Rich Karlgaard is a late bloomer. At least, in terms of aviation.
“I never had an itch to fly until I read a New York Times Sunday Magazine piece called “Turn Left at Cloud 109″ by James Fallows, which appeared on Thanksgiving weekend in 1999,” says Karlgaard. “It was about Cirrus. A couple of days later I did two things: (1) scheduled my first lesson at the West Valley Flying Club; (2) bought a newsstand copy of Flying magazine.”
