My photo pilot and I headed North to Lubbock, TX to meet up with a couple of the Fat Tire Cowboys. We shot a Cessna 185 and a Piper Super Cub. As always, great times!

And the magazine is out. I sure love these editors!

RV-6 is a great plane. I've never built one, but flown quite a few. When buying one, find a builder to go with you and look it over. We have some guys in our area that have built several and know what to look for. Especially on the RV-4 & RV-6, there was no quick-build kit, so they took more...

Has anyone seen the rule that says camping isn't allowed? I see some vague wording about campgrounds, but I think that is more of a travel trailer type of thing, not a guy camping under his wing.

Fake news. We all know the pilot of the CRJ wasn't using enough right rudder. The real story will come out.

Both of my daughters know how to change a tire. They both have guns and know how to use them. They both know if anyone stops to help them on the side of the road to take a photo of the car and license plate and send it to me, while telling the person they don't need help. Too many people are...

I know some people just want new airplanes, but this is what I've been telling people who ask if MOSAIC will help the Light Sport industry. My answer is no, I think it puts the final nail in their coffin. My friend works for a company that was designing an all-metal, two-place, folding wing...

The magazine is out!

EAA did make changes this year based on that crash. They made a nice approach area where no planes can park, and people aren't allowed to be in this area. They also set up a tower to enforce this. They have someone sitting in the tower and if you violate the rules, you get one warning, and...

On my Cessna 140, I remember my tires always looked low when inflated to the recommended pressure. I was told not to add air because the factory calculated how much load goes into the landing gear when you land. On the other hand, I had to add a little air to my 182 tires so that I could push...

What a morning! I woke up and it was IFR. I had to wait for it to lift to take off and head North for a photo shoot. When I got there, it was cloudy, but plenty of big holes, so we made the decision to get on top. It was a great call. So beautiful up there! You've got to love that morning sun.

They almost got away with it!

It's way over 400 if you count all airports!

Texas has over 300 public airports. Nope, not going to attempt this!

I just thought about my Cessna 140. It was N90098. I did not say "Niner Double Zero Niner Eight" but maybe that would have helped! One ATC guy always had trouble repeating it back correctly. "Niner Zero Niner Zero Eight" "Niner Niner Zero Niner Eight". Finally one day I told him it was...

I grew up flying in a 172 that was N19998. No, we didn't say "One Niner Niner Niner Eight", we said "One Triple Niner Eight". We flew into Amarillo so often the tower would say, "welcome back Triple Niner Eight". I have a lot of fond memories in that plane. Unfortunately a dumbass took off...

We had a local pilot land on an un-opened stretch of highway. I got to the scene with a mechanic and some fuel and we made it very clear to the police that we were only adding fuel because the mechanic was going to fly the plane further than the original destination to get the plane to his...

Thank you all! Yes, it sounded amazing, looked amazing, and was just... well, amazing! I'm blessed to be allowed to participate in these shoots. I love airplanes, but these airplanes are next level.

Good to see you too! Sorry I interrupted you when you were giving a tour!
