For years she has served as an inspiration. She’s the wrong color, blue would be my choice, but she cleans up well and I guess you might call her handsome. She sits outside on the ramp waiting for my visits. We have had many a conversation regarding her sister that resides in the nice warm and dry hangar near by. She’s not jealous however because she is just as loved as her sibling and she can do something that the other girl can’t do just yet. She can fly!
For years I have watched a group of dedicated people attend to her. Fog, rain, freezing temperatures, fierce Santa Ana winds, nothing keeps them from their task. When I get frustrated working on the PBJ all I have to do is look outside and see those guys working on Sweet and it helps to put things into perspective.
After several months of work she flew to Madera yesterday for an air show. I was lucky enough to see it.
To John, Dana, Rick, Dave and all the rest. Good Job! Someday if it is meant to be, you will see a very large blue Polish Blueprint closing on your wingtip.
