Shirley Tinneny the wife of Patrick Tinneny of Cassatt, South Carolina recently took her first airplane ride and over came years of fear of flying.

The photo right shows the plane taking off with Shirley seated in the rear (Photo Courtesy of Shirley).

She sure chose a rough way to be introduced to flying in that the pilot did barrel roles and dives etc.  Shirley’s reaction “I loved it!”

Patrick is the son of Richard Tinneny and his wife Lee of Philadelphia and Columbia, South Carolina and Shirley is Rich’s daughter in law.  Patrick is the great-great grandson of Yankee Pat Tinneny of Goladuff, Ireland.
