Folks, from the Flight Blog, this is Cap’n Aux speaking…
Lately, I’ve been spending quite a lot of time answering your questions over on our sister site at Quora.com.
To wit, I figured it was high time to catch you up here on the blog side, with the best of the best Q&As.
Enjoy!
BUT FIRST…
As we all enjoy our hotdogs on the grill along with our favorite adult beverage, let us remember those fallen heroes, whose ultimate sacrifices continue to protect our beloved
FREEDOM!!!
Here are two deeply special, personal stories I would like to share:
Flying a Fallen Hero
My personal experience being honored to escort a fallen soldier to his final resting place:

In the Headlines
Here’s a few questions I answered regarding some of the recent aviation headlines.
Note: if a question in the collage below appears fuzzy, click on it, and it will pop up for proper viewing.
For more on this accident, please see my previous blog post,
Recent Tragedies in US Airspace.
Blog Buddies...THANK YOU!!!
On my most recent flight, a passenger, Andrew, approached me and asked, “Hey, do you do videos?”
I said, Yes!
He said, I knew it!
Despite situations like this happening from time to time, I’m always sincerely humbled that my blog, videos and books have truly created an amazing aviation community.
And I’m ALWAYS delighted to chat with you any time we meet!
On another occasion, at a family party, I ran into a gent wearing a “Red Dog Saloon Juneau, Alaska” t-shirt. As many of you know, the Red Dog Saloon is where the bush pilots go to unwind and raise hell in my novel, The Last Bush Pilots!
I traded him a signed copy of the book—in exchange for one of his several Red Dog T-s!
