New Freedom, Pennsylvania

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:  A pilot, no doubt. Perhaps one who took the lyrics to heart: "I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky." And, as if to emphasize the point, the propeller is in everlasting motion. Freed from its earthly shackles, his spirit now soars. New Freedom Cemetery. [2013]

  1. The plane is a Cessna 172. "First flown in 1955 and still in production, more Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft."

    To know why the Cessna appears on the marker see:
