Jim Mauro submitted this photo and note: “My grandson Maddox, 6, and I took a Discovery flight in 2012 in a Cessna 172 out of Goldsboro, N.C. Two years later I started my private pilot flight training in Kinston, N.C., at age 71, and completed that same year. Fulfilled a long time desire. He enjoyed that and many subsequent flights with me. Best memories!”
“That grandson did not get the ‘bug’ to fly,” Jim continues. “But his younger brother Noah, now 15, wants to attend the Lenoir Community College’s aviation program during his junior and senior years at high school, at the Kinston airport’s beautiful facility.”
