Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Helicopter Ride in Hawaii (January 2012)

I took mom and dad on a charter flight for their anniversary last week. It was their first time in a small Cessna but not their first time in the air as I also took them on a helicopter ride during a family trip to Hawaii in 2012 (though given the company we used had […]
