...ward owned a 2 person plane.
I was in Utah one time and he was also there. So he offered to fly me home.
The flight from Provo to Van Nuys, all said and done, took longer than driving would have taken.
But it was fun.
The most amazing part of the experience was seeing the van nuys airport runway from what seemed like a hundred miles away. It was like half an hour or more before we landed. They shine the runway lights at the perfect angle for incoming planes to lineup correctly. It thought that was cool.
