Keep reading Newsweek or the NY Times in the morning....

Young Ruben got his early turbine time with us at Grand Canyon Airlines, Las Vegas. He's a fine aviator and a fine dude too!

Great story and great comparative photos. Even Doug can't complain about the duplication of pictures.

Awesome story! Another thing I noticed was the first picture was also taken in a 737 as well.
