This book is the documented record of flying small aircraft over a fifty-four-year period as a FAA certificated private pilot. With exceptions for the eighteen married years that I flew very little (or not at all), each chapter tells of the yearly flying experiences for the calendar years beginning with 1956 and ending with 2010. I used notes recorded in my log books to recall memories of the flights. Now retired after a thirty-eight-year career with McDonnell Aircraft Co., then McDonnell-Douglas Corp., then Boeing (as the names changed), my career began as a FAA certificated airframe and powerplant mechanic with Ozark Airlines based in St. Louis, Missouri. Four years of the ten-year period I worked for Ozark were on a military leave of absence while I served in the U.S. Air Force. Frequently, I tell of related incidents and stories of interest that relate to the particular time period. Piloting airplanes was not my career choice; however, being active as an airplane mechanic complimented the flying activities nicely. The FAA has recognized my contributions to building and maintaining the safest aviation system in the world by presenting me with the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award for fifty years as a pilot, and by also presenting the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award for fifty years as an A&P Mechanic. Another branch of the FAA was not so complimentary, however, as my flying days ended abruptly in 2011 when the FAA Medical Center denied my third class medical certificate over a series of very trivial issues and multiple letter exchanges. The details are documented in the epilogue of my book.
