Always interesting to read Jolie’s articles...

From the pic in the article... it looks like there may be an auto gyro option being considered...

Could be some trick photography... :)

Best regards,

Gotta get my squeeze in there!  Hey extra credit to anyone who can identify this "cover girl" airplane

As we begin the New Year, and 2020 flying season, take a self-inventory. How do you think others would describe you in terms of being an example?

Look forward to seeing folks this year.

These are trying times for "Do Something" sort of folks. I hope my new installment for AOPA called Maintaining your Attitude is helpful for you.  See you all out there when it is safe.

Hello all:

Here is my latest AOPA Opinion Leaders piece. This month I consider the differences between achieving and using the instrument rating and commercial certificate. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello Mooney Family

Here is my latest for AOPA Opinion Leaders... this month is on mental health. Check out my checklist for keeping your head in the right place during these trying times. 

Next month I am exploring our personal minimums, if you have any input please send me a PM or email: JolieLucas@charter.net   When I was flying back from Camarillo last weekend the weather went down a bit earlier than forecast [who would of thought] and I ended up shooting the ILS to about 40 feet above minimums.  As I flew home I thought about how my minimums had changed in the past three years since I got my IR.  So hit me up if you have thoughts about how you apply your mins... if you have them... etc.

Hello all, here is my latest installment for AOPA Opinion Leaders. Installment #1 of Into the Alligator's Mouth.

For the next few months this series will center on the psychology of personal minimums. Like most relationships, we will focus why we create them, why we commit them to paper [or not], when we fudge on them, what we learn from them, and what we hope never to again experience.
