Prepare for a great time, Ken. I’ll be there, and I invite everyone at AirVenture to the Able Flight Wings Pinning Ceremony Tuesday at 10 am at Theater In The Woods. #ableflight ableflight.org

Sometimes it’s hard to ignore fools, but in the end it can feel so good to have done so. BTW, by coincidence I
just changed the oil in my Cherokee 180 this past weekend during a break in a long cross country (thanks to a friend for the loan of his hangar for a few hours).

Same here. Mike gave me my first writing assignment before he was hired by AOPA, and then opened the door for me there. Great editor and good friend.
