I have to say that when I was a kid, my parents gave me two extremely important things. The first thing was an active imagination. I would sit and play with LEGOs for hours on end. I was recently able to introduce Wendy to the thrill, and it was a lot of fun. The second thing was knowledge. One year, my mother bought for me the Time Life: Epic of Flight. Over 20 volumes of the history of flight, complete with some of the nicest illustrations I had ever seen. A new one would arrive each month in the mail, and it seemed like an endless wait for the next one. For some reason this memory popped into my head last week, and I went to the repository of forgotten items...eBay. I found a nice man who sold me the entire collection for $14. They arrived today, and I can’t wait to set about re-reading them!

As a side note, I realized about 20 minutes after I paid for them that my mom might still have my old collection in storage 😳🤣

RIP Captain Al Haynes. You were an absolute hero and savior to many. Blue skies and tailwinds Captain.

If you don't know who Captain Haynes is, do yourself a favor and read about the incredible story of United Flight 232:

On July 19, 1989, one of the most dramatic events in aviation unfolded in the skies over Iowa as heroic pilots battled to land a crippled DC-10.

On a journey to set a new Guinness world record, pilot Dan Moore from East Tennessee plans to visit over 100 airports from his fixed-wing aircraft during a 24-hour period.

The debate rages on! ForeFlight or Garmin? Which is better and why?

Frequently I get asked about whether or not I use ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot. I actually use both since I'm an early Foreflight adopter and I received subscriptions for Garmin Pilot after various avionics installs. Each has things I like, but neither is the absolute perfect solution for me. Just depends on what I want to see on my iPad for a particular trip.

It takes a lot to get me out of bed in the morning, but the opportunity to see a brand new Pilatus PC-24 jet aircraft did it today! The aircraft was beautiful and similar to its turboprop powered brother. Looking it over, it was very apparent that the Swiss learned quite a bit from the PC-12 program, and I look for this aircraft to be just as successful.

Many of life’s best opportunities are a result of hard work and determination.  Some are truly a matter of just being in the right place at the right time.

All of our State’s aircraft follow a similar registration numbering scheme. Do you get it??
