“A man will search his heart and soul
Go searchin’ way out there
His peace of mind he knows he’ll find
But where, oh Lord, Lord where?
Ride away, ride away, ride away.”

Back in Merritt Island, I was greeted by an old friend: this Piper Colt. It belongs to my flight instructor’s brother, and I had the pleasure of flying it about 5 years ago.

I often talk about my heroes being pilots, but another hero of mine had a great influence on me: my grandpa, Bobby Shuler. He loved cars, playing baseball (almost went pro), Dr. Pepper, and his family (and not in that order). Every Thanksgiving, he and I would bond over stories he would tell, most of which were highly entertaining and hardly true. We lost Bobby a year ago at the ripe old age of 77. He is sorely missed.

Me and Al Crews in the USAF Missile History Center for the Atlas V launch.
I see this guy there every time we assemble or launch and I recognize the name I just can’t place who he was…
He was supposed to fly the X-20, then MOL. After MOL was cancelled he became a pilot for NASA (by then he was too old to be an astronaut). He retired about 10 years ago, but he still has a Beech Sierra.
