I write Air-Minded posts for a general audience. They’re meant to be interesting and entertaining, not scholarly. Some are war stories about flying fighter and training aircraft for the USAF; some describe current developments in aviation; others are about contemporary and historical aircraft. Many of the photos are my own, taken at the Pima Air & Space Museum and other aviation museums.
Air-Minded posts are indexed in reverse order (most recent first).
