Photographic Logbook: May 2015
http://warrior481.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. How Did That Get There? For every aircraft owner, the annual inspection is a big deal. It means downtime, expense, and angst (over what might be discovered and the cost to repair it). A good relationship with a trustworthy, knowledgeable shop is the best way to mitigate the most unpleasant aspects of the annual inspection. Since Warrior 481 adopted me in 2004, I have interacted principally with two shops: Conrad Aero. In Three Rivers, MI and Boshart Enterprises. In Batavia, NY.

Photographic Logbook: Gummy Flight and the Practicality of General Aviation
http://warrior481.blogspot.com/2010/07/gummy-flight.html
Friday, July 30, 2010. Gummy Flight and the Practicality of General Aviation. 5G0 (LeRoy, NY) - PCW (Port Clinton, OH) - AZO (Kalamazoo, MI). AZO - HAI (Three Rivers, MI) - 5G0. This is an interesting notion to me. When I began flying, I never tried to ascribe a practical value to my avocation. For me, flying holds immense emotional value. Quantifiable, practical value? Perhaps not, but value nonetheless. Parents will understand. When I experienced that dismay, I realized that I had proven my own point a...

Photographic Logbook: April 2015
http://warrior481.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. Future Memories Made and Captured. SDC (Sodus, NY) - IPT (Williamsport, PA) - DSV (Dansville, NY) - SDC. Daddy, can I bring my camera? The first breakfast flight for me and The Bear of 2015 was postponed as we searched the house in earnest for her little red Kodak camera. I found it in her "jewelry" drawer, where it had lain fallow under a pile of Silly Bands since our flight to the Thousand Islands. Photo by The Bear. In hindsight, it is clear to me that having longer arms grants...

Photographic Logbook: The 2003 National Air Tour Comes to Kalamazoo
http://warrior481.blogspot.com/2003/09/2003-national-air-tour-comes-to.html
Monday, September 8, 2003. The 2003 National Air Tour Comes to Kalamazoo. The National Air Tour flew again on September 8, 2003 - just in time for the Centennial of Flight. As before, Kalamazoo was the second stop for the tour of roughly 25 vintage aircraft. Kent, Dave, Daniel, and I played hooky from work to walk amongst these magnificent travelers from another age. The instrument panel of the Ryan M-1 is reminiscent of (though more elegantly appointed than) the one in the Spirit of St Louis. A 1931 Sti...

Photographic Logbook: Tales of the Tin Goose
http://warrior481.blogspot.com/2015/08/tales-of-tin-goose.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Tales of the Tin Goose. EYE (Indianapolis, IN) - PCW (Port Clinton, OH) -. DSV (Dansville, NY) - SDC (Sodus, NY). Cherokee dropped me off at Eagle Creek Aviation on her way to work. It's a shame that she was rushed. I think it would have been fun to take a photo of her together with my Piper Cherokee, sort of a photographic pun. Maybe next time. Out of the Heartland. Conditions of flight Tuesday morning were quite different from Sunday. We cruised at 7,000 feet in a much cool...
