I got a group digest email from Linkedin today and one of the discussions was regarding an “Interesting airpark home.” I don’t usually follow links, because they aren’t usually worth looking at, but in this case I’m so glad I made the...

Recently I’ve been thinking about this blog and its future. I really enjoy having an outlet for my writing and I’m pleased with what the blog has been, but I would like to take it to the next level. I just thought I would talk about it a little, to avoid...

I work at an airport that is located in Class C airspace. It has a fairly sizable set regional air carriers that fly daily as well as a decently sized general aviation population and a cargo ramp for UPS and FedEx. Due to the very diverse nature of flying that goes on...

I don’t know if you’ve seen this or not, but it is pretty awesome. It has been making the rounds of the aviation community for a little bit now and I thought I might post it up here. There’s a group called St Clair Photo Imaging that has done a 360...

Recent events have gotten me thinking, and I’ve got to say I’m a little put out with this whole Presidential visit TFR thing. Especially since I receive a notice in my email inbox nearly every week. The problem, and source of my complaint, the notices...

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...
