Having just returned from a 3-day motorcycle camping trip, the riding experience is once again fresh in my mind. (Alas, I don't get to ride much nowadays; but there was a time when Mary and I rode coast-to-coast...) I'm always struck by the similarities between riding and flying. Basically,...

After 6 years of Mooney ownership I'm doing my first owner assisted annual. Most of my previous annuals have been done by factory service centers. I'm quite a good wrench around cars so this experience is mostly about me learning the standards & practices of aircraft work. I'm amazed by a couple...

Can anyone suggest a good Baja destination within 400nm of Phoenix? Looking for good beaches, good snorkeling and decent facilities. Thanks, Dan

What in your view are the easiest and hardest aspects about flying? I mean in the phase between takeoff and touchdown, so the obvious "taxiing" doesn't count :) Hardest would be countering windshear on finals or flying IFR through a storm at low altitude, I'd imagine. Hoping this thread gets...

Jay, I didn't have Montblack's email address, please check your email and forward for me if you could. Much appreciated. Once you see what I sent, you'll see what a bummer the way things turned out, and I thought the hard part would be telling my SO that I was gonna go play with the boys for a...

Any recommendations for flying into Hyannis (KHYA)? It's in my plans for next week. I have to admit: I'm a little worried about it. I saw on the Jepp plate that one must contact airport ops, before shutdown, for an escort. That doesn't sound friendly. Thanks... Andrew

As a rather new VFR pilot with only 122 hours, I have not ventured far from my home bases. I am planning a trip down to the keys and back. But I would like to return along the east coast back to Jax. Capt. Doug suggested that it's easiest to stay at 1000' or less and follow the beach. Just north...

I have a room in Taylor Hall that I will $hare. Rooms are AIR CONDITIONED in this dorm only. UW-OSH dorms are two miles from the field. Shuttle buses, which run frequently, pick up near to the dorm site. I'm using one of the beds. Other bed (and possible air mattress on floor) is available. Sat...

I just got back from a business trip to K.C., and had the opportunity to stay in the downtown area. Driving in on highway 29 South from the airport, towards downtown, took us right by the downtown airport, as what looked like a Malibu was taking off. It was such a cool site, taking in the...

While fooling around with google maps API, I wrote a small script to display all the airports I have flown into, extracted directly from my electronic logbook. I thought it was pretty cool, and it was very easy to implement. http://www.sarangan.org/aviation/airports_visited.html
