Short Bio:

Got SEL Private ticket in '78, have only ~120 hours after all this time
due to 'priority shuffling' (spent '82,'83 not flying at all).  Time is
in 150's, 172's, 182's and Grumman AA1C.  Currently dreaming about building
a 'real' airplane (with both upstairs and downstairs wings, etc.)...


Most memorable flight:

May 18, 1980, Boeing field to Mount St. Helens vicinity five hours after
the big blast. Just happened to have a 172 reserved for the morning and
when the mountain blew it's top, we knew we had to be there.  Used radar
following just to make sure we wouldn't get into trouble with restricted
areas and the expected traffic, but it turned out to be no problem in
either case.
