The Sights of Lakeland 2004: Use Every Minute…

By ANN Correspondent Kevin "Hognose" O'Brien

On my last run around the S-n-F grounds, using my last minutes of the show to say goodbye for now to friends and glean any last-minute information, I got an object lesson in using every minute.

At the very end of the airshow, on the last full day, the New Kolb Aircraft Company sold their patriotic-themed Firestar demo plane. They were happy, they got a good price, and a new customer. The customer also got a good buy, in my humble opinion. (In fact, he all but stole this gorgeous machine; he got such a good deal I'm afraid to reveal the price). All at the last minute of the show.

And the customer, a very experienced pilot with many years of flying behind him, and he hopes, many years ahead, is also using every minute.

You see, he's 92 years old.
