Although I haven't logged thousands of hours, I've been able to log air time in a number of light aircraft. In some cases, the experience has been short, sometimes only a few minutes in length, others, for one hundred hours or more. Regardless, each of the planes that I've flown has taught me a little bit more about flying.

I'll always have fond memories of the Twin Navion since I literally grew up in it. The Citabria introduced me to tail wheels while the Scout and Aeronca Champ were my introduction to float flying. Clark Seaborn was very generous to let me fly his Fokker Super Universal, which, like the Stearman was a fantastic introduction to pre-war, stick and rudder, seat of your pants flying. If you're one of the pilots who's shared your planes with me - my sincere thanks.
