Frequent Flyers

Morgan Hurler

The six guys pictured on my home page — labeled Frequent Flyers — are the people I fly with the most. (I’ve redesigned the site since I wrote this. The six guys are Doug Traub, Mike Nadler, Dave North, Bruce Crawford, Gary Morgan and me. You can see most of us at the bottom of this page or browse the Faces pages to see everyone.)

Most weekday mornings, Doug, Mike, Dave and I fly together at Baylands (except in winter, when Doug rents a cabin in the mountains and skis). The others show up once or twice a week.

Bruce has to drive an hour to get to Baylands. Gary has a day job: he runs a CNC machine shop. Bob has other stuff to do.
