Gustav’s Hot Shot – Niagara Falls Aerial

During the recent early spell of summer around the first week in April, I grabbed the opportunity to spend a couple of days with my cousin Harry in Buffalo. My friendship with Harry goes back to the summers of the 1960′s and early 70′s when he and I would hunt and fish and ride dirt bikes on my uncle’s farm in the Allegany Mountains of western New York.

Harry earned his pilot’s license shortly after returning safely from Vietnam where he spent two tours of duty as a helicopter gunner. He’s an avid and skilled pilot and owns a small Cherokee single engine plane. He frequently flies into the municipal airport here in Newport, Vermont and I’ll go and pick him up and we’ll pal around like we used to, going out in my canoe for the day and target shooting in the meadow behind my house.
