About the Author

A pilot since he was a teenager, Tom Haines still gets jazzed about an early flight on a still morning. Any day that starts with a flight is a good day, he says. He joined the AOPA Publications staff in 1988 and became editor in chief in 1994.

Mike Collins, a lifetime East Coaster, loves to fly New York City�s Hudson River Corridor and land at Kentucky State Park airports (never on the same flight, however). Collins holds a private pilot certificate with an instrument rating.

Sarah Deener, a third-generation pilot, has worked for AOPA since 2009. Her favorite flight experience was flying a reproduction of the Wright brothers� 1902 glider.

Tom Horne, a 5,000-hour ATP who has flown everything from ultralights to Gulfstreams, will fly to the Bahamas on the flimsiest of excuses. A spur-of-the-moment flight to Crooked Island in the Bahamas holds a special place in his logbook. That�s where he met his wife, way back in 1997.

AOPA Pilot Senior Editor Dave Hirschman joined AOPA in 2008. He has an airline transport pilot certificate and instrument and multiengine flight instructor certificates. Dave flies vintage, historical, and Experimental airplanes, and specializes in tailwheel and aerobatic instruction.

Al Marsh has flown out of the Frederick area for 20 years but has been in flying clubs in Virginia, including one at Dulles International Airport. He�s an instrument and multiengine instructor and has a commercial seaplane rating, plus an airline transport pilot certificate.

Alyssa Miller is an active flight instructor and Cessna 170 owner. Since going for her first flight out of a grass strip in a taildragger at the age of 2, Alyssa has had a love of flying with friends and family.

Jim Moore took a shine to aerobatic competition in 2012 and has all but abandoned tricycle-gear aircraft as a result. He earned his private certificate in 2005, an instrument rating in 2011, and has logged about 400 hours.

Jill W. Tallman is an instrument-rated private pilot who loves flying to the beach�any beach�in her Piper Cherokee 140.

Ian J. Twombly thinks he may have aviation attention deficit disorder. His interests range from antiques to helicopters and modern composite speedsters to low and slow in a Piper Cub.
