Took my friend Harry flying today in a RV7. Harry was a WWII fighter pilot and instructor and flew privately into his 80s. He did a beautiful job flying the RV. Here is my favorite picture. Notice the view out the top of the canopy. Harry will be 100 on August 21.

I was treated for malignant melanoma with imniotherapy. I have finished the therepy and my Pet scans have been clear for 9 months and a recent brain MRI was also clear. Do I have to get a special issuance first if I want to do Basic Med or can I just do basic med. I know if I had any heart...

My friend John Lane was flying this A-26 at Oshkosh on Monday 7-26 when something broke on the nosegear extension system and left it swinging in the breeze. Great video of the landing and he did a great job keeping it on the runway. Don

Anyone know what happened to Kimberlyanne546. She was very gung ho and had several thousand posts and then just dropped of the radar in 2014. Liked following her adventures and seeing someone progress from student to confident pilot. Don

Flew Zenith CH750 N641K this morning for its maiden flight. Has a UL power UL350si engine that performed great, very smooth. Few small trim bugs but otherwise uneventful. This is the 13 homebuilt airplane i have done the first flight on. Don

I had the honor of doing the first flight of a friend's RV12 today. All went well and it performed great. Just needed a little right rudder trim and prop pitch adjustment. This was the first RV 12 I have flown (I like it) and 11th first flight on a homebuilt I've done. Don

Woke up the N3N Wednesday and flew it about an hour. Even managed three great landings. We have a new custom exhaust I just have to show off. Don

The AOPA tougher than a Tornado Husky is down for a third time and probably out. The owner from Idaho dropped it in last year and got the left wing and gear. It was rebuilt and sold to a guy in Arizona who rolled it up in a ball on take off a few weeks ago. I don't think I would want to own it...

My partner in the Cub had local Nampa pilot Joe Dory in the backseat show him the Owyhee canyon. I'll want to get over there in the next couple of weeks and do the same flight. Not flying for the faint of heart. Don More at http://www.photobucket.com/owyhee
