Besides Healeys, another passion of mine is aviation, though I haven't
flown in a few years. I've been catching up on my backlog of aviation
magazine reading, and came across something in the November 2016 issue
of 'Plane & Pilot' magazine I thought y'all might have an interest in.
The author is Bill Cox, a noted aviation writer and ferry pilot, and the
article is about how 'flying never gets old' and is entitled
'Perspectives.' He's referring to his first visit to Telluride,
Colorado, USA:
"My first visit to this tall paradise was over Christmas break in the
mid-'60s when I was 50 years more athletic, but that trip was in a '63
Austin-Healey 3000, not a bad ride, but temporarily attached to Highway
145. At the time, I barely noticed the difference, as the UNM coeds
back in Albuquerque loved that little sports car, and accordingly, so
did I."
Happy New Year to all and have a good ride in 2017.
