Black & White Biplane of Santa Monica

My analysis of the Kobe crash. I'm pretty sure this is what the accident report will look like.

“Thread on cause of crash. 1/ I've flown commercially in the crash area for many years. When the crash occurred, I tweeted a first impression, that the crash bore the hallmarks of something called a CFIT event.”

For those of you who might have wondered about the dog in the cover shot, this is the story of teaching him to fly. He was one of hell of a good pilot.

To all my aviation and biplane ride friends:

I know this page has been dormant for a while, but this is worth waking up for.

My old pal Bob Dobry is up for this opportunity to fly a WACO biplane from the tip of Argentina to Florida.

I know Bob because he and I have similar tastes in airplanes and dogs. WACOs and Golden retrievers and we became fast friends in LA.

He's THE man for this job. A consummate biplane pilot and aviation pro. He's the ideal candidate for this. Please get behind him in this quest — all it takes is some liking and sharing here on facebook to help get the word out.

The organizers of this would be crazy not to put Bob on the team. He's got a ton of WACO time, handles the airplane with perfection and is the kind of knowledgable hands-on guy who can not only fly the airplane but tend to it en route (something every WACO needs jsut about every time you fly one, let alone fly one across all of South America.

Go, Bob Dobry!

Ever since the feds stuck their nose in the biplane business and killed barnstorming at Santa Monica Airport, I've had to reinvent myself as a writer. It's been going pretty well, with a short dog book best selling on Amazon for going on a year now.

I blog about the dog at the web site below.

Some old non-dog photographs I found in my computer. All mine - everything from, "the most evil man in the world," according to the State Department, to old-fashioned snapshots to Cambodian land mine victims to Lahu o***m harvesters. I've got a million more, but these were shot on film and I scanned very few of them a long time ago.
