There’s been lots in the news lately about possible extraterrestrial visits from other planets, other galaxies. And whether the government has been covering it up. In particular, many reports have revealed sightings from airplane cockpits.
So when a friend messaged the other day, asking whether I’d ever experienced UFOs or even extraterrestrials in the course of flight, I was reminded of an incident Jean and I experienced years ago in the Flying Carpet. You might call it “Flying Carpet Meets Flying Saucer.”
So climb into the Flying Carpet. Buckle up your seat belts. And prepare for takeoff on Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #35. “Flying Saucer!”
Hey All, many of you own my Views from the Flying Carpet Fine Art Metal Prints and Wall Calendars, and I wanted to share a pretty cool order I just fulfilled.
Our regional hospital system recently ordered 85 of my Fine Art Metal Prints to recognize longtime employees at their annual holiday gathering. Each recipient was offered their choice of the following images, Red Rock Sedona & the San Francisco Peaks,Sunset Rains, and Inner Basin Aspens, in three large sizes.
Mighty exciting for a guy addicted to flying around with a camera in my hand!

How many pilots have seriously considered the safety implications of unexpectedly losing GPS navigation in flight? Well it happened to us, in clouds over remote and rugged terrain, and as you’ll hear, the risks are thought-provoking at best, and potentially deadly without forethought, positional awareness, and preparation…

“I just finished listening to [this episode] – while driving and LAUGHED Out Loud! OMG, I don’t know [which part] was funnier…😂 It’s a great reminder to all of us that there is so much more adventure as GA pilots beyond the requirements. And you can quote me on that.” — Dorothy Schick, longtime Flight Instructor and Flight School Owner:
Well here’s a nice honor. Forest Highlands Golf Club’s racquet director and a key tennis volunteer invited me to provide a 40″x60″ “Mountain Sunflowers” Fine Art Metal Print for the club’s beautiful new tennis facility. Thank you, FHGC!!
“Mountain Sunflowers” was photographed at adjacent Kachina Wetlands and features summertime wild sunflowers framing Arizona’s tallest mountains, the San Francisco Peaks.

One thing I’ve learned over many years of piloting is that rarely can we plan a flight, take off, and then not have to think about anything until we reach our destination.
More often than not, circumstances arise before takeoff and en route that require planning, strategy, and tactics to deliver us safely to our destinations. A big part of this, too, is being prepared to land at any point… To turn around. To divert to an inconvenient airport that might even be unattended. But if we’re not willing and able to make smart decisions “on the fly,” we cannot safely fly around in potentially marginal weather.
This episode’s flight was great piloting adventure because we did not know over the entire three-hour flight whether we would make our destination.
But when I discussed this flight with pilot friends afterwards, including some very experienced ones, I discovered that in the course of it I’d unwittingly done something innovative and useful—an integration of new technology with what we’ve always done. Whether pilots or not, I think you’ll find it interesting.
Okay, everyone, grab your logbooks, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, snug up your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “iPads & Icing!”
