These are fairly extreme cases. In the first case, he had no license, but didn't go to jail or get a fine until he crashed. In the second case, the pilot flew with his license suspended, busted airspace, and then told the FAA they had no jurisdiction over him. He also landed with his gear up...

They're like the drunk guy at the bar (in a lot of ways), running his mouth and threatening people. They really have very little power when it comes to enforcement. What are they going to do, take the medical you don't have? Take your license? A few years ago I shared an example of a guy...

I have a few stickers!! I had to justify a new cabinet because I ran out of room for stickers!

I grew up in an aviation family. I was always around airplanes and I know how to move around them safely. One day I was standing next to a plane at a fly-in. I barely heard a muffled "clear" and the engine started immediately. I was way too close to the prop and though I was safe, it gave...

I had fun at a local fly-in last week. A couple of tailwheel guys were busting everyone's chops about our training wheels. My buddy smiled and asked me, "How many tailwheel hours do you have, Jack?" I answered... and then they shut up! It was all in good fun and I told them I'm a tailwheel...

It makes a great photo platform too! We used it for this shoot.

Very nice!

Thanks, fixed it!

Yep!

I'm always honored to get the cover of Sport Aviation. This is the first time I ever shot out of the EAA's AirCam, Photo 2. It allowed me to get some shots I normally can't so it was a fun new experience!

Thank you!

Thank you for your service and welcome home! Not sure if you saw my post about Mid America Flight Museum. We honored some Vietnam vets who flew Hueys. Good times with some really good people.

I post using the link most of the time, but when you select the photo icon, you have two options. Link, and Drop Image.

Being in the industry, I've lost a lot of friends in airshows. As the old saying goes, "Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. but to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.” I won't speculate on what caused Chuck's...

Sorry to hear we lost Chuck Coleman in an airshow crash yesterday. I know many of you here knew him. Great guy and incredible performer.

Being based in the Austin area, I can tell you we have a constant battle with ATC. We've even had meetings with some of them, but it doesn't change anything. When I call them, they vector me for no reason, when I don't they complain. One day I was flying outside of their airspace, pretty...

I learned about stun guns from my girlfriend... she had it in her hand and I thought she was handing it to me. Turns out if you grab it to try to take it away from someone, you get quite a jolt! She also carries, so she keeps me safe! I taught a rape defense class for a few years. I think...

This Cherokee 180 stands out from the rest. Very nice paint job.

I met Kris at the Georgetown airport when they were filming a movie called the Wendell Baker Story. One day after filming, I took him flying in a Decathlon and we had a blast. As we were celebrating Huey pilots at the Mid America Flight Museum, a legendary Huey pilot passed away. He landed a...
