About Us
Daydreaming,
As a younger man I was forever being admonished for daydreaming
in school. Well in as much as daydreaming did not serve me well
in the public school system, it has certainly spawned many interesting
life experiences. I owe my interest in aviation to my uncle who
introduced me to the fascinating world of flight when I was twelve
years old. He had bought me two RC Modeler magazines and told me
not to ask any more questions until I had read them cover to cover.
Well, I not only read them cover to cover but I wore the numbers
off the pages thumbing through those magazines
and I was forever
hooked.
Since that time I have survived/participated in military aviation
in the Marines, experienced the complex manufacturing process of
building transport category aircraft. Worked as an Airframe &
Power-plant mechanic, with IA privileges, charter pilot and check
airman, corporate pilot, and along the way I was even able to collect
eleven world speed records in the Citation X. Finally tried to settle
down to fly for the airlines but 911 intervened so Im back
flying corporate for now. I still daydream, but now I daydream of
being at home on the lake in the company of family, friends and
fellow aviators; even while Im on the other side of the planet
flying into places most people cant find on the map.
This community that Mr. Williams and I are trying to create may
not be for everyone, but once you experience the clean living and
pleasant nature of this area its hard to get it out of your
mind. Come see us, the air is always clean, the people are always
friendly and the welcome mat is always out.
Respectfully,
Darrin Adkins
