and see what you find... in images! I know everybody has already pulled up all the records on their plane, but try this, Google your N number, then click images. When I did this, I found this cool composite picture of me and my plane photographed, put together and posted on the internet by a complete stranger, without my knowledge. That's me at Merced airport (KMCE) about two years ago. B)

I do this from time to time. Surprisingly, after going to SNF and flying 5000+ feet along 9R at 15' agl before they let me land, no one posted any photos. But I did find a video of myself and a Cherokee landing nearby for a small airshow and chicken dinner.

I did that a few years ago and found this

I have been in contact with the author he didn't own the plane but did some instruction in it with the owner and borrowed it on occasion. 

It is kinda neat finding historical tidbits about your airplane.

I've done that before.  Came up with this cool picture of me on my long instrument cross-country in my former plane.  I know because that's the only time I went to the Joplin airport in that plane.

I found several pics of my plane including two from different OSH trips and one from an overnight enroute to OSH.  I have heard of "plane spotting" and "trainspotting" but didn't think our piston singles merited that much attention!

I've landed with camera crews beside the runway, but they still have not posted any pictures of me . . . Guess they wanted someone else.

Yeah, I didn't know either. Only problem is, in the caption, or notes on my picture above, I'm incorrectly identified as a Mooney M20P.

That's just the ATC designation for all non-turbo M20's.

I have several photos from Osh, I also made the Osh Kosh video in 2006 with my Mooney, and again in 08 in the Aztec i was partnered in for a few years.

Here's one of my departures from WWD with family three years ago. Someone was spying from behind the fence!

Pete -- they weren't spying. They were just a little vertically challenged. Didn't you hear the videographer yell "Ze Plane, Ze plane" and ringing a bell in the background? For you young guns:
