Here's a place to let everybody else know what kind of flying you do or what you'd like to do in the future. I soloed 32 years ago in a glider at Sugarbush, Vermont, competed for a while until I soloed power (in an L3...my instructor was Bonnie Tiburzi), got my private in a C170 and most of my commercial in a Navion. Most of this was in the backyard strip my folks had. After school, I got all my ratings and started teaching in Vermont, moved into charter (Aztec/Baron/Navajo) then the local regional (Brockway/Piedmont Commuter flying SAAB 340s). Did time towing banners in San Diego (Stearman), 135 Chief Pilot (402/421), and Barnstorming the Midwest in my 1928 Travel Air. Hooked up with a start-up (Reno Express) then on to Reno Air until American bought us and here I am... 18,000 hours later. I've restored 7 airplanes now and have 4 in the shop under construction: 3 Pietenpols and a Hatz. Flown 126 different types and try to ferry a plane or two each year just for fun. Always been active in the unions (ALPA and APA) and now spend a lot of time helping younger pilots get in the game. Playing chess is a lot like flying sometimes: thinking ahead of the airplane, out-maneuvering weather, planning for the unexpected.

Does anyone have suggestions for learning the King KLN89B GPS? The rental I'm flying has this unit installed (not new, but it works) and I'd like to learn it without having to fly for hours with an instructor. Are there any books, videos, etc that anyone knows about?

This little bird has been down for a while. Helping a friend get it back in the air...and here's the video to prove it flies! Not the best camera work, but the first one is take-off, the second is landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX0KeqW9i1Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGHSJs__bHY
