It was a day with clear skies and a light wind.  It was a perfect day for my first solo flight as a US Air Force student pilot.   The thrill of piloting a jet all alone is hard to describe.   It’s one of life’s experiences that never leave you.  There are other memorable things that we do or places that we visit.  One very powerful place is in France: the First World War … [Read more...]

The Beautiful European Magpie

I've always loved everything that flies, and especially birds. We live near the forest and have several trees around our back yard. There are birds in our yard every day.
