Slipping the Surly Bonds of Earth

Bolo's a certified (or is that certifiable) airplane pilot!

I currently hold a Commercial Pilot's License with Instrument and Single Engine Land ratings. I was planning on working on a Flight Instructors certificate this year, but moving into and taking care of my new house has started consuming free time.

Normally I fly a Piper Cherokee, either an Arrow or an Archer. I have been known to pilot a Cessna on occasion.

The Grumman Tiger has always fascinated me. I'd like to either spend some time flying one, and perhaps get a "checkout" in it. If you know of any for rent in the vicinity of Madison, WI, USA, please tell me!

Several years ago, I used to own part of an airplane, a Piper Cherokee 140. We spent a lot of time, and 2.5 ratings, together before I had to sell that wonderful plane. If you see N5755U, say "hi" for me!

If you were wondering about the title of this page, it's a reference to a memorable poem, High Flight, by John C. Magee.

Other Pilots

Some of my friends and colleagues also hold pilot's licenses:
