Picture of the Day: Milo Will Never Look Up the Same Way Again
Jessica Power submitted this photo and note: “I recently acquired a flight school, and we had our open house recently. A family brought their eight-year-old son to see an airplane. On the way he asked them if he could fly it and they quickly said no. We raffled off three Discovery Flights that day. Milo was the first number drawn. Two hours later he took the controls of our 1967 Cessna 150G. This will be a highlight reel in my memory for life. I love this industry and I’m blessed that I have the opportunity to share it.”
