Amen!
What a relief
Wow! Amazing! I agree with everything you said in the Straight & Level, January 2006. It is a relief to know that I am not the only one that has those opinions. I also agree with just about everything you have written in the past, including the Confederate flag, and I am from New Jersey, […]
Reality Check
You are to be commended for having the guts to say what needed to be said in your Straight & Level of the December issue (False perceptions of danger: This is a free country, isn’t it?). I am sick and tired of people who have no knowledge of an activity telling me what I should […]
Just one type of Intelligent Design
I read your article on user fees revisited (Headwinds, December 2005). I also agree that user fees are ridiculous. One comment I have is Creationism is not intelligent design, but one type of of intelligent design among others. For instance, some people believe aliens created life — that is also intelligent design. I have a […]
That time of year
I’m not certain how it happened, but aviation-wise the first of the year has become a very busy time for us. This year, annuals, medicals and insurance renewals all fall in the first quarter, and this pilot/owner-operator is rather overwhelmed with paperwork, appointments and the need to juggle the household cash flow to meet all […]

I blame the EAA for letting these so-called Big Money people pull this kind of stunt. My take is get in line like the […]
Could tax bill kill GA?

The bill —S. 2020 — passed the Senate with these provisions. The House version is different, so it will go to conference, […]
Mass arrivals actually safer
Sorry I missed the Lisa Kondrick article (Time to get outta Dodge, Sept. 9 issue) that touched off this subject, but the letter to the editor by Michael Baas (Just say no to mass arrivals, Oct. 7 issue) concerns me for the lack of bigger picture perspective.A complaint is made that the mass arrivals somehow […]
The bigger question
Mr. Helms raises a valid and timely issue in his recent letter regarding the self-certification aspect of Sport Pilot medicals (Could medical kill Sport Pilot? Dec. 2 issue). I plan to keep flying my Comanche for some time yet, but like many older pilots, have considered switching to Sport Pilot somewhere down the road if […]
