Civil Air Patrol

I received a package from the Pennsylvania Wing headquarters of Civil Air Patrol the other day. It contained four copies of the newsletter, named Keystone Wing Slip, and this edition has David on the back. (Click to enlarge.)
The note on the back of this one says:
Gail,
We hope you will enjoy receiving a few copies of [...]

Came across this photo of David from a year ago that neither of us uploaded… I don’t know why, it may have been before I started fooling around with Photoshop and learned how to lighten shadows.
I took it just before we flew for the first time through the VFR corridor:
Photo album: Flying Over Manhattan - [...]

On Politics

I missed yesterday’s election in Canada, but I’ve been trying to keep up with the happenings through people’s blogs (because I loath advertising that much that I avoid commercial sites for even something as important as political process). I listened to public radio in the car but heard nothing about it there, and if it [...]

Friends

Photo by AviatorDave: My tuxedo cat Hugh when he was small, and the older female tabby I used to have. He eventually grew to twice her size!
Got home late — Helma fed me again, and I helped her finish a 1,000-piece puzzle. Ran errands all day between Wilkes-Barre and Dickson City (I live in-between), so [...]

Hugh and 02P’s Logs

Hugh boggles at the amount of paperwork it takes to keep our plane flying.
One of David’s photos, from June. I don’t know why he had the plane’s logs out on the dining room table, but curious Hugh couldn’t help sticking his nose in — spotted nostrils an’ all. Since I was doing airplane research last [...]

Winter Sun

A photo from last Sunday in Nay Aug Park, taken with the Pentax. Last week I was discussing film vs. digital with David’s workmates, and I mentioned that one major advantage of using an old film camera is that it doesn’t use lithium batteries (like most digitals) and therefore it can be used in temperatures [...]

Buddies

I’m guessing around 1969?
Little David and his pal, Rocky. More photos of David as a young tyke can be found here.

The Thrill of the Barrel Roll

I found the other barrel-rolling video. Both were shot over Lake Wallenpaupack on November 14, 2004. It was our third flight together, according to the logbooks!
I posted the shorter one (00:31) in October to Youtube.com:

This latest clip is longer, at 1:18. I can be heard yelling “Again! Again!” and I pan over to David’s grinning [...]
