Re: Let's hear it for John Simon

that is a HUGE deal; these are some of the most famed pilots in the world. And yet, fueled by beer and the love of his devoted wife, Heather, John kicked their asses!
Woohoo!!

Re: Judy

Judy welcomed me into the little group of flying ladies with open arms. It becomes clearer and clearer that none of this are getting out of this world alive. The biggest gift is a life well spent, one where we love well and are loved back. I think Judy accomplished this. She'll be missed.

Re: Lessons from a Lucky Wind Dummy - Edith's 12/28

Krista,
Girls are SO smart! Great write up, and great perception in knowing the difference between luck and skill. We all make error judgements but intelligent pilots like you learn from them. Well done all around.
