De Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk
First Impressions: How can you not love an airplane with the name Chipmunk! More than just a cute rodent name, however, the “Chippie”...
Kris has over 26 years and 6,500 flight hours in everything from gliders to supersonic fighters. He loves aircraft of all sorts but especially taildraggers, seaplanes, and warbirds. He was asked not long ago to share his observations of the flying qualities and performance of a friends’ new airplane. He flew the plane a few times and jotted down some notes and later wrote them down in his own unique style. He repeated this for a few other aircraft and each time he was told that the write ups were “spot on”! The bonus is that Kris actually enjoyed it! The adventure of flying and learning new aircraft never gets old and he loves to share these experiences through his Plane Impressions.
