Sharing both the joys and hazards of flight was what we called "hangar flying." It was the culture of our flight training. I'll never forget the many lessons I learned and still remember to this day that were described from actual personal experiences: the better the story - the easier to remember the lesson. And, the better the instructor - the better was the story. Alex Burton is a great instructor. Enjoy as he shares his personal knowledge of aviation in a manner extremely interesting to both professionals and students alike." Robert B.
