Flight Tales

"Hangar flying" is a wonderful thing, a source of education and entertainment.  Below are some of my tales from the logbook.  Disclaimer: an attention span longer than the average web surfer's may be required for these longer entries.

"Mishaps at Muskegon"
July 20, 2002

"Like Wearing an Elephant as a Hat"
June 22, 2003

Ever wonder what a private pilot check ride is like? Pulling g's in a T-28 Trojan.  I was just along for the ride on this one, but it was quite a ride.
