I began flying small airplanes in 1993 and earned commercial and flight instructor
certificates in 1995. In 1996 I joined the Civil
Air Patrol and in 1998 I was appointed an FAA Aviation Safety
Counselor.
I fly out of nearby airports in Bridgeport, CT; White Plains, NY; and Teterboro, NJ

Favorite aviation web sites:
Airports:
|
Pilot tools: AirNav is a free web site which contains complete FAA Airport/Facility Directory data on all U.S. airports. It also has, for each airport, a list of all businesses (FBOs, flight schools, maintenance shops) at the airport plus nearby hotels and restaurants. This list contains phone numbers, hours of operation, email addresses, and web site URLs. I can't say enough about this site - I use it all the time! ICAO Aircraft Designators for flight plans Fly Away (the $100 hamburger page) DeLorme Eartha Maps will show you a street map for any town in the U.S. with every street and the local airport shown on the map. | |
