What is your story "best time of my life"?
One of my recent best times happened last year. I went to visit some friends in Germany. I met up with a past colleague of mine. We sat in a beergarden, talked, laughed, and generally just had a great time. I got fairly drunk (love German dark wheat beer). It wasn't noticeable until I stood up. I weaved my way through all the moving and swaying buildings until I reached the train station. A good memory.
I have two. The first was being a kid growing up in a stable environment and enjoying the benefits of two hard-working, devoted parents. Some of my best memories are of family vacations camping in the redwoods. The second would be the '80's, the first decade I spent with my now-deceased partner of 19 years. We lived and worked together and were as married as any two unmarried people could be.
Best time of my life when I sat amongst some of the most talented pilots I've ever seen and i was accepted as one of them. This was in 2006 at wachula airport in Florida. It's called Bensen days. I was a full respected gyropilot. With all rights to fly at this occasion. I did. It was something I worked hard to get. I don't go anymore but I got a video on utube teaching soft tail landings.
I'll have to look it up. Do you have the link?
