America is the land of opportunity everyone dreams it is. Since the beginning of my family, I have been here. My family has seen it all. Allow me to tell you a story about my Grandfather. He spent nearly every day of his childhood at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. In 1946, when he was twelve, he was offered a great opportunity. Two planes of the United States Army Air Corp had recently returned from Europe, one North American P-51D Mustang, and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra. He was offered those two planes free of charge, and of course because he's twelve his mother said "No." Anyway, that P-51D went on to be the famous air racer known as "Galloping Ghost" that in 2011 crashed into a crowd and killed eleven spectators.
