  1. So glad you took after your Dad’s side. This tale explains *everything* 😀

  2. So funny!! May I share this with a pilot friend?

  3. I agree with Molly! Clearly, the watermelon doesn’t roll far from the patch! LOL

  4. I’ve eaten watermelon every day this summer, Wanda. I think of your Dad and airplanes now when I eat one. Thanks for sharing a beautiful story.

  5. What a great story! Thanks for sharing!

Scared the bajeebies out of the old man whose field it was. Then one time we were flying from Tenn. to Texas and he set down in my grandfathers field only Papa had just put up a new ‘bob wire” fence and forgot to tell us. had to make a hard right, fast.!
