The Blue Ridge Mountains and the surrounding parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and West Virginia has to be some of the most beautiful country on Earth. I'm more of a desert Southwest person, but having grown up surrounded by mountains and forests, I could put up with West Virginny no...

Man, I miss those days. I should have never left.

I spent the first 22.5 years of my life in what was California. I luckily escaped just in time to miss the progressive decay of paradise. The only reason my siblings still live there is Prop 13. When the ruling mob decides to repeal that property tax freeze, they will no longer be able to stay.

While I was attending San Jose State, I was asked to fly some local flights with a group of Explorer Scouts (I think that is what they were called) and the plan was to use the local CAP Hawk XP. I volunteered for the job and gave up after experiencing the mind boggling BS involved in getting...

I will be driving, since I am planeless.

I have 12 O'clock on Saturday, 18 March at the Hard 8 in Stephenville on my calendar. For a rare change, I will be able to make it. Is anyone else coming?

I just got a notification from the FAA that IACRA has suffered a database failure and is offline until at least tomorrow. First NOTAMs and now IACRA. What's next? FSS?
