Letter from O’Lena

Posted on January 22, 2015 by mwflyer

Dear Dave:

I enjoy reading about how others use their airplane. Your story about John Matson in the Aug/Sept. 2014 issue of Midwest Flyer Magazine struck a chord with me. I also have been blessed with the ability to fly to work.

Although I drive more than I fly, I have the ability to use my airplane to fly from my home in Hartford, Wisconsin to my office in Oshkosh.

Turning my 55-minute drive into a 20-minute flight truly makes my day much more enjoyable!

I enjoy your magazine. Keep up the good work!

See you at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, July 20-26, 2015.
