"Your FLYING LESSONS comments and weekly accident updates are much appreciated and well received by my two flying sons and me. I know you might say you're just doing your job, but you're doing your job very, very well."--Buzz Tarver, aircraft owner, Lakeland, FL

"I get your weekly summary via the musketeermail net. I'm a retired airline captain with over 35,000 hours, now flying a simple Sundowner. I REALLY like your summary 'piston reports' and 'lessons learned'.
Thanks!"-- David Whitley, aircraft owner, Covington, KY

"Your safety work on the weekly mishap report is excellent. It gives us all a moment to think and hopefully analyze our own techniques so that we don't repeat the mistakes and become a statistic ourselves."

--Max Grogan, aircraft owner, Knoxville, TN
