I’m still lurking in the back of the pack, and the real dark horse, Art, has yet to even start his schooling.

This alphabet thing could get interesting… While this is not the official recap, I *think* I’m in the lead, having completed an L flight. I know Mark S. and Dennis B. are going to try to fly K, L, and…   Read more»
