Tennis Lessons Are Very Important to Some People

By Spencer Hall
Tennis lessons in Illinois must be crazily expensive. Robert Kadera, rather than have his son show up a few minutes late for his tennis lessons, opted to take his 14-year-old to his lessons at the Lincolnshire Club in his 1949 Piper Clipper airplane. And, since the Lincolnshire was so inconsiderate as to not have a landing strip for its paying customers, he landed the plane on the golf course just across the road.

That is actually Mr. Kadera, not just some dude with a plane.
Mr. Impatient Pants got in trouble for this, which no one except everyone else in the universe could have predicted.
[quote="CBS News"]Kadera told WBBM Newsradio 780 he was thinking that flying to Lincolnshire would be “a convenient way to get (Isaac) down there and get him to his tennis on time.”
Isaac is the youngest of 10 children, and Kadera said the house was hectic Saturday and time slipped by, so they figured driving to tennis in Lincolnshire from Lake Villa would have taken too long.[/quote]
Decaf, Mr. Kadera. Decaf, if only for the few remaining shreds of your son’s dignity. Make the switch.
The plane was impounded by police due to a fuel leak discovered after the landing, and an investigation is pending, but let’s not forget the real lesson of all of this: sports dads this eager are creepy, and this is not normal. You might see this as weird news, but someone else is reading this and thinking: Could I get my kids to golf lessons in a zeppelin? Would that be faster than the minivan?
