I am a private pilot, and have been flying since 1987, mostly rental Cessna and Pipers, until Sep 2000, when I bought a 1968 Cherokee 6-300, N4184R.  It is my flying "family van".  I've done a lot of improvements to the plane:

When traveling on business, I try to include some personal flying, as time and opportunity permits.  This allows me to see various places in the world from the unique perspective of flying an airplane.  It also lets me put interesting log entries from around the world into my log book. Some of these flying trips have been recorded with pictures; the links are below.

I also write reports of most of my more interesting flying trips, and share them via email with flying friends and family.  The trip reports are available on their own page.

Even though we're quite happy with our improved Cherokee 6-300, I still dream about someday owning or even building a sleek, composite-construction, laminar flow wing design plane.  Some of my favorites are listed below.

Here are some links to some of my favorite aviation-related sites.
