In Running With Man's Best Friend, by Davia Anne Gallup, Alpine Publications, 1986, Kerries are rated as 'good' runners, out of the categories 'fair,' 'good,' 'superior.' I quote: Dogs with a "Good (G)" rating make fine running partners, but may be less capable of running daily or for long distances. I advise no more than 18-25 miles per week. Running five days a week, this is equivalent to 4 or 5 miles a day.

A large part of general aviation flying is done in airplanes that pilots rent at their local airport. Rental fees are normally computed on the basis of specified dollar amount per hour. The fee normally covers everything, including fuel, oil and insurance on the airplane. Aircraft leasing is also a popular method of flying without buying, especially by business organizations. There are tax advantages to buying your own airplane and then leasing it to a flying club.

I like the contrast between all the communities one meets in the mountains. For that one really needs to go long-distance. I also struggle to maintain my fitness when not walking, and suffer when I restart. That means longer walks give me more pleasure for the amount of effort and preparation required. Ok - I love long walks as well!

Building an airplane and flying one have little or no relationship to each other. Please remember this. You must ask yourself, "What do I REALLY want to do". Are you a builder or a flyer or both? Many people are drawn to the Mini-IMP because the sleek appearance appeals to their fantasy of being a fighter pilot. This is all well and good, but is not the best motivation to be able keep to the long-term task of building an airplane.

Transient tie-downs are available at mid-field, east of the Chevron fuel island. Tie-down fee is a few dollars per night. If you prefer -- and if space is available -- I can look into hangaring your airplane elsewhere, subject to availability and price.

As you learn to fly step by step, you'll find your training enjoyable and challenging. Although airplanes have been a part of our society for more than 85 years, most people have only a vague idea of the basic principles of flight. Flight may seem complicated, but in fact it's based on some simple laws of nature.

Initially, an airplane is easier to fly. A helicopter is less stable and will not fly if the pilot takes his or her hands off the controls. However, once you get the feel of it, it is like riding a bicycle - you do it without thinking.

quot;I have been known to drive 1,200 miles in less than 36 hours in order to make a presentation. Naturally though, my schedule does not allow such adventures very often. I have flown as far south as Argentina and as far west as Australia to deliver a presentation. I welcome travel and the variety this brings to my life. Suffice it to say that I "have presentation…and will travel".

It is safe to fly after laser vision correction surgery but your eyes may be more dry than normal and require frequent use of artificial tears. Most people have mild irritation for a few hours after LASIK surgery. Some people compare it to wearing dirty contact lenses. Tylenol may help. Also, the eyedrops your surgeon will recommend will be helpful too. We suggest patients go home and relax with their eyes closed for a few hours after laser vision correction surgery.
