Well, well. Would you believe that old Uncle Beet used to fly from that very airfield -DuPage County (DPA) located on route 64 (North Avenue) in St. Charles, IL. I didn't do any dogfighting though! I always remember flying out to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ran into cloud for a minute, and when I popped out, there in front of me was a HUGE stretch of water. OMG! Should I have worn a life jacket?

It was, of course, the Mississippi river.
