Return of the "Slide Monster"


As some of you might remember, 10 years ago I published a local aviation newsletter called Aero Pacific Flightlines. With the help of a couple friends and my wife Judy we published our first eddtion in Sept/Oct 1998 with our last edition May/June 2001. We had lots of fun with our little venture and we learned a lot but due to financial strains and the cost of printing an all color newsletter we unfortunately had to end APL.


This blog is an extension of APL and today I am reviving a favorite from the newsletter "The Continuing Adventures of the Slide Monster" by Matt Cornell. Matt was an original member of the APL staff and during a breakfast meeting yesterday we spoke of APL and the "Slide Monster" and the enjoyment that our readers got from the cartoon. The "Slide Monster" began as a fun poke at one our good friends and developed into fun pokes at all of our friends and some folks that were not. Matt has agreed to do some more adventures as we have a lot to draw from (no pun intended) but until the new adventures begin arriving I will return to the old adventures from Aero Pacific Flightlines...........so enjoy todays first episode.
