Cliff owned a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing, fixed-wing aircraft.

“It’s a safe plane,” Charlie reported. “The Skyhawk has the best accident rate in private aviation.”

After his flying lessons, Charlie started going up with Cliff. Additional instruction, I suppose. They didn’t go far; they just flew around the county. One time they nearly ran out of gas as they were circling our farm—I was out riding and the plane was flying so low that my horse shied. They made it back to the airport just in time.

“You could have gotten me killed,” I told Charlie when he got home.

“You’re lucky we didn’t get killed,” Charlie answered.
