future pilots a place to practice and perfect their skills. As Pat paraphrased from one of his favorite Will Rogers quotes, "The most dangerous thing about flying or earning a living flying is starving to death. Aviation as a career is very difficult because it is expen­ sive co learn. Young pilots have a very diffi­ cult rime. Perseverance ... is the key to suc­ ceeding." Not only do small airporcs provide prac­ tice grounds for studying pilots, Pat went on co explain, they also provide a place for other vital businesses necessary to our way of life. For instance, tl1e Ann Arbor Airport has Med-Flight for the University of Michigan. There is also a scrip where organ transplants fly in and out. These services alone attribute an extra $104 million value co the Ann Arbor Airport. After several months of precise and delib­ erate planning, Pat and Juanita devised their route including the upper peninsula and the lower peninsula. The lower penin­ sula was broken into quadrants for easier charting. The trip consisted of2,695 miles using 120 knots.
