Welcome to WhyFly !

As you’ll see, we're much more than an “online aviation magazine.” We're a multi-media experience with a very different focus from most of what's out there.
We know you’ll enjoy what you read, see, and hear ... and we look forward to having you as a member of our ever-expanding Why Fly family!
If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us.
Welcome aboard!
Glenn Norman, Michelle Goodeve, and Francois Dumas

Letter From The Editor
Happy Holidays to all our loyal, Why Fly visitors from Michelle Goodeve and me. Right off the top, our sincere thanks to Francois Dumas for keeping Why Fly alive (both technically and content-wise). And right after that – sincere apologies for the overly-long delay in getting Why Fly really moving…
Happy Holidays !!!
Although things have gone quiet a bit lately, alright MORE than a bit, we are still very much here and preparing for a more lively 2011! We’ll be getting there, for sure 🙂 Meanwhile, Nina, my dear wife of many decades and myself would like to wish all of you…
Interview With Michelle
A Dream Come True

That’s the title of ‘Navman’s’ latest column (click on ‘columns’ along the top of the screen). And yes, we’re continuing WhyFly and celebrate that with this new column! As you may or may not know Nina and yours truly visited the US in October and November and I will be reporting on WhyFly about the aviation part of that visit.
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO WHY FLY?
Regular visitors to Why Fly will no doubt have noticed a dearth of new content in recent weeks.
Does this mean Why Fly is dead? By no means.
Editor’s Update
“Post Hack-Attack” update from Why Fly Editor, Glenn Norman.
WhyFly is back alive!
Dear members, supporters and readers, Why Fly’s website was attacked by a Russian made malware virus on August 15th. Together with 10 other sites of the 31 I currently run and manage. It was able to get in because of 3 seconds inattentiveness from yours truly. And it has cost…

Regular visitors to Why Fly will know all about Glenn Mathews, but now it’s time for his wife to shine. Kate Beckett has been putting her camera to good use as of late, and has kindly agreed to share some of her Images with Why Fly. We’re pleased, and proud, to welcome out latest Contributor to “The Why Fly Family.” Here’s Kate’s first Photo Essay of the recent Fly-In at Arlington, Washington, U.S.A.
From the Editor’s Desk
‘Acting as Glenn’ I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the new content we’ve posted over the past weeks, even though it is summer time and some of us are traveling or busy in other ways. But first of all let us thank you for coming back…

From The Editor’s Desk
As some of you will have noticed, there appears to have been a dearth of new material during the past week.
Sincere apologies. Our I.T. Director (C.O.O. & Co-Pilot) François Dumas is on vacation in Italy, and the briefings he gave before departing don’t appear to have sunk in.
I can say this with some confidence after spending 3 hours trying to post my latest “Fearless” column and about the same time attempting to update the “Update!” box on the right.
Nevertheless:
a) François got in touch from Italy and straightened out my column. (Click on the “Columns” tab above, then slide right from “Fearless” to “Virtually Flying” {a tribute to our Flight Sim Members}.)
b) François should be back at his summer home in France Sunday evening, so we should be “returning to normal” in the early part of next week.
Meanwhile, as I have learned how to “Post,” I’ll take this opportunity to let you know what’s been recently updated, what’s about to be posted, and what’s “Coming Soon.”
Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear (Episode 16) “The Winter Wonderland Flying Circus”
In Episode #16: Originally planned as “Enter Richard Bach,” Glenn changed the title to “The Winter Wonderland Flying Circus” for reasons which will soon become obvious. The original title will now apply to a later Episode, when Richard really did enter Glenn & Michelle’s lives in a most unusual way. But right now – let’s go Barnstorming … in the Canadian winter!
