I'm a flight instructor (CFI-ASEL/I) and glider pilot (PP-GLI) with about 1200 hours of flight time.
My wife and I own and fly a 1946 Commonwealth Skyranger. As time allows, I help run the Skyranger users group and edit SPARS, a newsletter for enthusiasts and owners of Rearwin and Commonwealth Skyrangers.
A few of my stories have appeared in print
Pittsburgh->Palo Alto, 2002 unedited travelogue, with pictures, of most recent across-America trip. Posted in real-time, at the end of each day of flying.
Unedited transcripts of a crosscountry flight I took ferrying the Skyranger from Seattle to Boston in 1993, as posted to rec.aviation.
Travelogue, with photos of the trip ferrying the Skyranger from California to Pittsburgh in 1998. (Sorry - never got around to writing up the Boston-California flight Devon and I took in 1995, but a bit of it is recreated in 'Westbound', above)
An aerial tour of Washington D.C. flying in to National Airport in a 172 a few years ago - those days are gone forever...
