Flying

It was a proud day for me, the first time I flew Baby home to Lunken (LUK) from Maryland

I love flying.
I started taking lessons when I was 19 and soloed in 1978.
I got my private license in 1980. In 1984 I got my Insturment ticket and I'm currently working toward my Commercial and Instructors ratings. I'm currently pilot in the
Civil Air Patrol

My ultimate plan is to get my ATP and fly charters as well as captain sailboat charters in the Virgin Islands

My BABY...N5814U
A 1970 Piper Cherokee 140 (PA28-140C)
160 HP Lycoming O-320-D2
4493 Hours TT 2026 SMOH

I bought her on 11/9/2005 and intend to fly her back and forth between my work in Baltimore and home in Northern Kentucky on the weekends. I keep her at Tippton Airport, (FME) Fort Mead (Odenton) Maryland.

TIPTON AIRPORT

I 14U, Mary Anne, Muppet Me and the Corvette at Lunken. (Okay, the Vett's Mary Anne's)

She has a great panel:
Dual Narco MK12 Nav/Comms with localizer and a Glideslope, S-Tec System 20 single axis autopilot. An IFR Certified Apollo GX-55 GPS with CDI, a Narco AT150 transponder, EI EGT, Monroy Traffic watch and a PM1000 four place intercom.

The interior, glass and paint were all redone in 1994 along with the installation of the rear cabin shelf unit. She looks and flies like a new airplane.
