—NOTICES TO AIRMEN—
I will be joining fellow Pilot-Author-Blogger Karlene Petitt (Flight for Control; Flight for Safety) at Washington Aviation Assn's
February 22-23
Look for the banner, JetStar Publishing
We will be having gobs of fun doing a meet and greet and book signing at our booth!
(View my novels Here: http://amazon.com/author/ericauxier)I'm thrilled for the opportunity to meet you!
Don't forget, that's February 22nd—less than 10 days away!
And now . . .
Coming in at . . .
NUMBER 10
The Cap'n & the Controller
It's "Trading Places" for pilot and air traffic controller in this intriguing series, as blog buddy Brian and I share with each other—and you—life from opposite sides of the microphone.
Part I: Brian takes a jumpseat flight with me to SEA and back, while our smart aleck blog peeps around the world throw one helluva Flight Tracking party!
Part II Major Tom meets Ground Control as we take an eye-opening visit to PHX TRACON (Terminal RAdar CONtrol) and Tower!

My Best Instructional Moments
Our first Blogging in Formation post to appear in this list, wherein six pilot-bloggers wax eloquently about a given topic on aviation.
This post's subject: our most memorable flying lessons learned . . . the hard way.
It begins, "I nearly wet my pants."
'Nuff said!
'Nuff said!
_________________
NUMBER 8
The Sky Fell
(Blogging in Formation: My Most Memorable Flight)
The true story of my most intense flight as a young cheechacko (greenhorn) bush pilot in Alaska.
The extreme experience transformed my flying —and changed my life.
A fictional account of this episode appears in my novel, The Last Bush Pilots.
This post is slated for publication in Airways Magazine this spring.

NUMBER 7
Around the World in 80 Jumpseats
One of the airline pilot's greatest fringe benefits is the ability to travel for free in the extra seat in the cockpit, called the jumpseat. An old favorite article of mine, this was once scheduled for publication in Smithsonian Air & Space, but finally, and inexplicably, scrapped. No matter, Smithsonian, I've got my very own blog, tuvm!

NUMBER 6
Blogging in Formation: The Future of U.S. Aviation
This one was a joy to write, as I let my imagination run wild on just what we can expect in the next 100 years of aviation.
But I do speculate very seriously on what's in store in the next 20 years for today's up and coming pilots, such as Swayne and Karim.
"Looming pilot shortage", you are cleared for takeoff!

NUMBER 5
Blogging in Formation: Aviation History!
You have not heard of Captain Mary Grace Baloyo. But after you clear your eyes from reading this post, you will never forget the Philippine's only female recipient of its highest honor—the Medal of Valor.
As many times as I've read this, I still dab my eyes!

Cap'n Aux Answers Your Avgeek Questions
The 3-part series that turned into 6, nearly every post made the Top 10.
This was a wildly popular series by all accounts!
Here's all six links . . .
Part I: "Cap'n Aux, have you ever had to . . .

And now for the number one post for the year . . .
I started this entry on a whim, while waiting between flights in LAS.
The airport internet sucked, I was growing bored sitting at Starbucks for 3 hours, and feeling kinda crabby.
Normally I'm a positive guy, and really try to drum up enthusiasm for those avgeeks clamoring for a career in this zany biz. But let's face it: any business has its warts, and the airline industry has far more than its share.
It was then that I realized, more than being just a cheerleader, I had a responsibility to help our young, Next Gen pilots come into this business with eyes wide open.
The post that out-scored all others by over 1,000 hits . . .

This whimsical post scored big on the hits, probably just because of its popular theme: Star Wars.

Speaking of Videos, let's wrap up our extravaganza with one last 2013 list—the vids!
I have switched to Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/capnaux) for my vids, but there's still some gems available on the YouTube site:
Cockpit View of SFO 28 Approach:
30 Years in the Life of an Airline Pilot:
Cockpit View of Low Visibility (1/8th mile) Takeoff:
Sunrise at Altitude—more pretty pics, released for Mother's Day!
Torrey Pines—A grizzled Cap'n visits his roots!
And Finally, for my personal favorite vid of 2013. . .
