Torben Kiese, the Chief Pilot for Twin Cities Aviation, had called with a more exciting offer. I raced across town to Anoka County Airport in time to see Torben checking the oil on a Cirrus SR-22, the bigger-engined sister of Charlie, (this plane also had the call letters CD, so we'll call her "Charlene"). I was offered a chance to fly on a cross-country mission in multiple planes, to multiple places. Hey, it's my birthday, cool!
