Here's a report from a local paper. Note that the guy trying to fly to Skyhaven was FORCED to land at Skyhaven, then allowed to depart when the work was done. It's as if the TFR never happened! (Well, apart from his conversation with the FAA.) The second guy, at Sanford, is more interesting. If...

Ok, so one of my partners reserves 2 dorm rooms (no A/C this year) every year for Tuesday - Thursday. This year, however, there are only 3 of us that can make it. So my dilemna: 1. Take the plane up and camp next to the plane while they take the remaining dorm room, and then open up the other...

When one looks at the small gains in airspeed from each existing speed mod kit, you have to say that, for the most part, the original designer got it right. Having said that, I still would like to see the manufacturers do factory cleanups of existing designs, still in production. The Bonanza...

I made a 400+ NM trip from kgyy to Grand Rapids, MN over the weekend and experimented with duats and FSS. In both cases, the IFR flight plan was there when I needed it. I use Duats in conjunction with Jepp's FlightStar planner. It has a wonderful ability to overlay the flight plan with weather...
