Just got home from an EAA meeting where Carol Ann Garrett was the guest speaker. Her slide presentation and speech about her round-the-world flight in a Mooney in 2003 was fascinating. Took my wife and 3 daughters with me, they're all raving about it. If you get a chance to hear her story, go for it. I had spent some weeks exploring her website some time ago, you'd enjoy it too, I'm sure.

On the topic of the subject line, now... Great article on aviation fuel. Why diesel can kill your 100LL engine, what's the differences between the fuels, what is Octane, how is that rating determined, etc. I thought it was one of the better ones I've read:
