From the Editor
It was a warm day in Southern California when I first took the yoke of a small aircraft. My instructor said jokingly, “if you let go of the grip a bit, we won’t fall out of the sky”. I took his advice, the white knuckles went away and I have been enjoying flying ever since. That first experience soaring over the crowded streets below has stayed with me even more than my first solo or the day I obtained my Pilots License. Through the years, I have had another passion, that of publishing. I have founded six City Magazines, five community newspapers and a variety of published books and digests. In the summer of 2013, I decided to combine two of my passions into one, thus producing aviations first PilotsDigest ®, a publication written exclusively by Pilots for Pilots. I have always enjoyed pilot magazines and I will not be discontinuing my subscriptions to them any time soon. However, I have felt that there has been an un-addressed niche that has gone on for a long-long time when it comes to addressing just the pilots, those that fly on a regular and part-time basis. I liken this group to the comrodery you find in certain other professions and organizations. In my earlier days, I served as a Deputy Sheriff for the County of Los Angeles. The bond I made with those whom I served cannot easily be expressed. Such is my passion and respect for my fellow pilots which make up less than 3% of the adult population of the United States. I look forward to your feedback and not to take away anything from a popular beer commerical, I want to simply say, “This Digest is for you... my fellow pilots.”
