Stanley Fortier submitted this photo and note: “My granddaughter, Hannah Fortier, had her first flight lesson today, taking her on a wonderful journey of being our family’s fourth generation pilot. Her great grandfather, Herman Fortier, became a pilot in 1947. He owned and flew Beechcraft Bonanzas (a 1947, 1948A, 1949B, and 1952C models). I, Stanley Fortier, got my pilot certificate in 1966 and bought a 1950 Bonanza B-35 V Tail in 1970. In 1980 we bought a 1980 Beechcraft Bonanza A36-TC. My oldest son, Rick, got his pilot certificate in 1990. We still have the two Bonanzas. And here comes, Hannah, making life more beautiful, all right here in Chico, California. We are blessed, indeed.”
