Captain's Log

Captain's Log is the true story of a commercial airline pilot. I have logged more than 20,000 hours over 25 years. I have fought a war, delivered humanitarian relief, supported the U.S. President on visits to foreign lands, flown over 100,000 people like you, safely, to destinations large and small. I want to share normal, boring, odd, hilarious, and seat-of-the pants flying experiences. I thank you for your trust in me and humbly tell you my story.
