Our Last First Kitfox Flight
Each of my kids have a first flight with me in the Kitfox. My youngest is not yet four, and has been angling to get a ride for months, only to change her mind whenever the opportunity arose.
A few weeks ago, we broke through the hesitancy and shared our first time going somewhere. It was pretty spontaneous, and the extra headset was at the airport, not at the house, so we had to yell over engine noise to be understood. The resulting dialogue audio was less than perfect, and you'll notice that I was having a hard time understanding her, too.
The range of emotions she experienced made themselves clear on her face as she faced and overcame her fears.
We've had an awful lot on our plates here at the farm, with precious little time for editing videos. Follow us on Instagram for more frequent updates.

THE B

Flying gliders is a great way to get very good at flying airplanes, without the distraction of engine management to deal with. Here, we discuss severla aspects of aviation, including why age isn't as important with an airplane, and why some flights are bumpier than others

TAKIN
taking-my-first-passenger-in-the-2
After 27 years of flying, I was finally able to acquire a completed Kitfox Mk5, and am working on perfecting my STOL landings.
For my first passenger, I took my second daughter. My oldest wouldn't even walk up to the plane, much less fly in it!
After this flight, she pretty much claimed the right seat. I suspect eventually her sisters will object.

ECLIP
eclipse-2017-an-airborne-view
Took off from northeast Tennessee and intercepted the eclipse at 10,500 feet northwest of Athens. The GoPro failed to stay in position once we accelerated over 150mph, but the angle it ended up at turned out to provide an unexpectedly nice, albeit wide-angle, view of the sky during totality.

A FRO
a-frosted-ridge
Just a quick reminder that the Kitfox is still alive. Winter is a little less comfortable to fly in, but there is some awesome beauty to be found. I was finally able to get up in the air after a nice snow storm last week. The GoPro on the wing captured this beautiful ridge flight.
This video edit was auto-generated by the GoPro app, so don't blame me for the music, please. :)

LIBBY

My daughter has been riding in airplanes since she was 3 weeks old, but never until today has she been able to experience a grass field in a plane. At the end of a beautiful Northeast Tennessee summer day, we were able to take the Kitfox into a farmer's field close to our base.
Here's pretty much the entire flight. Her expressions are half the fun!

AN IN
an-intro-to-flying-machines
Pilots have a different view of the world, and nothing is likely to get them talking more easily than any subject related to flying. In this video, I tell how I got into flying a quarter century ago, and I introduce you to my first "real" airplane, a 1968 Mooney M20G that we've been flying for eleven years.
