This isn’t my first blog, nor even my first time blogging about aviation. I’ve been writing about aviation since 2007, though those posts have been buried on my personal website and didn’t receive a lot of traffic. My posts have been about my experiences learning, teaching, and just plain flying. I’ve expressed my opinions on various aviation (and other) topics and offered tips and insight to other pilots.
Recently I decided to republish those posts on a dedicated aviation blog, and thus “Fly With Mark” was born. While this site does have information about hiring me as an instructor, the primary purpose is to inform, educate, and entertain people with aviation-related articles and content. Even though most of the initial content of this site was published elsewhere first, it’s all written by me. For the sake of continuity, I’ve left the original publication dates on the old articles, though I have edited them to clean up typos, add/fix links, and, in some cases, note outdated information.
I will try to publish new articles on a regular basis, weekly or more often if possible. I’ll cover topics on flight training, safety, advocacy, and entertainment. I’ll also answer reader questions and address issues facing pilots and others working in general aviation.
