How he lost his pig down a sink hole and was able to retrieve it is part of history.Many of the stories of Mitchell were written by Jack Colglazier.My life as an airplane pilot brings history to the modern day. I was able to fl y my plane from the Pacific to the Atlantic, from Alaska to Florida and many places in between. My experience of racing airplanes is unique and very different from the normal way of life. 3
