    Beautiful Saturday Morning Discovery Flight!

    Beautiful morning for a Discovery Flight! Dominic received the gift of flight from his wife and redeemed his certificate this morning when he and Jeff took N37JA out for a fun flight. His smile says it all! Dominic started in the office with some chair flying and ended up back in the office with an incredible story to tell. "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can’t I?" Yip Harburg
