By Ben Sclair · July 27, 2015 ·

I suggest you make plans to see Living in the Age of Airplanes. Better yet, take some non-pilot friends and go see it together. Then go out to dinner so you can talk about the movie. Living in the Age of Airplanes is from the director that made 2005’s One Six Right, Brian J. Terwilliger. […]

We’re all in this together

By Ben Sclair · July 22, 2015 ·

Yes, I know that headline is a tad cliche, but it’s true. We need each other… more than ever. In order to survive we need pilots, aircraft, fuel and airports. To thrive, we must add pilots, produce state-of-the-art aircraft, have a steady supply of fuel, and a healthy network of airports of all sizes. There’s […]

Utah's Mexican Mountain Airstrip
