We winter in Arizona and the initial thought was to take s... Read More »

Julie Vessigault considers KAUN, Auburn Municipal Airport, Auburn, California her home airport. I’m not a pilot yet. I chase planes. I clean planes. Sometimes I get to tinker on planes. Sometimes I get to ride in planes. So many people learned to fly in the J-3 Cub. I wish that was still a practical way to learn. Taildraggers do the best aerobatics! (Side note from Judy: Seems we should let ... Read More »
