DC-3 Flight: Answering a special request from ATC

Just before we took off from Billings we got a request from the tower. It seems he needed us to overfly a kid (his son?) who was building a DC-3 model. I hope we were able to provide some 'inspiration' for him to get to work on the airplane! Here's a video of the conversation we had with ATC and our subsequent vector over his house. We shot this with the built in tiny cameras that were on loan for this flight. I'll try to look up the phone number to Billings tower and provide them with a link to this clip. I'm sure they'd get a kick out of it. More about our trip at www.dc3transcon.com

In 1986 while flying an Falcon 10 in route to FFZ (Mesa Az.) I was contacted by Falcon tower and asked if I could participate in their flight demonstration show that day. They requested a flyby (gear up). I complied and was met by the FAA safety officer and yelled at for an excessive noise violation. They finally cleared things up and I left wishing I had a Military Power detente to push past. You guys did good that day, I hope you weren't bitched out by some REMF. BZ..
