I work for a television station that broadcasts the syndicated Martha Stewart show. On this repeat episode (dated from mentioning the recent writer’s strike) the special guest was Catherine Bell, whom I personally lust over because I so dig women in uniform. Anyway, as of this episode she and her husband are trying to get their pilots licenses and she’s working on getting a Cirrus SR22 single engine airplane. Mrs. Bell likes that the Cirrus features a gigantic parachute designed to lower the craft to the ground in case of an emergency. I had to look this thing up. In doing so I came across a blog where someone had posted what I am about to link to here: an article called Why I Own My Own Aircraft by Jeff Bryant who is the Southwest Regional Director of the Beech Aero Club, whose 9 year old son regards his Beechcraft Sport as his own, personal X-Wing starfighter.
The story that follows is actually very sweet (not something I say very often) and I encourage you to read it. It’s just a nice little story and I’m sure it says something about bringing people together somehow…I don’t know, I’m just a stupid guy. Check it out.
