unwinding from my flight west.
In the Wichita, Tx, area, I planned a stop at Kickapoo Airport to take a
break. However, as I got closer to Kickapoo, I realized it was very busy.
Decided to land at Danaher Airport a few miles SW of Kickapoo. During my
approach I realized this old airport hadn't been used in a while. The
asphalt was crumbling and the weeds were growing. Did not realize the
history of this airport and the owner until I got home. Check it out.
http://airportjournals.com/tom-danaher-not-an-average-pilot/ Also check out
the unique quarters on top of the hanger.
The Grumman Goose, noted in the article, could be seen in the first hanger
through the dirty window. I didn't take a picture of it. Had I know it's
history, I would have.
Amazing how big the wind mills are in Texas.
Canyon de Chelly in Arizona, near the Navajo town of Chinle. Canyon de
Chelly was home to the Anasazi.
I flew in the following states:
Alabama
Mississippi
Louisiana
Arkansas
Texas
New Mexico
Arizona
Utah
Nevada
Oregon
Idaho
Wyoming
Colorado
Kansas
Missouri
And, of course, all my flights originate at Gantt International Airport, 750
feet long. For years it was 600 feet. Then I started stretching it out.

Here is a little more info on Tom Danaher. Be sure and watch the video
clip:
http://www.texomashomepage.com/story/d/story/services-set-for-aviation-legen
d-tom-danaher-whose/15061/NSxZ0JzoQkO8-WG-77EBAA
His obituary has a real good read on his life, plus there are over 100
photos in the gallery under his photo, upper left:

r&lc=4197&pid=172460513&mid=6119855
To my surprise, Tom Danaher was still living when I landed at his airport on
8 Sep. He died on 12 Sep. I would have loved to have had the opportunity
to visit with him.

What a life! It always amazes me how much some people have done. I was in Wichita Falls for a little while in the Air Force. I am sure if I lived their longer I would have heard of this man as it seems he was very well known. Thanks for sharing John.

Yes, that is a good one. One of my favorite copilots on that trip. I had
three.
