This a self portrait of me in the pilots seat of my good friend Butch Schroeder's T-6 Texan. My wife went behind my back and worked magic. I have known Butch for years and would never have ever lowered myself to ask for a flight even if I would had to pay a large amount of cash. My wife having German anchestry asked Butch directly what would it take to get my husband a flight in one of his many warbirds . Much to her suprise he told that he had just seen me the day before ,and was quite aware of who I was and the serious accident I had suffered and would do it free of charge. All she had to do was make an excuse to take me out to his hanger museum, and the rest would be the best suprise birthday that anyone could ever have. It took almost 2 weeks to get the smile off my face.
