America’s Newest Adult!

We went to Ruth’s Chris for steak and cake!

Feb. 24, 2018: Grant was selected to be a participant in the Mr. Eagle pageant.

Mo-Ma was his escort!

March 22, 2018: Funny flight story to remember. Grant is flying a solo cross country when suddenly his battery goes dead in the middle of the flight. He lost his radio and navaids in the middle of San Antonio International airspace. He happens to see an airport with a nice long runway right beneath him. He circles to land (com-out). Ordinarily, he might be commended for getting a stricken aircraft safely on the ground during an in-flight emergency. Unfortunately, he landed on Randolph Air Force Base, which, as it turns out, is frowned upon. Suddenly he is being chased by the Base Security Police Force. They ordered him out of the plane and took him to Base Ops. They impounded the plane, and we had to drive to San Antonio to get him.

Oh, in case anyone asks, I spoke with the NCOIC of Security. He said this was not an arrest or detention and Grant did not have to report it.
