I’m excited about this trip because I get to fly deep into South America. I’ve been to Columbia, and that does qualify as a “South American trip”, but I didn’t get to look around and see the topography, terrain, or culture. For this trip I’m going to fly over much of South America and really…
It seems I’ve been picked to fly some pretty incredible ferry flights lately. In the last 45 days I flew a King Air to China, another to India and, most recently, a King Air 350 from Tahiti back to the USA. To illustrate how much I’ve been traveling, I set foot on 21 countries in…

We recently had Kim Coryat come in for recurrent training in her Meridian and it didn’t take long to realize she has a really cool aviation background and has flown some extremely cool aircraft. Anybody who has experience flying in the Air Force and for FedEx is going to have some cool stories…take a listen…
Recently, I got the opportunity to fly in the right seat of a King Air 350 on the way from Fargo, ND to China. It was probably the coolest aviation-related experience of my life and I’m way too eager for the next one to come up. Here’s a report on the trip that Joe and…
On his way to the 2019 MMOPA Convention that’s going on as I type this, Rick Converse stopped at KJSO to get his Tailwheel Endorsement with Joe. After he knocked it out (which took less than two days to accomplish), we sat down with him to talk about his experience with tailwheel training as well…

We’ll go live on iTunes, Spotify, etc. in the very near future, but here’s the first of many episodes of the Casey Aviation Podcast… Podcast #1 – Malibu Ownership Interview with Paul Dube…
There’re lots of reason to love the JetPROP conversion, but one of the best is the fact that it retains the baggage compartment. Absolutely functional, it is a great place to carry additional baggage, throw a bag or two from the aft baggage when countering an aft CG situation, and a handy place to put…
