I spent a easy going, relaxed, scenic, and unique Saturday with my friends Jim, Deb, and Tom at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Great day starting with a beautiful ride down from upstate in Tom’s Baron. We all took rides in their 1929 New Standard biplane for great views of the Hudson river valley. The airshow was wonderfully ran with great flying and some rare aircraft. A fun time with friends and airplanes!
Another Year at Galesburg
With great weather for most of the week we did loads of flying! Lots of fun in the air and on the ground. Flying over in the 140 was a great highlight for me. I’m grateful for all the friends and volunteers that make this week fantastic!
Wacko for Wacos!
Chad flew his 1931 QCF-2 off the wing of Ric’s Broussard for photos while we were all attending the Galesburg NSF fly-in. What a cool airplane and you can see how much Chad loves flying it from all his smiles from the cockpit.
The Great OSH (2026)
The great and wonderful “OSH”. Tons of great friends and plenty of new ones. Felt good to stretch the legs but I was wiped out coming home.
Sun N Fun 2026
This year’s Sun-N-Fun was filled with so many friends to see and catch up with. Watching the fly-in aircraft arrive and depart from camp was relaxing as ever. The night show on Wednesday and Saturday did not disappoint (it never does). This year also featured the USAF Thunderbirds and they rocked each performance. And to top it all off -an Antonov AN2 made the show and the top of my favorites list.
The photos from this year are a little sparse. My legs just don’t do what they used to. Enjoying the time with friends is the best part!

OSH Happy Time
Is there anything better than OSH? Feeling blessed to have spent time immersed with my aviation friends. You know the best of the best warbirds, vintage, and homebuilt aircraft will make an appearance. Always cool stuff to see and explore. Lots of speakers and so much info to digest. This year featured a large Canadian contingent and they put on a fantastic show celebrating the 100th year of the RCAF. And a personal favorite, Brian’s Goose, made its first trip in and was a gathering point for the week.
Half Fast Formation Clinics

Davenport by Day and Night
A fun filled weekend with friends, camping, food, kids, bmx, chilling, beer, heat, sun and an airshow. Warbirds, jets and aerobatics during the day show followed by displays of absolute power during the night show. Afterburners and dramatic clouds made a memorable evening!
My First Ditch
Flight up with Bill in his sweet 170 was a treat and after the weather passed we spent a beautiful day and night on the airfield. Lots of friends to see both old and new. Thanks to Marginal Aviation folks for creating and event where its so easy to find a fun time!
