engine from scratch-an amazing feat in
1903-and it's doubtful the Wright Flyer
could have realized its name without his
contribution.
Russ showed me around the medical
helicopter he was servicing, including
its articulated litter door and specialized
medical equipment, and offered a tour of
his tiny airport workshop. Then, while
he finished paperwork, I explored Kingman's crowded ramp.
Among mothballed airline jets, I discovered a giant Russian Antonov AN-2
biplane and, better yet, a pair of vintage
Beechcraft Twin Bonanzas-one pristine
and the other engineless. My dad's friend
Eddie Hayes owned a Twin Bonanza
featuring three-and-three seating in its
cavernous interior; as a child I relished
riding between the two pilots in the
front bench seat. Few Twin Bonanzas
survive, but the model's beefy landing
gear evolved to serve the popular King
Air turboprop series.
Noting buildups to the east, I said
goodbye and hurried aloft. Sure enough,
my datalink-weather screen soon
populated with two huge elongated
cells spanning the midpoint of my route,
between military airspace to the south
and the Grand Canyon to the north.
Thankfully, the one gap near Seligman
remained open for 20 minutes until I
got there.
Sighing relief, I relived the morning's
pleasures while steering homeward
under clear skies. Shortly before I'd left
Kingman, an air ambulance crew had
arrived at the airport to take possession
of the helicopter.
"Remember," Russ told the pilot after
introductions, "only 14 more starts are
allowed until this baby gets a hot section.
The replacement components shipped
yesterday!" Smiling at the thought of
Russ's unflagging dedication, I patted
the Flying Carpet's glareshield.
"You know, old girl," I said, "we're not
alone up here."
