July 11, 20
States’ Independence Day, did y,
you have anything extra special
going on? Anyone who watches
the clear blue skies and sees that
red & white bi-plane float lazily
along, dipping, diving and rising
along the landscape, wishes for
a ride in that amazing aircraft.
For her 93rd birthday present,
Dora Radakovich finally got that
wish. Pilot Joe Etchart took Dora
on a grand tour from the Glasgow
Airport to get a breathtaking bird’s
eye view of Fort Peck Reservoir,
the spillway, the confluence of
the Milk and Missouri rivers and
everything in between in Joe’s
vintage Great Lakes bi-plane.
She is only the third person aged
90 or older to load up in this
magnificent bird (the very same
model that Tex Rankin won the
World Aerobatic Championships
in 1935 at the National Air Races
in Cleveland, Ohio), the other
two being the late Vic Wokal and
Joe’s uncle, Mitch Etchart, who
have both had several decades
of practice maneuvering up and
into the plane. “She jumped in
just like she was in high school,”
Joe observed of Dora. To date,
over 600 rides have been given
since 1985 when the Etcharts
acquired the plane. So, whoever
got to see the Great Lakes bi-
plane along with a friendly wave
out the side on the 4th of July,
that was Joe and Dora!
