To Fly....

so i have a problem.

i want to get my daughter into an airplane to take a tour about the city.

Fort Wayne Air Service AKA Smith Field does not return phone calls....

does anyone have any ideas as to how to make this happen?

does FWIA have any local scenic flights?
any ideas are welcomed.

Experimental Aircraft Association Young Exploreres Program takes up kids on flights for free. They do this I believe about 4 times a year, and I believe they are based out of Smith Field.

I think that Kendalville has an airport. I'm pretty sure I pass it on SR3 every time I hit Michigan to see the folks. . .

My mother worked with a guy (also a good family friend) who owns his own plane and flys all the time. He has offered to take myself and Kayla up numerous times. I have been trying to coordinate a time to get up there with him myself so I can see what his plans are for the spring...I know he will be flying a lot once the weather turns...

I personally have a thing against flying, but have been a little better at doing it in the last few years...

Starting to not freak out when the time comes kinda thing...lol...

Or we might get hungry and kill and eat everybody else before they feel the slightest hunger pang.

Yeah, I didn't think of that angle. We could make a mean Atherton-Ribs-Barbecue!

Funny how far from the topic we are now.

Reminds me of the Monty Python skit about the guys on a lifeboat discussing who to eat first.

Their is an airport on SR8 between Butler and Kendalville, they do sky diving and scenic flights, I have been on one before and I'm sure the rates are still reasonable
