My husband and I don't belong to a local EAA Chapter, as there isn't one close to us here in Missouri. In spite of that, we've taken almost 1,000 Young Eagles combined. That's not counting the...

Ssmdive, I understand what you are saying. Some of this was discussed in a similar thread here in the past:

Bill, I'm glad to hear that you found the article interesting. :)
When the kids were almost 14, I took them for their first aerobatic ride and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Logan actually filmed...
I was disappointed that Brent Blue didn't show up for his presentation about SI's. Many of us waited over 30 minutes and finally gave up and wandered off.
One summer day while mowing our runways on the old John Deere, I decided to fly around the country (east of the Rockies), exploring grass strips. Grass airfields offer the kind of like-minded people...
Another airport in IL near your route with turf and asphalt is MQB.
8I3 was one of the friendliest grass strips I stopped at on my grass strip tour.
AAA is also near your route, and has asphalt and turf.
Looks like an interesting place! I'm always looking for interesting grass strips. :)
We are at 08MO. Stop by and see us sometime. :)
Here is a video that my nephew made a few years...
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Flying in and out of the corn is really fun. There is another video on my Vimeo page that shows landing and taking off in the corn. It's really a unique...

I've made several videos, most of them while doing aerobatics over the farm...spins, hammers, etc. One of my favorites is this one... Brent and I took a leisurely flight over the farm on a...
I've made a lot of videos over the years...aerobatics (spins, botched hammers, etc.), life at the farm with the airplane, grass strips we've flown to, rides I've given...stuff like that. My...
Paul, I admire how well you do that in your Decathlon. And I would love for you to show 'em how to do it in a Citabria, so I would be glad to loan you mine anytime, including the contest next...
John, I just found an old thread that I started years ago about the Hooker harness on the Pilots of America forum. This was before we recovered the Citabria. Perhaps you can find some useful...
John, we have had Avemco for years and they never asked about competition flying. Avemco gave us a better rate because the Citabria is kept in a hangar and because of our safety record, but they...
Good morning, John. I have several thoughts about that and will post them in segments so the posts won't be so long.
Giles is my hero! I am in awe of him. :) Actually, he was assigned to be my...
Hi John. I have a 1977 7GCAA and I was in a contest a few years ago with my Citabria. Actually, Sport Aerobatics ran an article that I wrote about being in the contest. I can give you a link to that...
I happened to be sitting on the south side of Runway 9, near the registration booth, watching landings when that happened. It was a pretty Cessna 195. The landing looked good, as well as the...
