I recently flew to Lordsburg, NM for a little fly-in. On the way, I made a pass down one my favorite little valleys and stopped at two backcountry airstrips. The first is Beaverhead and then MeOwn. Both are on the edge of the Gila Wilderness Area and are great little airstrips. Apologies for the first… [Read More]
First Flight of the Decade
Yeah… I know, the decade started a couple months ago…. I actually flew on that day. It’s the video production bit that has lagged. But… it is here… finally. Apologies for the laggardness… 🙂 https://youtu.be/-abd2JIlxeY

Amarillo on my mind…
I made a day trip to Amarillo, TX earlier this week. On the way home, I took these photos of some storms over east-central New Mexico. A very pretty flight home!
Negrito Airstrip Work Weekend
The New Mexico Pilots Association (NMPA) backcountry crowd recently had their spring work weekend. The goal this year was to repair fence and eliminate some roads at the Negrito airstrip. I’ve built roads but never eliminated them so I was excited to learn something new. I must admit, the “work” part of this weekend is… [Read More]
Fly-Ski Trip and a Magneto
I’ve done a terrible job and posting lately… my apologies… What can I say… busy… busy, I guess. Remember these fly and ski trips?? Sadly… I haven’t done one in a while. Of course, I was away and without an airplane for a while but now that I’m back. Nothing but poor excuses… very busy… [Read More]
