The Flying Grandpa

Mike befriends Henry Newton, who flies a Curtis Pusher at airshows under the name ""The Flying Grandpa,"" when his aircraft breaks down in the Holden pasture. His long involved tall tales of bravery during air feats impress the boy, but bother Garth, who thinks Newton's lies might backfire. And when a bear charges Newton and Mike, the elderly man finds out they do.
