Manager of Fun!

My new title at the Cider Mill is "Manager of Fun" and it sure is! One of my first jobs was to get an aerial photo of the Vampire of the Corn Maze. It was a blast, I went up with Gene Linder in his tiny plane. He took me on a roller coaster ride. He almost did a complete loop de loop! We saw some deer in the field below and he swooped down only about a couple hundred feet over their heads, they were a little stunned. He took the door off of the plane which added to the thrill. It was so fun!

Gene is an awesome guy, he has 3 planes, 2 from World War II! Amazing. One of his planes is a medical rescue plane from WWII. It is 1 of only 4 like it that are still around. He rebuilt it from parts and pieces he found all of the country.

Looking down on the Cider Mill, Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch--you can see how huge it is! About 8 acres.
After some touching up this is the image we'll use for the corn maze website

The WWII rescue plane that Gene rebuilt
This is where the patient would be strapped down

Gene's other WWII plane, such a cool piece of history
We've been having some nice early morning thunderstorms, I love it. The corn is getting tall! Keep the rain coming!
