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).

Looking forward to reading your stories.

I didn’t read them in order but I think I read all the air-minded posts. Who says blog post are ephemeral and don’t age well? Well, that’s mostly true, if nobody much reads it when you initially post it then it surely won’t get read much in the future either. Your stuff holds up.
