Hi All
Big Lar reminds me that the pilot who flew Wendy and I at Monument Valley was Dave Rains with his Cessna 185 Skylark. Thanks Dave and shame on me for not remembering your name. As it happens while looking yesterday for a pic of my Kolb to include in my selling advert. I came across a pic of the three of us standing by the plane.
For the benefit of non attendees Dave had spent the entire afternoon flying groups of local Indian kids around the area. This was purely to help cement relationships with the locals who were getting a bit edgy and threatening heavy charges on anyone unlucky enough to land out in their hallowed hunting grounds.
It must have cost him a bomb in fuel as it was pretty expensive even then. I didn`t even have the good sense to offer to pay for my flight. That has worried me since although I know that he would have refused. Not even to have offered was the height of bad manners. Limey freeloaders!
Cheers
Pat
