    Outstanding story of an unusual introduction to GA flying and overcoming fear

    Are high vs low wing preferences generic or colored by specific designs?

    Flying pictures worth sharing.

    Dallas isn't terribly scenic, but here's Fair Park with the State Fair of Texas opening this weekend.
