John Olson commented on John Olson's picture.This was just one of forty thank-you letters I got from an elementary school class where I did a demonstration about twenty years ago. The exercise was to draw a picture and write a note using the word 'appreciate'. It was tough to choose the best ...

About
Even though I am a weight-shift CFI I'm one of those guys who sees the new FAA Sport Pilot license as totally unnecessary, we already had licenses for those who wanted them, now we've got a license and a bunch of useless rules for those who don't. We already had a complex license that allowed for flight in controlled airspace. What we needed was a simple license that kept us out of controlled airspace. The FAA Sport Pilots rules are just the latest example of bureaucracy for the sake of a few bureaucrats, who can now ride a gravy train into a retirement pension funded by the likes of you and I of course, without having to actually contribute anything useful to society. Way to go guys!
I have written three novels- the first novels to feature trikes and hang gliders that I know of, but I am just getting started. If I live long enough I intend to write a novel that takes aim at our Federal bureaucracy, in an attempt to illustrate how the Feds destroyed an industry and took the ancient dream of flight away from the average American. I see the FAA crap as just another example of how our rights are being chipped away in favor of government. If you have any stories or examples of how the Feds fucked it all up please forward them to me. Stay tuned! www.TalesFromTheWildBlueYonder.com

by jeff trike 1 year agoOle,
I tried sending you a message, but it crashed so I'll try this way.
I see versions of your book on Amazon, "Living Dangerously" and "Recipes for Disaster". Are the stories different, or just different cover art? Are you cranking out a serial?
I read through all your stories that you used to post on your webpage until a year ago. But they are gone now, so I guess I'll shell out some cash to read them.
