Stories
These are links to stories about flying (and a couple of other things)
that I've written and shared with folks. Most are fun, there are
a couple of serious ones in the mix.
- The do-it-yourself 747 . Now the
truth is
out....
- Wire Strike! A
Cherokee
pilot
flies through power lines, and not only lives, but LANDS.
- The Homebuilt Submarine . Yes, a
submarine,
built out of a T-33 tip tank.
- Goodbye, John
.
A farewell to a friend.
- The Auburn
Witch
Project . Oooo, that's SCAAAARYYY!!! :-)
- Banner . Everyone had their
reaction
to
September 11th. Here's what I wrote for our next EAA Chapter
newsletter.
- An Accelerometer in Paradise .
Where
would
paradise be for a device that measures and stores shocks and bangs for
later examination? How about in a piece of baggage carried by a
commercial
airliner....
- AVweb Articles. I've
written a
couple
of articles for the online aviation magazine AVweb
- Fly Baby Tales - A Fly Baby is an
open-cockpit,
single-seat, homebuilt airplane. I've been flying them for about
fifteen years now, and really have no urge to move on to something
else.
Over the years, I've posted a number of stories of things that've
happened
in my Fly Baby. These stories all all located in with my Fly
Baby web page .
- Interested in writing for aviation magazines? Check out the
Avwriter's
Primer.
- The Songs
They Sang. Five articles about traditional aviation
songs.
- I've
got Wings! A PDF version of a pre-war Army Air Force pamphlet
for kits, all about flying.
Fun Sites
These are links to some aviation-related sites which are just plain fun
to go through. They're mostly G-rated, although one or two
may have some off-color jokes in sections. Check out my own Stories
section, too.
Homebuilt Aircraft Home Pages
These home pages are organized by aircraft type. Some are operated by
the
companies, others are privately operated. Inclusion in this list should
not be construed as an endorsement, nor should exclusion be considered
as a negative comment towards the aircraft in question. To suggest a
site,
email me at ron@wanttaja.com.
Aircraft
can
be
found
under either the designer/kit manufacturer name,
or the name of the plane. Some sites contain massive lists of
additional
links to that type...instead of reproducing all the links, I indicate
that
the links are contained on that site.
Looking for an older design that just doesn't seem available?
Check out the Vintage Ultralight and
Lightplane
Association (VULA) . They're trying to gather the rights to
these
old designs and make them available.
