Sorry for not keeping everyone posted about the TSA's public hearing. Due to the nasty weather, slippery roads, and delayed trains, I was not able to make it out to Chicago. I did however write a short essay about the matter and submitted it electronically as a public comment. I am also going to send a letter to my local congressman about the issue. Below is my reasoning why the TSA's Large Aircraft Security Program is a bad thing: Read More >>

It’s not very often we have our opinions on government-related things heard. It is even more rare that anything is done about an opinoin. I feel very lucky and excited to be able to share my opinion to not only other people but to express it to people who can do something about it.

God do I love flying. I got the opportunity to go up today despite a tight work schedule. That is one thing I really love about flying at Westosha: their flexibility. I talked to Dana last night about flying and he said that he would keep a slot open for me if I got the opportunity to go flying. I got to the airport, preflighted the plane, then returned to the flight office to brief on the days flight. Today was all about stalls. We focused on the most common situations where stalls occur: the traffic pattern. Read More >>

Hello everyone! Let me start off by saying how happy I am to be blogging for AOPA and LetsGoFlying.com. Both are awesome resources for pilots, student pilots, and people interested in learning to fly. Let me start of with my name. My name is Evan Krueger and I am a student pilot. I am a sophomore at a high school just a little North West of Chicago, Illinois. Aviation is my number one passion in life by far. I love the feeling of traveling in three dimensions. Read More >>
