My wife took ground school with me 16 years ago and even took a few lessons, but has been satisfied with being a passenger until our recent trip to the Keys. I'm not ready to divulge details, but we had a "significant" weather/equipment event which was a wake up call for both of us. What a trooper - where many would hang up flying altogether, she's jumped in with both feet and wants to finish her lessons. Who would have thought a near death experience would kick start flight training? She even flew the Rocket most of the way to Vegas this weekend.

August 1992. We have something to sit in and make airplane noises.


Sept. 2015. Different parent. Same plane, has been making its own airplane noise for 20+ years. Same girl, who knew that there was a Chemical Engineering Degree in that little blond head?

Default Kelli Girl

My girl Kelli brought KELLI GIRL to life.







Kelli makes the plane (and me) look good. And because she insists on a smooth ride, she makes me a better pilot.
