    Expanding Personal Limits

    Come on up and stay a couple of days have access to several cool airplanes to fly. In the mean time fly as much as you can. It all gets easier after a few hours. One thing I strongly suggest is to do a basic aerobatic/tailwheel course. Find a place that uses a Citabria or Decathalon not an Extra...

    Expanding Personal Limits

    He stopped by this summer. I hadn't seen him in 25 years or so. He said you had just gotten your PPL and was going to buy a Cherokee. I got him flying when he was working in Twin Falls. Fly on up this spring or summer and I can get you comfy with crosswinds. Tell him Don said hi. Don

    Air Zoo Pirep

    They haven't flown any of them for over 10 years. Too bad as they used to put the F4F, F6F and F8F up at the same time. They sold the F8F. Don

    Rant: Is Dentistry Going Backwards?

    If its a molar tell him you want it re done in full gold or porcelain fused to gold if it is an anterior. It also might be the prep design. If you want, have him send me the impression and I'll make you a perfect one. Don

    Rant: Is Dentistry Going Backwards?

    Dentistry has become all about marketing. When I first started attending Dental Conventions in the early 70's most of the programs were geared to continuing education and a small percentage to practice management.

    Rant: Is Dentistry Going Backwards?

    Which aircraft has the noisiest cockpit?

    My friend says his Formula One racer is the loudest cockpit he has been in. At full race power he can't hear and it drowns out the mike if he want's to transmit. He has a state of the art helmet with earbuds. Don
