Gordon and Cooper, co-owners of a two-passenger Cessna based at the Wyoming Valley Airport, have logged a combined 1,500 hours in the air. but this is their first time in the race. Dennis Cooper came along to act as engineer. He and his father took flying lessons together at Sky Haven airport in Tunkhannock when Dennis was 15, buthe hasn't yet earned his pilot's license. “I'm all psyched for it,” he grinned. Always interested in flying, Gordon started lessons several years ago after driving past the Wyoming Valley airport and stop- ping in to see what was involved in getting a pilot's license. “There are two things that I've always wantedsto do - fly a plane and play the guitar,” he said. “All I need now is the guitar.” Gordon said two days were devoted to waxing the plane to help reduce the friction of the wind and give them more speed. The men said that they felt confident and weren't nervous at all. “I feel better, now that Dennis is coming along,” Cooper said. “We're going for a good time — an island-hopping adventure through the Caribbean,” Gordon joked. The pair said that since they didn't have any sponsors, they paid the trip's entire cost them- selves. “It costs a bit,” Gordon said, refusing to elaborate.
