It is not often one gets a chance to see eight B-17 Flying Fortresses gathered together in one place. Toss in to the mix a B-24 Liberator and a few early model P-51 Mustangs and you have yourself a once in a life time event or once in several year event. That was the attraction [...]
After a few weeks without Kelly, as she was on tour with Undue Favor, it was time to head up north to hookup with her for the weekend. We were going to be in the Connecticut area and I knew that there was a aviation event going on so I held my breath and crossed [...]
After leaving Ashville I was off to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I was going to enjoy a day of hiking and camping with a friend. It was to late to hike that Saturday so after a few stops to enjoy the views, catch some wildlife with my camera, get some food and campsite [...]
Thanks to Andy and Susan for a great time after the Doolittle Raider Reunion. We all got together at their hanger for a BBQ and unknown to me some flying. The first night was hampered due to heavy cross winds but the second night was perfect. Besides airliners I’ve only flown in a 172. So [...]

Today I stopped into the beer shop in Cool Springs and happened upon a brew that I had written off as gone forever and I’d never get to try, Genesee Bock Beer. Most folks will never know about Genesee Beer, some might say they should be glad about that. But Genesee is a native of [...]
Seems strange to have two blogs in a row about friends that have passed. A good friend Glen Thompson (he is the one with the least amount of hair in the picture) passed late last week. Glen showed the Joy of the Lord like few others and had a huge heart for those that were [...]
I received the sad news a friend named Jeff passed away in December. Jeff was part of the airshow group that was formed through Warbird Information Exchanged. He was a great guy with a unique sense of humor. He will be missed at the fence line this coming year and many years to come! I [...]
OK, maybe I’m being to hard on myself. But I went out today and did not bring my camera gear with me. The sun was going down and all the trees were covered with ice. It was prefect for pictures, just perfect! There I was with no camera to try and capture the moment. I [...]
