  1. I wondered if you have read Hidden Warbirds: The Epic Stories of Finding, Recovering, and Rebuilding WWII's Lost Aircraft by Nicholas A. Veronico. Saw my first warbird at Oshkosh.

    2. There are three imperatives for adopting a safety management system for a business – these are ethical, legal and financial.

  2. THANK YOU for sharing the article about accuracy in media. Especially now that anyone can put anything on the internet, accuracy becomes that much more critical because we need to stem the tide of bogus reporting. everyone thinks they're an expert, but so few truly are. Great article by Rob!

  3. First up: I'm not too keen on armchair pilots, armchair travellers etc. and sometimes you make me feel a bit of an armchair person, which is a bit confronting but motivates me to do more. Secondly: my perspective on inspiration....I have wondered why respect doesn't always result in inspiration, I think it is because the "respect gradient" is not balanced, where this gradient has quality, distance and slope. Your quality of conduct and achievements are amazing but your manner reduces the length and slope of the respect gradient so that you are close to people. Regardless of the theory, you are truly inspirational! And CONGRATULATIONS on finishing the first part of your PhD.

  4. Karlene, Rob directed me to your site and boy am I glad! I just got my student pilot license and I'm glad to find other women in the field aspiring to such heights! Thanks for being an inspiration and making your story known.

  5. Karlene, I've been a corporate and airline pilot for many years. I found your 767 single engine advice very helpful as I'm training for that aircraft now. It appears you have an impressive background, Have you read the most important book ever written? The Bible? Do you have a relationship with Jesus, the Creator of the universe! Going on the flight into eternity will be the most important one you'll ever take so do be prepared for a flight to success! Dave

  7. Hi Karlene, I would love to get involved in the blogging in formation team. I am a bush pilot that currently flies in Papua and I could bring a different perspective to the topics bought up. I'm sure you have heard about the crazy incident/accident stats in Papua (3 per month)
