I want you folks to know what a great sense of humor Jim has. I have NO TAIL-DRAGGER TIME but he wants to watch me try to pass a biennial in his. My instructors have shaken their heads a few times over the years, but this would be the first time one died laughing!

If any of you folks want to learn to fly a tail-dragger, Jim's a former Naval aviator (a/k/a fighter jock) and he knows his stuff.

Not much these days, I'm building an RV-7A. I flew Mooneys and Grumman Tigers for a few years and really enjoyed both. My wife learned in a C-172 and a Warrior, but she hasn't flown in a good while either.

I wish I had more time to work on the plane, but work does have a way of getting in the way of fun!

One of my flying magazines (AOPA Pilot) has a regular monthly column entitled "Never Again." In it are stories of close calls for pilots, most of whom made a subtle but critical mistake, or series of mistakes, that almost cost them their lives. Many times I've read Never Again stories and thought how easy it would have been to make the same mistake.

Well, let's take a cue from the flyboys, tell a few stories on ourselves, laugh a bit, and hopefully we can all learn something! But remember, this is a "G" rated forum.

Also, I'm going to move a couple of posts to this new forum.
