So what of the track select results for the better half of Randalf? On Thursday night, Andrew with nervous anticipation and much trepidation leading up to the evening - finally received the Air Forces' blessing - and will be flying the T-1, a friend, an instructor, and a coffee-maker for the next couple of months.
He was pretty excited.
Soon it was Matty's turn to fly the T-6. With a little baby-aero instruction and cockpit orientation - we strapped a jet to the kid and he took off.
He did good.Saturday afternoon we left for a better part of Oklahoma: the salt flats, for some crystal extraction. With lightening looming not far away - Andrew ensured expeditious crystal scavenging.
Always the gentleman, Andrew assisted Keri back to the car - across the slippery mainstreet.
With a little help, Matty eventually tore open the earth in the right spot, reached into the red clay and removed his prize: a selenium crystal.
Later, for dinner we ventured further west to Waynoka - a remote cluster of houses and roads resembling a small town - that happened to have a German restaurant with an utter disregard for beer laws in Oklahoma.
Always the gentleman, Andrew assisted Keri back to the car - across the slippery mainstreet.Matty is now currently up in the air - on his way back to New York, the future, and his membranes - I can't wait to see him in another 6-12 months from now.
