Jolly Roger Aviation

My flying career started when I joined the Navy in 1995. I flew T-34s, T-45s and the F/A-18 A/B/C/D/G models before entering the airlines in 2006. I’ve been flying the Boeing 737 for 16 years.

I started researching and soul searching everything from building my own RV-14 to a Kitfox, a Duke to a Debonair. The one thing I realized is whatever I end up with, it needs to be fast!

Enter the Lancair Legacy. Since the kits aren’t offered any longer, I decided to start searching for a used Legacy, easier said than done! Well I finally found one and it’s right in my back yard! This channel will take you on my journey as I transition from fighter & airline pilot back to the roots of general aviation. To be honest, it’s intimidating! I haven’t flown a piston powered aircraft in over 27 years! I’ve never flown a constant speed prop! It’s time, let’s Gooooooo!
