Well we had to go down to Lakeland for a family get together. Ken and I decided we would fly down there. I was going to fly both legs. But ended up only taking the return leg. We put the airplane on a battery charger to make sure it was charging over night. Being it was getting down to the low 20’s. This isn’t normal for Florida. We don’t have the hangar heated. So just to make sure the plane would start we put it on a trickle charge.
We got up in the morning and I was looking at the weather. It was a clear day but the winds would peak around noon and... Read more »
Ken did a video of living in an airport community. He did a trip down to Clearwater so he put this video together of the trip. I also helped out in some of the flying and video taping. But Ken put the video together. I think its a well down movie….

Loves Landing Fly-In 2009
EAA Chapter 1236 had our annual fly-in. The weather was beautiful the only problem was the wind. Everyone managed to land safely. It started around 9am. When I got down to the Washburn’s hangar to start taking pictures there were already airplanes there. It was the standard fly-in, but it’s always nice to see people out flying their planes. There were all kinds of planes even one helicopter showed up for the fly-in. We also had a lunch for everyone to have. Everyone had a nice time. Below is the pictures that I took... Read more »
This is a video Ken did of a experience we had out in Utah. We decided to rent a plane to take up to see the Canyon Lands. Well a flight instructor ended going with us. We had a flight with him on board. He knew the area and did things Ken and I wouldn’t have done. We went down in to the canyon!! After the wonderful flight it even got better.
We found out he had a motor glider. He took Ken up first and this is the video of the trip.
I went up also. It was an nice experience. If I get the chance again I will be up in that plane again..

I made it to Sun N Fun 2009 on the last day. I drove from Clearwater Fl. to Lakeland. It took me 1 hour 11 minutes. Not bad for Tampa traffic, but it was on a Sunday. There weren’t a lot of people at the airshow and many of the planes had already flown out the day before.
One of the first things I did was walk up to the Sun N Fun radio station which airs during that whole show and gives interviews. I wanted to meet Dave Allen from Twitter. I had met him through Twitter. He was volunteering there so I had a chance to meet him. We ended up heading out to the flight line,... Read more »
It’s been a while since I have posted anything. I have been working on starting up a business. Well it’s called Kriz Photo. I’m going to take pictures of peoples airplanes and turn them in to “ART” pieces they can put on their walls in their homes and offices. I have already turned out 4 pictures and working on 1 right now. All of them have been great products. I plan on improving the pictures and producing more Airplane Photo Portraits.
Sun N Fun is around the corner, so I hope to promote there. That would be a good place to start. I also have... Read more »
