Welcome to my collection of flying stories.
This is sort of a "I Learned About Flying by" or "There I was..."

Someone once told me the diference between a wise man and a fool is that a fool learns from his own mistakes and a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. Hopefully, those who read these stories will learn from the mistakes of others. I'd like to think that I will never make the same mistake twice. So far... so good.

Go ahead, submit a story via email. I'll put it in here for the whole world to see. You'll be famous.
