Our friend in the ward, John Reynolds took this pic of the total solar eclipse on Monday. My dad flew his plane up to Idaho to see the total eclipse. In Ogden we had a 94% eclipse, which was still pretty cool. We had a little party at the pool.
Well..he did it! Dad has been rebuilding a plane for over a year. At first I wondered if those plane parts would ever become a plane. I also wondered if was just to get the airport off of his back for use of his hangar and storing all of his toys. You've got to admit, he did really well with this plane! It's pretty inspiring what he did.
A couple of weeks ago he took it up for its first flight. At the same time that he took the plane up another plane went down and crashed by the airport on I15 killing all 4 on board. When Jenn heard the news she called me really upset thinking before that it was my dad. Turns out that it was two couples from around here. The owner of AIS.
