AUGUST

2013

Shortly after receiving my pilot’s license, I had the privilege
of taking my dad and my son on their first ride in a small plane.
We departed KBIL en route to Yellowtail Dam, a hydro-electric
dam near the border of Montana and Wyoming. The air was
calm, and the sites were beautiful. The sheer walls of the
canyon were a spectacular site, full of red and orange rocks.
We followed the canyons of the Big Horn Lake and split off to
explore the Pryor Mountains. We dropped down low enough to
catch site of a herd of wild horses that inhabit the area. Then
it was back to KBIL for a half dozen touch and goes. The pride
I had in sharing this experience with both my father and son
was immense; however, it was dwarfed by the pride I could see
they had in their eyes.
