Last summer the nonprofit Sun 'n Fun organization got a new president. John "Lites" Leenhouts, a veteran Naval aviator, was named president of the organization. He brought a multitude of new ideas and a level of enthusiasm for the show that is positively contagious. According to a recent AvWeb report, the two big focuses this... Read more »

Aviation History Animated | Movie Monday

No Comments 13 February 2012

Before I run out of time, here's a video. It was put together by Utah Valley University and highlights some of the most important events in aviation history. As you can see at the end, it's a little promo for their programs, but it is still pretty cool. My only complaint is that there are... Read more »

Check Out This Crazy Mini Airport | Movie Monday

No Comments 23 January 2012

Did you ever have a model train set? I had a couple, but my brother and I always enjoyed trying to get the trains to fly off the tracks more than we enjoyed building. Still, I can appreciate the work that goes in to creating detailed dioramas. Sometimes people put in a little too much... Read more »

One Way In, One Way Out | Movie Monday

No Comments 07 November 2011

I don't know about you, but sometimes I wish there were some awesome back-country airstrips around here. I'd probably make a sorry bush pilot and I might fold up anything I tried to fly into those awesome back-country strips, but I can dream. Now, instead of doing productive things that might make that dream come... Read more »

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I'd made some decisions regarding this blog that I think will help me create better content. To boil those decisions down to the basics, I'm implementing an editorial calendar on the back end that will help me with creating posts and I'm instituting a couple of post themes.... Read more »

New Year’s Resolutions

Last month I got my copy of Sport Aviation, EAA's fantastic magazine, and I was inspired to write a blog entry relating to one of the articles. The article is a list of 50 potential flying resolutions for the new year. The article suggests things ranging from things like obtaining a seaplane rating or instrument... Read more »

Hello world. I’m still here.

2 Comments 23 November 2010

As you've certainly noticed, I've been rather absent for the last few weeks. It wasn't intentional, but I've used the time as a bit of a sabbatical to consider my blogging and future goals. I also went flying a couple of times. Approximately two months ago, I quit my part-time job and started freelance writing... Read more »

Why Don't the Popular Media…

1 Comment 12 October 2010

Just to follow up on the last post, I've started the process of getting back in the air. I'm going to try to fly on Friday. Anyway, yesterday I saw a post on Twitter of a news story in one of the local papers. The story was about an ultralight that clipped a fence during... Read more »

Video: A Show I’d Really Like to See

No Comments 29 September 2010

I was prowling around on Youtube and I found a very compelling demo reel for a reality TV show. It has bush flying, rustic Alaskan scenery, and best of all women pilots. It was posted in February of this year and according to the poster, they are supposed to be shooting this month. I don't... Read more »

About Me

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.
