Re: I am need of some aviation writers

The one professional aviation writer I knew passed away some time ago, and I am not a pro. I am, however, a long-time pilot (about 48 years). Being retired now, I sometimes write novels which don't seem too bad, though I am non-published. With over 18,000 hrs. flying time, there is the possibility I might help you in some way if you so wish. I wish you the best of luck with your new publication. I received the introductory copy in my mail and was favorably impressed. Perhaps you can supplant "Flying" with something more substantial. I hope so.

I think Marthen Lunken and Lane Wallace are great writers that tell great stories. Have no idea if they can help, they write for Flying mag.

Mountain Flying.. For my money, you can't go wrong by calling Walter "Wally" Miller in Colorado Springs (719.488.8142). He's has one of the finest approaches to safe mountain flying I know of. He has a very extensive pedigree when it comes to mountain flying. I think he contributes to AOPA Pilot. Please be sure to tell him that I recommended you call him.

emptyhangar.com?

Has anyone ever heard of emptyhangar.com? I stumbled across the website a week or so ago while browsing for hangar space and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the company. It seems to be a pretty good idea but wondered if anyone has used their service. The company claims to make "efficient use of all hangar space at destination airports across the country." They are connected to the NBAA so it seems pretty legitimate. Any thoughts?

Not that it's any help but I met the guy that runs this website and he seems like a stand up guy.

Does anyone know of any legit sponsors for aviation scholarhips. I've got a glider rating seeking a SEL, in college full time so I'm pretty much broke. I know I can google it but was just wondering if anyone had some useful info. Thanks
