The Villages - April 2018 - 17

Bob's sons Keith and Scott followed in their father's
flight path, flying as teens.
"My instructor's son ended up teaching them 25
years later," he said. Both became Air Force pilots and
now fly for major airlines.
"I started something," Bob said. "But I think flying
must be in our bloodline."
There are 12 flying Fristers to date - including
Bob's brothers, sons, nephews, niece, sister-in-law
and granddaughter Mallory, a private pilot currently
studying at Baylor College and planning a future in
aviation.
In 2012, after 44 years of flying, Bob landed in The
Villages with his wife, Barbara.
"We were looking for retirement outside of New
Jersey," he said. "We like the leisure of the golf-cart
lifestyle."
Friends and family are a short flight away, and Bob
and Barbara are happy to host gatherings.
"When we all get together, we talk aviation," Bob
said. "I've been to places no one else has been able to
go - because of the airlines."
As for his flying heritage, Bob is extremely
proud to be among so many passionate pilots.
And, of course, he has high hopes for the future of
flying Fristers.

Bob's flying family includes 12 passionate pilots - brothers,
sons, nephews, niece, sister-in-law and granddaughter.
