• PBI ATC: One Bad Apple Won’t Spoil the Bunch

  One of t he truly enjoyable parts of life – for me at least – is the chance to travel often aboard a business airplane.

• Visual Distractions Still Affect Flight Safety

  When I learned to fly back in the mid 1970s, the airspace over the LA Basin was pretty crowded.

• Cute as a Button for AirVenture 2009

• A380: Quite a Ride

  I was privileged to have been invited to fly the Airbus A380 in Toulouse last week.
