I looked at the Florida Wing cadet website today and was surprised to see one of my articles on the front page! I am the cadet Public Affairs Officer for my squadron, and this one was my first article that I wrote. Check it out here: http://www.sercap.us/capmodule/inews/view.asp?ID=290.

Check out this blog: http://ser-fl-315.blogspot.com/. It's kept up by my squadron cadet commander. I was recently appointed to the position of "Public Affairs Assistant" at my squadron, and I've started writing articles for the cadet blog, squadron newsletter, and for submission to the wing and national newsletters. My first two articles you can read on the cadet blog, under the headings of "

I finally got back to the RC field this Tuesday! I brought a new plane for its maiden flight. I've been working on this plane, a Great Planes Rapture 40, for at least 2 months to get it flying. I've had so much going on these last few months i didn't consistently work on it until the last couple weeks. I had a ton of trouble mounting the engine, and then once I had that done, I had to figure

A couple weeks ago we started riding Bug again, and we got a bunch of good pics. Bug was viewed as the "dead horse" at the farm, and everyone was astonished when we started riding him! He seems like he's young again when someone gets on him! The reason why he seemed "dead" to everybody else, is, being blind, he has to be careful when he's walking, so he walks very slowly. When someone's on

This Saturday, I went to the RC Field for the club picnic. I took Markie along for a while to watch the planes. He's a diehard plane nut! I wonder where he gets that? :) Here are a few photos:

Today I went the Civil Air Patrol Orientation Flights in Brooksville, Florida. I had to get up at 5:30 this morning(ugh!). I got there at 7:30 this morning, and got a safety briefing and a seminar on flight line marshaling while the first few cadets went up. For the next few hours, I drilled and drilled and drilled and drilled some more. It was fun! There were about 40-50 cadets from various

This week at Civil Air Patrol, I was promoted to Cadet Airman 1st Class. Boy, was that cool! I also made a presentation about RC airplanes that night. I am arranging an RC fly day for all the cadets in my squadron also. Check out the photos below:

Today we went to the Florida Aquarium, along with our friends, the Brothers. We had so much fun! We touched stingrays, alligators, sharks, and sea stars! We also got to see tons of different land and sea creatures that live in Florida, such as sea turtles, HUGE alligators, snakes, fish of al colors, shapes, and sizes, and many more. Check out the photos below:

Last weekend our family visited Cheaha State Park in Alabama, for the 2nd Southern National Congress. My dad and I volunteered to take pictures and video of the Congress. Cheaha Mt. is the highest point on Alabama, and we were driving in the clouds when we arrived. The photo below is the chairman of the 2nd Southern National Congress, Thomas Moore, signing a copy of his book, The Hunt for

The beginning of the week was very fun for my family and I. We went to Missionary Flights in Fort Pierce (my dad and I do the website and communications for them) for a few days. My dad was working on a grant for their "Repaint N300MF" fund, and didn't bring two computers, so I helped out in the warehouse and the hangar. N300MF is one of MFI's radial engined DC-3s, which had an engine failure

On the 4th of this month, I got my first promotion in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program, from Cadet Airman Basic to Cadet Airman. Check out the photos below, taken by my dad. I'm in the front, on the right in the picture of uniform inspection that night. The other photo is me and the Cadet Deputy Commander, Senior Member Gandee.

Last month, I was in Vermont with my family when I heard some loud airplanes that sounded like high performance aerobatic airplanes. I mentioned it to my grandmother, who said, "Oh no, it's the week of the aerobatic contest. They're so loud and annoying.". When I heard that I knew I had to go. The next day, Thursday, I visited the airport where the contest was being held and found everybody
