Celebrating the fun of flying!
Every pilot likes to share his experiences and show how much fun it
is to fly. I am no different. So I decided to dedicate this page to the
single engine airplanes I am flying.>
Have fun!

- Friends of Meigs Field
Meigs Field in Chicago (the "greatest little airport on the planet") is probably the best-known airport in the world, since it is the home airport of Microsoft's Flight Simulator.
Newsflash: disregarding all agreements, Chicago mayor Daley has started demolishing Meigs Field. For details, see the Friends of Meigs Field website. - SoCal Approach, A Web Resource for Aviation Enthusiasts
- What can happen if you fly into IMC. Something to contemplate, especially for VFR-only pilots
- FAA Order 7110.65L, Paragraph 5-5-3, regarding separation for wake turbulence for aircraft operating behind B757's, was partly motivated by an accident in the approach path to SNA, which killed the owner of the In-N-Out Hamburger Chain. The NTSB has the synopsis and the detailed narrative with voice recorder excerpts online.
