Jean and I love the amazing pies made by Crosswind

Jean and I love the amazing pies made by Crosswinds Restaurant at the Payson, Arizona, Airport (KPAN) and occasionally fly over to collect some for ourselves and neighborhood friends.
Well just yesterday Jean was saying "we need to do something special for the great crew at Eagle Air Repair, LLC, who are always there for us when our 'Flying Carpet' needs mechanical work." So en route to Payson this morning, I suddenly thought, "I know! I'll pick up a pie for our friends at Eagle Air, and deliver it to them at Prescott (KPRC) on the way home! So I landed with a baggage compartment full of pies at Prescott, taxied up to Eagle Air's hangar and said, "Sorry to drop in announced at lunchtime, but I need help with a really big problem... can anyone eat this cherry pie?"
Here's Philip Mcquaid, Chief Inspector for Eagle Air, collecting what he correctly identified as "one of those world-famous pies from Payson Airport's Crosswinds Restaurant!" I returned home fulfilled by two hours of flying over beautiful Arizona, three halfway decent landings, and armed with a strawberry-rhubarb pie to share with Jean. What a life!
