amateur gathering. “And we’ve not yet reached the formal show!” Bruce said. In the coming hours we ogled futuristic concept cars; classic Bugattis, Ferraris, and Jaguars; and their exotic modern descendents. In the courtyard, Stirling Moss signed autographs next to the OSCA racecar in which he won Sebring in 1954. “Here’s my next car!” raved Jean over a curvaceous best-of-show 1955 Jaguar XKD racer owned by Ralph Lauren. Liz fed her own passion petting show horses in La Mesita’s luxurious stables. “Greg! Jean!” What a surprise, running into fellow pilot and auto enthusiast Jon Van Arsdel. I’d first met Jon back in 1988, when he worked as a specialist in the rundown trailer that housed the Las Vegas, New Mexico, Flight Service Station. “Remember, Jon? The weather turned sour along our route to Phoenix, a rare enough occurrence that I wasn’t carrying instrument charts.” “Sure do, Greg. I photocopied approach plates so you and your family could get home.” For years afterward I radioed Jon “hello” when overflying the area. “Can you stay for dinner?” offered Bruce as we drove back to Santa Fe. “I know just the place....” But Jean had early morning obligations the next day, and I wanted to be well toward home before darkness fell. While the route is relatively flat with airports and I-40 offering comfort along the way, there’d be no moon tonight. After takeoff I waggled our wings to Bruce and Liz, who waved back from outside the terminal. “What a great day!” said Jean, clutching my hand. “We must visit Bruce more often,” I replied, squeezing back. Adjusting our seats for comfort and our visors against the setting sun, we settled in to savor the dusk-charmed landscape lining our long journey home.
