The Big Day Approaches

Some of you might remember this! Yes, Parkwest pilot Bill Bernard, in addition to celebrating 50 years of flying, asked the girl of his dreams to marry him on a Parkwest tour back in 2012. We have enjoyed so many flying adventures with Bill in his self-built Tailwind and, in the latter years, Bill and Mary in the Cutlass.

Bill tells me that May 8 will be the big day, and we couldn't be happier for them both! (Though, I hope by now he's replaced Mary's duct tape engagement ring!)

For clarity purposes, this was a re-enactment photo.  He didn't actually propose in front of a camera-wielding tour guide!  He's got more class than that, duct tape engagement ring notwithstanding.
