My Grandfather, Chester Vogt, began his aviation career barnstorming in a $250 war surplus Jenny and then later flying for the Gates Flying Circus.  Orville Wright signed my grandfather's license, license number 1000.  My father came along at a time my grandfather was buying surplus PT19s and Stearmans for a few hundred dollars.  My father continued the passion for flying and owned dozens of aircraft over the years.  My brother, Rick Vogt, flew for Cole Palen's Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.  My father passed recently. In his last few days, his eyes twinkled when I brought some flying magazines to his bed side.  In honor of my dad,  I'm continuing our aviation heritage.
