If you read this blog much, or even if you don’t, you could probably guess that I love P-51s. While there are definitely other aircraft that tickle my fancy, there is just something special about watching a P-51 fly. I imagine there is something special about...

If I had to guess, I’d say a lot of people are familiar with Chuck Aaron and the Red Bull BO-109. His act is spectacular, but what could you do with something smaller and more mundane? I don’t know, something like a Robinson R22? If you’re curious,...

Initially I had planned to not write a post about the tragedy in Reno. I felt like there was enough noise out there from the mainstream media and other outlets. I didn’t really think there was anything that I could say that would add anything. Also, before you...

Tomorrow will be our last full day here at AirVenture 2011. It has been a great week and I’ll be sad it’s over, but I’m kinda looking forward to my own bed and seeing my wife and dog. Anyway, it stayed overcast all day on Thursday and in fact it...

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. The end result is that we are camped out next to the highway–6th...
