I currently fly a Piper 180 based at Newton Airport (KEWK). I started flying in 1998 but took a brief sabbatical in 2012. My wife Andrea and I decided to purchase a plane to travel on the weekends and found a great little 180 that we love to fly.
Andrea and I have enjoyed most of the destinations we have traveled to, but really enjoy our frequent flights to Bentonville Arkansas (KBVT) . We also enjoyed a long weekend to “The Hangar Hotel” in Fredericksburg Texas.
I hold a SEL Instrument rating but am currently working on my commercial on my way to CFI.
When I am not flying, I enjoy my time with my grandchildren, and spreading the great love of aviation my wife and I have.
Joining the KPA has been a great experience for me. I really enjoy talking with other aviation enthusiasts. The KPA fly-outs have allowed me more opportunities to fly as well as see many places I may have never traveled to.
