Cessna N49060 at The Aviation Weblog
I just had to show you the plane I did my solo in back in August of 2003, a 1966 (I think it is anyway) Cessna 152. It's one of the two trainers sitting on the flight line at my FBO Southernaire. It's not much to look at, but it helped me achieve a lifelong dream. [...] Read More
Time to Kick It Up a Notch! at The Aviation Weblog

The inference was that a pilot would prefer driving a car with in-flight responses and the car owner appreciated the joy of flight. Heck, I did the same thing in the late 1990's when, as [...] Read More
Woman Hikes the Appalachian Trail Solo at The Outdoor Weblog
Hiking the 2,164-mile Appalachian Trail is no small feat. But, for Leslie Mass it was something she always wanted to do. So, for two years, the recently retired early childhood director trained and conditioned her body for the long hike. Finally, after months of challenges and set-backs, she accomplished her goal. But, that's not what makes Mass' story unique. Hundreds of people hike the Appalachian Trail every year. What makes it [...] Read More
