Welcome aboard!

I’m a retired UPS pilot; flew domestic & Asia for 32yrs.

Metro, J-31, DC-8, 757, 767. Wild ride. ✈️

I’m author of the aviation explainer Aerosavvy.com

Current #AvGeek adventure is flying our Cherokee Six.

Other stuff: Running, 3D design/printing, & way too much #Disney °o°
So, I had this crazy idea of making some YouTube videos documenting my build of the 2 meter RC Cub.

If you’re interested, here’s the playlist. First 2 episodes finished.

I’m awkward in front of a camera. Be nice! 😆

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

Started building my Christmas present. It’s a Dancing Wings 2 meter wingspan J-3 Cub RC (electric motor).

Who wants a scale model Walt Disney World Resort’s Disney Skyliner in their backyard? 🙋🏼‍♂️

We had our family holiday cookie decorating party and dinner tonight. A little late but we got it done!

Finally completed my 1/144 scale UPS fleet.

I built the DC-8 about 20 years ago. It started life as a Revell United DC-8-61.

The 767-300 is an Aeroflot model by Russian maker Zvezda.

757-200 is a Minicraft NASA aircraft.

The Zvezda kit was by far the best quality and easiest build.

F**k ICE

Our Elf on a Shelf is extra creepy this year.

Don’t stare into his eyes, and…

Don’t BLINK. 🎄

This video of me was shot somewhere over the Pacific a few years back on Christmas Eve. I’m not saying that’s Santa. But I’m not saying it isn’t! 🎅🏽

I’m getting a head start on Christmas morning cookery. Just finished 4 loaves of my mom’s Nizua: It’s a Finnish sweet bread flavored with cardamom, lots of butter, and topped with sliced almonds and turbinado sugar.

It’s the best.

I got to fly as safety pilot in my friend’s Mooney Bravo yesterday. He shot 2 RNAV approaches wearing foggles while I watched for traffic.

Coolest approach was the RNAV 24 down to mins with a circle to land on 15. Fun!

Do you remember the big winter storm of December 2004? Hard to believe it’s been 21 years! ❄️

I scored 19 because I never had an AOL address. I did have an account with Quantum Link (Q-Link) which was the AOL predecessor for the Commodore 64/128. So, I’m awarding myself 2 bonus points for being extra old. Final score: 21 🤣

I installed iOS 26.1 on my phone.
Ugly 🤢. Safari browser tab navigation is awkward.

Does anyone like this?

I’m having a “Getting out of flying Hangar Sale” tomorrow.

If you happen to live in Louisville and have access to the KLOU T-Hangars, I’m at the West-Ts, hangar 14.

9-Noon. Snow or shine!

I watched our Cherokee Six takeoff Monday with its new owner at the controls. 😢

As I was recording, it dawned on me that I had never watched or heard our plane take off. Odd feeling.

My last flight as a pilot was Nov 22 when I test flew her after the annual (good thing I made a nice landing 😁).

Caught the last of the fall colors south of Louisville today.

This model has been sitting in my closet for over a decade. Figured it was time to put it together. Any guesses what it is?

The balsa flyer in the background is a Guillow’s Cessna 180 my daughter started in grade school (8 yrs ago?). I finally covered it for her. Flies great.

I’m really happy with how Soarin’ turned out.

I planned to 3D print a sign from Thingiverse. But it would be small & I didn’t like the existing designs.

So I went big with foam board. Sign is 46”w x 14”h. Letters, swoosh, & glider are 3D printed.
