Jim, Newsletter and WebPages editor.
Jim did not enjoy his first ride in dad's Taylorcraft BC-12D at the age of 5. By age 8 he was comfortable putting his hands on the controls during the family's annual X-C flight to Kansas. Became an airport bum at age 12 when parents opened a flight school; washing planes and watching the mechanic. Didn't solo until 24th birthday, did the solo X-Cs, then put flying away again to; 1) go back to college, 2) move to Hanford, CA, to start a career teaching kindergarten through fifth grades, 3) buy a house, etc.
That essential stuff taken care of, he obtained his private pilot certificate in dad's T210, driving 4 hours each way to fly it. Jim was just about to buy his own 182 when dad gave up being PIC, but had no luck selling the 210 in the 1987 market, so Jim took over the 210 instead of buying his own 182. Dad was happy because he got to enjoy the 210 an extra 16 years.
Jim has done the majority of the work on it, still rolling along on a creeper
to clean a plane's belly and up on a ladder to get the top.
