Connecting the dots . . .

[Wing]

Hello,

I'm a pilot who has read Richard Bach books, and bought old aviation magazines with Richard Bach articles, and once stood half-hidden in the crowd at an Oshkosh AirVenture book signing not knowing what I would say if I had joined the long line and made it to the front.

I have however been thinking about flying. And stuff. Connecting dots and seeing what picture emerges. I put some thoughts online last month and would love for some feedback.

No commercials, no banners, no spam, no frames. Just one guy grooving with gravity. One with the wind.

Thank you for you time and consideration,

Hello, Dave.. (sounds a bit like HAL 9000!

I have been looking over your website. My immediate response was: "Wow.. a dreampage! Buddhism AND flying ?!"
I am into both myself, and I think you have done a hell of a job combining the two. I was so eager to write you this response, I didn`t take the time to look at all the stuff, but for now I printed some of it, and I surely will sit down with a cup of coffee and take my time reading it. There was a discussion board in there too, right? Well, it`s definitely added to my favourites. I have been through ATP training, but life decided my career was elsewhere, and today I am mainly buzzing around smaller grassfields in various machines. You know the russian two-seat trainer YAK 52? Great plane, lots of aerobatics and fun, and simulated dogfights with other "airheads". I usually carry a copy of "Illusions", and sometimes a genius of a book, "Zen for travelling", a tiny, beautiful book for casual use. Lots and lots of wonderful summer afternoons in the shade of some wing, sitting around in the grass reading...
Anyways; keep up the good work, your website is nothing short of wonderful. Count me in as a daily visitor. Thanks.

Wow!, Hey Dave that is a very interesting site. I too will visit it. You pilots - sure have a view - from above the clouds. Much different than a cornfield...
smh!
