You couldn’t have asked for a better day to go for a plane ride.

After winning the ticket for a plane ride at the Huletts Landing Property Owners Civic Association’s golf course fundraiser on the July 4th weekend, Sunday was the day for Marie Portela and her daughter, Pat, to go on the actual ride.

The Huletts Casino donated the fun excursion and Neal Vandorsten, a licensed pilot, met Marie and Pat at the Glens Falls airport and took the two happy participants on the ride.

“It was a perfect day and we got some great views in of Lake George,” said pilot, Neal Vandorsten.
