Warbirds in the Afternoon Make Everything Better | Warbird Wednesday
It's been almost a month since OSH11, and I'm almost recovered. I've processed my photos down to a workable 700, all the gear is put away, and I've mowed the yard (twice). Actually, I've done a lot more than that, but you get the idea. The trouble is, I miss eating lunch to the tune... Read more »

Airventure Day 1
We arrived about 8pm last night. There was still enough light that we were able to find a camp site. Unfortunately, between Saturday and our arrival all spots close to the field apparently filled.

Hello, my name is Matt Everett and as of 1/1/2010 I am a private pilot ASEL. I started this blog early in my training and used it primarily as a place to keep notes of my lessons. Since then it has grown to much more than that, but my main focus is still on aviation experiences.
