Flying Club May Resuscitate Flying Career

CLEAR! TV doctors bark this sharp-elbowed warning before they shock a restive heart back to a regular rhythm. It is also the warning pilots issue to bystanders before they energize an airplane’s air processer. Seemingly disassociated warnings, several...

Aviation: It’s ALWAYS About The Passengers

Looking Bach at the Joy of Simple Flight

An old-school reader, annually I must winnow my collected ink-on-paper titles to make shelf room for Christmas newcomers. As they have for decades, the works of Richard Bach survive every purge. Like many others, I met Richard through the pages of Jonathan...

AA Pilots: Bankruptcy is YOUR Fault

Biz Jets Merely a Pawn in Wealth Wars

With her saucy style, Gail Collins is one of my favorite New York Times Op-Ed authors. This week she wrote about “ The Best Perk in Politics .” Naturally, she’s talking about business jets and all the free rides Rick Perry took on them. After a fleeting...
