The challenges we face today in getting the young to be involved with aviation is a daunting one. It’s hard enough to get them to put down their mobile phones and stop texting long enough to see the value in it. With XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii we have even greater challenges. When we were...

If you have enjoyed my book please give me a critique on this site and Amazon.

It only costs a few dollars and the stories are wonderful. We need more aviaton books that focus on the joy and sometimes pain of being a pilot.

Book number 3 is now in the hands of a literary agency. Check out "And the Citadel Fell."

I really appreciate the interest my fellow pilots and students have in my writing. So far 4 "Dogs Don't Fly" books have been given free. I can't wait to hear what the readers think. I have also had a request for both books. He is willing to defer my costs with a modest sum. How exciting! I...

I have 40 copies of my second book. Offering a couple free. First come first served.

“To give is better than to receive.” We have all heard this quote from the Bible regardless what religion you follow. I had a chance today to do just that. I am not talking about handing out money to people with cardboard signs at intersections. I am talking about helping a young homeless man...

Coming soon, my next book "Some Dogs Fly." Follow the link below for a sneak peak. Once my publisher gives me permission I will put up a preview chapter or two. Thanks to all who have supported my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

For those of you who enjoyed the Introduction and Chapter 1, you can now read Chapter 2 as well. Just go to the DDF website and Chapter 2 is now available in PDF.

Well, I gave my Pug Trickie Woo back to the breeder Saturday. It really broke my heart but he had no quality of life living with me. I work too much and seldom had time to give him the attention he needed. Brenda says he is doing fine and getting along with her other Pugs. He follows her...

Does anybody own a Cessna 150/150. I would die to get my hands on one. I already have 400 hours in my 150J and would really enjoy the extra power. It would totally change the airplane. Incidentally, I have wondered why there are not other STC'd engines to replace the venerable O-200. I...

Don't jump all over me. Several people asked that I post the 1st chapter of "Dogs Don't Fly" in PDF on my website. Your request has been granted.

It is so pathetic, I just watched a show about Mustang’s across America a group of 300 Mustangs from California to Memphis. They act like this is some great feat driving cars across a small portion of the country. They have no idea what it is like to fly a Cessna 150 to Oshkosh from Oklahoma...

Wow, I just did a check and SNF is 900 nautical miles from my home base, if I would be willing to fly 200 miles across open water, IE the Gulf of Mexico. If I followed the coast it would add another 300 miles. Compair that to my trip to Oshkosh which is about 675 miles. I don't know if the 150...

Hey, at least you guys and gals have spunk. So many forums have little to no traffic. Honest, you people are cool.

I am wondering if it is worth the $600.

Ok, I get it. Nobody wants to hear about my book or my intentions. I shall gracefully bow out of this message board. Good luck and I hope future conversations will be less controversial.

I posted my book on this forum not to make money, believe me. I only wanted to share my passion for aviation to you all. If you email me I will send you a book for free. No fooling, I just want people to share my work with the youth. I am a very sucessful architect and don't need the small...

After an insane amount of work all my 200 Oshkosh 2009 pictures are up on my website www.youthinaviation.com I also added a photo page index for those who have already seen some of the pics. Enjoy.

There are 2, one of my friend's Maule coming in and another of the Seaplane Base. Right now they are big hi-rez videos but I will be posting smaller versions for those with low bandwidth. www.youthinaviation.com
