Part Two: Thinking out Loud - continuing the pilot report list we started yesterday. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
StampeThe little SVA Stamp sits dead center between the Stearman and the Tiger Moth but leans just a little toward the Moth personalitywise. However, while the Stampe is also a bi-winged drag machine, with lots of wires and not enough horsepower, compared to both the Stearman and T’moth it is slick as an arrow.

Read excerpt
A couple weeks back I made an offer to do pilot reports on demand, and a number of readers raised their hands. Then, as I was fumbling around looking for a new subject for this week, I found myself fighting with myself because, as I’m often saying (and totally failing at) I would prefer to keep my personal feelings and experiences to a bare minimum here. At the same time, I want to present some form of aviation at least once a month. Or more. Not everyone reading this page is into aviation. So I

Read excerpt
You know you’re falling behind the times when you watch the Academy Awards (if you can force yourself to do that) and you don’t know more than one or two of the stars, if any. And there’s a high probability you haven’t seen any of the movies. Or you see the list for the top 10 songs of the year and realize the same thing. Who is Teddy Swims or Lil Baby? Lady Gaga we’ve heard of but none of the rest. Phoenix has a very active concert scene and recently, when the ticket sales lists started showing
