THANK YOU for doing this interview with Cassidy. My dad and I met her at Heritage Flight Museum. We hit ever fly day they do. She has been an absolute delight to know. She has piqued my interest in the planes of all shapes and sizes. It is exciting to see them. GREAT interview. I will share this absolutely wonderful interview with my dad when next I see him.
