Winter is alas now upon us - here in upstate NY, temps in the week ahead will never crack 30.
So what better way, fellow propheads, than to scan the skies for things to think about as we don our 'kerchiefs and caps for our long winter's nap?

Downside of the story is a landing accident involved a renter of that very same ship: The nosegear collapsed, totaling the airplane! Bummer...but it was insured and nobody was seriously hurt, sez Doug.

He's a Real Everywhere Man: Our good friend and Light Sport virtuoso Dan Johnson has been a busy boy lately, fleeing the advancing snowflakes of his longtime Minnesota home with bride Randee to take up fulltime snowbird status at none other than Spruce Creek aviation community: lucky dawg.

It's in the latest issue of Light Sport and Ultralight Flying, published by another good friend Tracy Knauss, whom I first met as a contributor to his Glider Rider magazine (for hang glider drivers), back at the dawn of time. Tracy, a man of many talents and master of them all, puts out a very nice book that sport pilots should check out, expecially if you're also interested in ultralight flying.
Back to Dan: This guy's everywhere! He also just completed the first organized international flight of a group of LSA to the Bahamas (our own Publisher Mike McMann went on that trip -- I couldn't make it, boo hoo), and Dan also wrote a nice piece for GA News on Able Flight, a volunteer org that helps disabled folks get air time.
Mike Zidziunias of Breezer Aircraft put the whole Bahamas thing together and it was a big success.
