A week ago, I had a chance to my second ever Angel Flight. This one involved flying a cancer patient from my home airport to Santa Monica, CA (KSMO). Seeing as it would be my first time flying in the Los Angeles area, I asked my brother to fly along as co-pilot. It was an early morning...

Freezing rain has been coming down all day here in Iowa City. We've got 1/2 inch of ice on everything, huge tree limbs crashing down, grenade-sized chunks of ice raining down. No one is flying. No one is driving. Most areas have no power. (We still do, thankfully!) Crazy.... And they're...

We all make them. Some more than others. That's what I thought about when I saw this little animation on YouTube. Thanks to John Tabor's blog for the link. Non-pilots will probably get a chuckle. Pilots may have a different reaction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs Marco
