Two summers ago, I packed all of my belongings into my van, locked it up in a San Pedro storage lot, and lit out on a 10,000 mile solo Harley romp across America. Mile after mile of open road beckoned, and I answered the siren call. That trip, by the way, was made with no cell phone, no credit cards, and basically no safety net. Oh, and no home to return to.
Leaps of faith require complete faith.
For 10,000 miles, I dreamed of what it would be like to look down on the highways from the cockpit of a bi-plane. One week later, I was appointed editor of this newsletter, and it's all been a blur since. Seven years of writing for Easyriders magazine, and my unbridled passion for all things aviation, were the two best qualifications I had to offer. Dennis Parham, also a private pilot, was appointed Associate Editor, bringing with him years of C.A.P., law enforcement, and military aviation mechanic experience. We're both extremely proud to be members of the team that defends California's public use airports without compromise.
