“When the police first came up I asked ’em 2-3 times, ‘you’re joking, right?’ But about the time they put me in handcuffs and locked me in the police car… well, I don’t know the law, but I don’t think they’re allowed to joke with handcuffs!”

Where the heck is my watch? I wondered, upon checking my wrist for the current time. Jean and I were dining with aviation author and humorist Rod Machado, his wife Diane, and friends at a Palm Springs, California fly-in.
“So Greg,” said Rod, continuing a conversation in progress, “How was your flight from Phoenix yesterday…?”

Hey Friends, check out “Grand Canyon Confluence” of the Colorado & Little Colorado Rivers, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!
The Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers converge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
Their confluence is notable because the Little Colorado is muddier than the Colorado with different silt, so the water colors of the two rivers are strikingly different where they merge. And the sand bar at their confluence is a popular stop for rafters transiting the Canyon. Few people get to enjoy this aerial perspective of the feature, captured from my Flying Carpet.
Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Grand Canyon Confluence,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

Cross Country Odyssey During the ATC Strike
During the recent longest-ever US government shutdown, airline traffic was restricted at 14 major airports around the country. But you may not know that those same airports closed entirely to General Aviation (“GA”) traffic, meaning non-airline private, and business aircraft. That aborted a plan to pick up friends at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
The experience reminded me of how fortunate we GA pilots are to fly generally open skies. It also reminded me of two previous occasions when our piloting privileges were limited or taken away. Some pilot listeners will remember the pain following the 9/11 terrorist attacks when all general aviation traffic was grounded.
Well, an earlier historical event had a longer lasting effect on general aviation impacting my personal first ever West Coast piloting journey — that’s what this episode is about. Oh, and what a landing at the “Airport in the Sky!”
