I remember one of his Barnstorming rants from when he was leaving
Sport Pilot to go out on the airshow circuit. How he had plans to write
a book and it was, in his words going to be a Pulitzer winner. Well
there was never an airshow or a Pulitzer. However I do know that into
the 90's his telephone answering machine message was "if you are
calling to book an airshow I'm booked through the next year".
A favorite of mine is when zzzzoom was getting ready to publish his
Sportplane Resource Guide. He went on a fishing trip for info from the
Aerocrafters folks. He wanted to find out just how many of the books
they printed. Well needless to say they were up on him and gave him a
number several times what the real print run was. Knowing that he could
always do better than anyone else he added a few thousand to that
inflated number. My best guess is that nearly 10 years later he still
has quite a few left.
