]]> Comment on Your nearest exit may be behind you. by Elizabeth http://www.nwflyingphoto.com/blog/?p=257&cpage=1#comment-70998 Elizabeth Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:14:33 +0000 http://www.nwflyingphoto.com/blog/?p=257#comment-70998 Roy, I came across your site today and really enjoyed looking through it. I especially liked this post because your rule #1 is the most important aside from being licensed to fly! I work in affiliation with a school that offers aviation courses and I think this site would be a great place to have a link set up. Let me know what you think. In the meantime, keep writing, I enjoy reading what you have to say. Elizabeth Roy,

Am impressed with your photos. With my plane and your camera, and think we could manage some more. I fly out of Chehalis and so a run up to Harvey, or whatever airport you live near is a short hop. Email me if you want to do some flying when the #$%! rain stops for awhile. RustedGranny Having just started my own blog, I decided to look around at others, specifically those about flying.

CHAPTER 3 – DEAD RECKONING AND PILOTAGE

The bright light before me flashed and shocked me to life. It filled the cockpit as I gently descended through the base of the clouds. The Pacific ocean appeared beneath my wings.
