I have a nice stash that I keep in my flight bag just in case. Let me know when you plan to check out Kealy's. We might be able to organize a small midwest meetup.

When we popped the tape in, we realized his sister had recorded her soap operas over the footage. I forgot to mention, a few weeks later we went to show the footage to some friends.

Of course I forgot we were working on stalls that day. Looking through the viewfinder of the camera and the movement didn't help his cause. Within minutes he turned green and my instructor went full speed back to the airport. Previously, a passenger had thrown up and he got stuck with cleaning the vomit out of the back seat. He wasn't about to see it happen again. We made it back without my friend throwing up, but my friend kissed the ground when he got out of the airplane.
