Happy Birthday, Baby

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The author recounts a fifty-year "love story" with a beautiful "she" whom he initially couldn't be with as she belonged to another.
  • After years of longing and a chance rediscovery, he reconnected with her following the passing of her previous owner and successfully reunited with her in 2014.
  • The beloved "she" is revealed to be a Piper Cub airplane (N70215), which the author now owns and celebrates on its 70th birthday for its enduring beauty and grace.

On May 1, she will turn 70 years old and, I am not exaggerating, she is just as beautiful today as she was on the day I first met her. That was 50 years ago, and I swear she has changed very little. Boy, do I wish I could say the same for me!
