Up the Creek

The Risks are Still Real

The Risks are Still Real
I recall that I was scared to death the first time I had to fly low level or punch into the clouds at 400 feet. That scared feeling is a natural reaction to a dangerous situation. While we may become desensitized to these situations, the risk is still very real.

Crash Course

Weathering the Storm
I’ll think twice about trying to push into weather, especially when there isn’t a real need to do so. While I am glad to have experienced flying in this type of situation, I hope to never have to go through it again.

Sunrise Surprise

Sunrise Surprise
It was 3 a.m. — time to roll out of bed to get our weekly long run started. Several close calls, however, gave us a running experience I don’t think we’ll repeat. From now on, we’ll adjust our schedules so we can run during daylight hours.
