I'd thought I'd like to document the process of purchasing a warbird.

The process began with a ride in an Aero L-39.

It really got me thinking.

Before I got my pilot's license, I received a gift certificate at one of those Air Combat places. I had a blast! I think it was the motivation to start flying. The flight in the L-39 reinforced the idea that I loved going upside down. It also raised a few questions: What did I want to get out of flying? What would the mission be? How much could I afford?

The odyssey begins ...
