Flight School Closes!

Wow, this might be a serious set back. I just found out, minutes before my scheduled lesson, that my flight school has closed and sold their airplanes, yet another victim of the closure of the Blue Ash Airport. The owner of Blue Ash Aviation inexplicable decided to take the Warrior off the airport for a […]

Flight Training Lesson 17 – To Sportys, not….

Today Pete and I both had things we wanted to pick up from Sporty’s Pilot shop, and since it’s local (at the Clermont County Airport), we decided we’d fly down there today and pick it up before they closed at 6. So, off we went, fat, dumb, and happy. As we setup for the downwind […]

Since the hosts, the Lorenz’s, are building a Velocity […]
