Night ILS Down to Minimums!
I don’t know if words can express my feelings right now but I feel like I need to capture them the best way that I can. Today was a beautiful day and the weather forecast was perfect for flying. A friend of mine – Jeff P. – who I used to fly with here in [...]
2011 Aviation Update

Walt Disney World – June 2011
For our 2011 Family Vacation we decided to go to Walt Disney World in Florida again. Surprisingly it has been almost 3 years since we went in September of 2008. Hannah is now 7 and Bryan is 5 so we thought that they would really enjoy it at this age. Lori and I really had [...]

I’m an Instrument Rated Pilot!
When I purchased N2893Z I was given a stipulation from my wife Lori. She said that she wanted to use the plane to go places and that if I didn’t have my instrument rating within one year that I would have to sell the plane. She also said that she would support the training and [...]
Started my IFR training!
It has been something that I have wanted to do for quite sometime, but I have finally gotten serious about my IFR flight training. I had plans to start earlier in the year after I had some new panel lights installed in N9526J but that had to be put on hold for awhile after the [...]

The pilot was flying N41568 which is a plane Jeff used to rent as well. The pilot amazingly was not injured. A Cessna Skymaster was also damaged that was [...]
