Club member, Glenn Bishell, sent in these pictures and a few words, so I could share them with everybody. It’s very heartwarming to see a positive role model, like Glenn, inspiring a young mind to dream and aspire to become a pilot one day. It ain’t easy being a kid these days, in a confusing world. Giving a young person a positive goal puts them on the right path early. Way to be a great influence and example Glenn. That is so special and reflects positively on all of us in the aviation community.

Glenn said “This is my 3 year old friend Jacob Efford. We met this young guy’s grandparents in Arizona and discovered that their daughter lived in Calgary. We made contact with her and invited her and her son to our fly-in breakfast. He attended the fly-in with his mother. He was so enthused with airplanes and paid special attention to the 164. Upon returning home he insisted that he should fly in “that” airplane and that his mother should bring him back so he could ride in it.

He sat up and observed every move. He was so proud. After the flight he jumped in the pilot seat and took over the controls, exlplaining what each thing did. He couldn’t keep his hands off and wanted to fly. Little Jacob Efford was on his way to becoming a top notch pilot.

Today Jacob is now 15, and is moving back to Calgary this summer and wants to come for a visit so he might get to ride in the Bish Caddy again, since restoration is going well.”
