I missed posting an update yesterday, because I spent quite a while at AirPigz's Camp Bacon meeting a bunch of people from Twitter and eating bacon. I had a really great time and I put some faces with names. If you'd like to see some absolutely stunning images, you should check out the latest post... Read more »

A Little Tour of the Sun ‘n Fun Warbird Ramp | Warbird Wednesday
The guys at Sun 'n Fun haven't stopped. In fact I think they've put out more great pictures and videos after the fact than they did during the actual fly-in. They've also put out quite a few great albums on their facebook page. Be sure to check out the Osceola County Camera Club album. Here... Read more »

Bad News from Sun ‘n Fun 2011
I'd like to start out by saying that I hope everything works out as best it can for everyone that is actually at Sun 'n Fun. From what I understand, some severe storms and potentially a tornado tore through the airport there earlier today. According to the event staff, no major injuries were reported and,... Read more »

Reflections on my First Airventure
This past weekend was quite a ride. My dad and I drove 13 hours to Oshkosh, WI for Airventure 2010. It was quite an experience. We arrived just after sunset, which made finding a suitable campsite difficult to say the least. The rain earlier in the week caused quite a bit of trouble with parking... Read more »

Video: Hook Down, Wheels Down
Something that has always intrigued me is the aircraft carrier. This idea that there are floating airports, potentially out in the middle of nowhere, just really gets me going. What's even more crazy, is that the aviators manage to find these small boats and land on them. I recently came across a movie on Archive.org... Read more »

I don't want you to think I'm turning this into some kind of Youtube aggregator, but after reading about this aircraft on AvWeb and hearing about it on Uncontrolled Airspace (I think), I just have to post this. It's the Woopy-Fly. The page is in French, so be warned that unless you read French you might not know... Read more »

Valdez Fly-in
For some reason I have this love affair with bush flying. Aerobatics are nice, and I certainly look forward to trying them out, but I find no more perfect an example of aviation than a Super Cub alone in the wilds. There's just something about it that really gets me going. As a natural extension... Read more »

A few months ago, I saw a link on twitter to the following video: I recently remembered this and thought I might post it here and offer some analysis of the overall situation. The biggest talking point I've come up with is "Attitude is everything." I mean that in two ways: attitude of the pilot... Read more »

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.
