It was in perfect shape and ready to fly again.. Sometimes the word coincidence just doesn&#8217;t seem adequate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0307\/Sep03031.jpg\" \/><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After that hike, we had a quick bite and my folks packed up and headed back to <st1:city><st1:place>Boston<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.
