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...

It’s that time of year, where I take a look back and decide what worked and what didn’t and I usually set some goals. This year isn’t going to be any different, but I’ve decided some changes are in order. On the whole, 2011 was an off-year. I...

I know it’s been a while since I last posted since I took a bit of a winter break for the holidays. I did a lot of strategic thinking, which I will discuss in another post. For now, I want to share the first Movie Monday post of the new year. This video, which...

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...

Today’s post is more of a public service announcement than anything. It isn’t flight instruction, especially since I’m not yet qualified, but I want every pilot to learn from it. While perusing YouTube recently, I saw the video above in the side bar....

If you’re a fan of warbirds and you’re (presumably) not a fan of littering, have I got a treat for you. It’s a long lost (I’m basing this on some of the comments) commercial from Texas. It was born out of a partnership with the State of Texas...

If bush flying is your thing, I’ve discovered a little known movie from Canada that may interest you. I found it on Netflix in the streaming selections (believe it or not). The film, called the Snow Walker, features Barry Pepper as a bush pilot based in Yellow...
