Casy and Debbie returned home this morning. They were able to make it out of Hooks just moments before the showers hit. (I made it about half a block when the rain started splattering my windshield.)
This is a picture of Casy, Craig (their pilot) and Debbie. Craig is part of the Pilots for Patients program out of Monroe, LA. An amazingly generous group of people who have made it possible for over 100 patient transports since March of this year! Incredible!
Their 'time' machine...turning an eight hour drive into a less than two hour flight!
Casy getting strapped in for the ride.
Craig going over his final checklist.
Checking the flaps.
Look at this tiny tower. And in the close up...I did not see a single soul in there. Doug? John? Is this what work is like at your towers? Nice job! Where do I apply?
(Just kidding :-)
Thanks so much to the pilots who volunteer their time and resources for those patients in need of transportation to and from their doctor's appointments.

Hooks has long been considered one of the "Holy Grail" type ATC facilities. The airport is not too terribly busy, but it certainly has its moments. Houston is a VERY reasonably price place to live, plus it has a nearly 30% locality pay adjustment.
Actually, it would be my dream to eventually wind up as the manager of that facility!
I always did like Hooks Art and I have such fond memorys there. Very good location, nice place and you meet good people there.
