I've had interest in aviation for a number of years, my uncle was a
pilot and co-owned a New Jersey civil aviation airport for a number of
years. He had a neighbor for a number of years who not only had a
barn full of ultra lights and other cool stuff but a grass strip.

I currently have a friend doing a home build program and fixing up
another 1960s era light plane.

I never got around to taking flying lessons but probably ought to
since it keeps coming back into my life some way or another!

I figured I would subscribe here and mainly lurk, fascinating stuff.
