Flint, Conny, and I followed Sherri and Frank out of the hangar and around the side of the building, keeping an eye on the soldiers halfway down the airstrip. They were all on the opposite side of the four trucks and didn’t look in our direction as we ran to the next building.

Sherri led us through a side door and into the large hangar. Two planes were parked inside, both with their noses pointed toward the hangar door.

“It’s the 207,” said Sherri, hurrying to the larger of the two planes.

Cessna 207 Sky Wagon was printed on the tail. A broad red strip ran down the length of the plane. Five small windows lined each side, and the cabin looked slightly bigger than what I was used to seeing on a private plane.

“Will that hold all of us?” Flint asked as Sherri opened the door and kicked aside the wheel-blocks.

“We ripped out a couple seats to make more room for our dogs,” Frank said, “but she’s still big enough.”

Sherri climbed in first and moved to the front. Frank went next, dropping into the co-pilot’s chair.

The passenger portion of the plane had two rows of two seats, and a fifth seat in the back. Conny took the back as Flint and I sat in the front row.

Sherri and Frank put on their headsets. She offered him her hand and he kissed her wedding band, then she flipped a switch with that hand and the propeller started to spin. The engine noise roared loudly in the metal hangar.

“Paul, the door,” Flint said.

I leaned out and grabbed the handle, then slammed the door shut as the plane rolled forward.

“How do we get out?!” I shouted over the engine noise, pointing at the closed hangar door.

Sherri grinned and pushed a button on a small device clipped to the ceiling. The door rolled up slowly.

“Pretty slick,” Flint said.

I turned around to the back. “You okay?” I asked Conny.

She nodded and slouched down in her seat. As we left the hangar and rolled out onto the runway, I found myself slouching as well, peering out through the window at the military trucks down the runway.

The soldiers were small from that distance, but I could see one of them waving his arms as he ran around the trucks, heading in our direction. Soon his buddies were swarming behind him, and I was fairly certain I could see a large tube-like weapon on one of their shoulders.

“I hope your friend Jack is as good as his word!” Flint shouted.

Sherri gave a thumbs-up and gripped the steering column. The Cessna swung wide and rolled down the runway, picking up speed as it headed toward the trucks.

“Do you have enough room?” I yelled.

Another thumbs-up from Sherri. Frank grinned.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked loudly.

“Our daughter lives in Sacramento,” said Sherri.

I expected her to say more, but that was it. I guess that was all there needed to be. Sacramento was near San Francisco. Maybe Frank and Sherri were just looking for that extra push to get their plane in the air.
