Picture of the day: Growing up in the sky

By General Aviation News Staff · April 8, 2015 ·

Stanley Fortier sent in this photo of the two airplanes he’s lucky enough to own. He explains:

Fortier“I bought this beautiful C-tail in 1970 and then in 1979 I was in the right place at the right time to purchase my A36TC. Today I share both of them with my son. My Dad started flying Beechcraft Bonanzas in 1947, so I grew up ‘in the sky.’ Now we are on the brink of my granddaughters being the fourth generation of flying Bonanzas.”
