How CJ got his wings

I have yet to post about our tour of the Daetwyler factory (which was super cool btw) but lately CJ has been on my case about posting some pics of his flying adventure...

This is from back in June.

The Daetwyler men are avid aviators. It started with Grandpa Daetwyler who first renovated then actually designed small airplanes. The interest continued and Ralph's Dad loves to fly and both Ralph and his brother have pilot's licenses. Ralph's brother actually works as a commercial pilot. They own a few planes and since their factory is basically nextdoor to a local airfield and hangar they can go out and fly whenever they feel like it. Too cool. When we were there Mr. Daetwyler took Cory up in their plane for a little adventure. Here are some pics. The hilarious part was seeing CJ, a 6'4" guy cram himself into the tiny cockpit...
All ready...
And they're up...
Landing in the grass...
Big smiles... that was fun.
 Here he is trying to get out...

What a beautiful town! You have succeeded in making me hungry.
Hard to believe Cory actually fit into that tiny plane!
Love,
Mom
