Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Grand Canyon tips anyone?

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

I was sitting in the right seat and asummed the guy in the left at the 
controls was the 'pilot' :-)
It was better than any rollercoaster ride I had benn on - remember that was 
1968 - rollercosters have come a long way since then. That was when I was a 
machinest in L.A. It would take a few years b4 I took up flaying and 
aerobatics.
