Hump Pilots Reunion

After the war ended, the Hump Pilots began getting together each year.  I have fond memories of these.  Ever since I could remember, Daddy was always a fractional-owner of a twin engine plane we kept at the Thomasville airport.  Every summer we would load up in the plane and go to the Hump Pilots reunion.  I remember going to Arlington, Texas; Miami, Savannah, Georgia; and Monroe, Louisiana.  I was always Daddy's co-pilot and my sister and mother were in the back.   My main job as co-pilot was to watch out for other planes and let Daddy know when I saw one.  Pictured to the left is a photo from one of the reunions.  Daddy is far left on the front row.  Howard Peterson is second row, far right.
