Pauls Plane Excursion

Paul went and spent the night at Casa Grande Airfield with the venture scouts, they listened to a retired fighter pilot for the navy, he told them about the naval ships, the desert storm missions and some of the dog fights he got into. The next morning they showed up with 12 differant planes. They gave them a number, we got in line in order, and they assigned us to a plane, Paul got lucky and got put in one of the 3 bi-planes. So Paulie got to fly a plane for a minute and a half, and he didn't even crash! But the pilot did scare him pretty badly by almost stalling it out and diving it to the ground.

I thought he was going on a scout outing. I guess they will let anyone fly a plane!
