Our Son The Captain
Well our son John just informed my wife and I that he will be flying for Colgan Air as a Captain effective 9/24. He will still be based out of LaGuardia. What great news this is for our son who is only 24 years old and our entire family. Mariana and I are so proud of him we just had to share this great news with the Corvette community and our fellow Corvette racers.
Right now Mariana and I are walking on air

Congratulations to your son. That is a giant step in an aviation career. I hope he now will move up to bigger equipment and longer trips.
