That's a wonderful story big guy, proves you can be part of a greater humanity whilst pursuing an otherwise solo hobby. I posted a story some time ago where I sat with an elderly lady who had recently lost her husband,dropped a set of goggles on her head and we flew around the town and lake where we live. She had no idea what the place looked like from the air and became quite emotional when it was all over. Doubt either of us will ever forget it.
Well done to you sir!
