OTHER FLIGHT DIMENSIONS

if one views only the photos posted on this page, one could be forgiven for thinking that the author is a hardcore, militaristic type. the reality is much more diffuse and diverse. i've been studying flying for ten years, and am attracted to a variety of aircraft, ranging from small GA (general aviation) private planes to gliders to helicopters to LSAs (light sport aircraft, a new FAA category) to warbirds both ancestral and modern. here are a few examples:
