Part 4 the last part of a story I wrote about a friend of mine who was a real nice person that I felt I should share with my fb friends because its almost Christmas again and the story is about a day flying with Gerard Kennedy on Christmas Eve , based on the truth, and the last story Im posting this year.may all my face book friends have a very merry Christmas. At the last second it seemed like to me Gerard hauls back on the controls and we were airborne again pushing our way skyward against the enormous push of gravity as we slowly made our way across the vaporized salty waters of the cold North Atlantic to Fox Harbour only eight miles to the northeast of us, Gerard says this is a hard old place to be landing in the nighttime Benny,the east end of the runway has a high hill next to it and the west side has a high tower not far away from it, its places like this that you have to work for your money at this racket, Gerard says,but we landed without much difficulty as we make our way along the coastline towards our home in goose bay, things were pretty uneventful the rest of the way as the moon rose high in the sky, and as I looked down at the Labrador landscape all I could see was a shimmering white as the moons light reflected of the snow,as we climbed out of Paradise River for Goose Bay. Captain Gerard looks at me and says Marlene has the kids in bed by now Id say,its going for ten oclock I feels kinda bad that Marlene has to do all the Christmas decorating and wrapping by herself and cutting hair for people at the same time so the kids can enjoy Christmas the way they want ,Im supposed to be off today you know,but thats the way it is in this racket Benny boy, I dont spend enough time with the kids theyll be grown up before you knows it , Marlene is always at me about always working on my days off but its hard to say no he says and as we lands in Goose Bay the great Captain Gerard Kennedy looks at me and says, by the way Benny,you did a great job today go home and enjoy Christmas with your girlfriend Sheila, you got a wonderful woman there and as I drives home that Christmas Eve night to my wonderful lady, I says to myself, I wish I could fly with Gerard everyday.
