Captain Willis "Sonny" Logan started his flying career in 1939 by polishing "Tex" Rankin's Ryan ST for four hours to get a 15-minute ride in Amarillo, Texas. By making straight As in school he earned a 30-minute ride in a Ford Tri-motor. He earned a glider pilot's rating before he had a driver's license. In order to build flying time, Sonny flew everything he could in West Texas including "Boot Legging" and crop dusting.
