The tradition is enjoyed by airplane-loving-types that build, restore and fly airplanes with their nose held high (the airplanes [...]

I’ll start with something simple that sooths my aching head … a beautiful winter sunset in Cincinnati Ohio (photo above) … and conclude with a very short comment regarding our Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter (EAA284) meeting on Sunday – one that had a subject over my [...]

The weekend was busy as usual with the annual Red Stewart Airshow and my Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter’s (EAA284) Tail Dragger Fly In and Pancake breakfast.

Be sure to fly – or drive — in for breakfast on Sunday morning September 6th for our Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 284′s Annual Taildragger Fly-In Pancake Breakfast.

My Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter (EAA284) met at a new shop of one of our members today for our May meeting.

Although I’m building an aluminum aircraft, [...]
