    That was my day today; down to get my car serviced in Phoenix and then over to Turf Soaring and visits with old friends and it was nice to see that they had gliders up in the air … I could visualize me and friends coming back from long cross country flights and crossing the field at 120 or more knots at very low altitude and then trading all that energy for altitude and doing an abbreviated pattern and landing … and one close soaring buddy who would always throw the canopy open and yell “I’m alive”!!! Most of the crowd that used to fly out of there have moved on to other fields and some have quit flying altogether, but Turf Soaring at Pleasant Valley Airport in Peoria was home to me and many others in the 90’s and early 2000’s. 2nd photo a friend took of me as I was coming across the field at about 130 kts in my HpH 304CZ 17.43m ship – fun stuff!

    Then it was over to Lake Pleasant where we used to keep our Motorhome and it is still a beautiful park … took a long walk along the shore and got some photos from places I used to shoot including the one that is attached tonight. The beautiful drive home, a stop at the Hilton for some mellow music that Anthony was playing and the usual steak burger sans bun with cheddar cheese, bacon and mushrooms, side salad and ice tea. A very nice day!

    No email tomorrow night as I am taking a short trip over to California to see some friends tomorrow and then home Friday … will get a photo out Friday night instead. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for airport days on Saturday the 19th at the Sedona airport … neat aircraft (including mine) on display and rides in a B-25 WWII bomber. That is a very cool ship and check out the history of the aircraft online.

    Have a beautiful day … a few hours’ sleep and then on the road …

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
