Saturday PBS programming included AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, Fly with Me, season 35 episode 11. "Meet the pioneering women flight attendants who transformed the world while flying it." It made me remember when was the 1st time I ever fly in an airplane?
It had to be in the 1960s. My father knew someone who owned a plane. A Piper. He took us to North Field. A tiny airstrip north of Richmond, Virginia.
I remember a stick. Both front and back. The pilot gave me control. I flew the plane from the back seat.
