I just emailed the guy who took the photo. He is a photo/aviation enthusiast who lives under the approach end of our airport. He is going to come out and do some more photos with us on a nearby grass strip, and some air to air shots. I will ask him about using the photos in the calender.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I did a bunch of research on the internet and basically found that putting something in his ear would probably be the best, problem is that we were not really wanting to shove something in his ears. Using a model from the AOPA website I manufactured some earmuffs using breast pu...

Getting ready to take the little guy up for the first time. He is 6 weeks old. Any advice or experience in taking babies up in the 170. I have talked to many friends who all seem to create some sort of hearing protection, but nothing that seems to really work. Any ideas? Armed with the car seat and ...
