Just wondered how many of you Canadian pilots fly your GA aircraft down into US and how much problems you have with US entry/customs?

We're planning to fly into West Yellowstone airport (WYS) in a Grumman AA-5 Traveler with stock engine. The landing and takeoff will be about 200lb under gross and we plan to take off in early morning. Densitiy altitude is of course a major concern. Has anyone flown to that airport in similar...

Rick and I flew our Cardinal south for a paint job with AOGPaint in Mena, Arkansas last Sunday. The $6K saving and the opportunity to gain some long cross-country instrument flying experience was definitely worth the hassle. Our departure time was delayed by the Northeast heavy downpour...

Hi, I will be flying out of JFK on 18 April at 400P and returning to JFK on 30 April at 725P. I'm thinking of flying my Archer from Cleveland to somewhere in the area (no, I don't want to go into JFK, ha ha) and leaving her there for the couple of weeks. Any suggestions will be appriciated. I...

Bought an old Percival Sea Prince (twin engine with approximately 2,000 pounds useful with full fuel. This might turn into an academic exercise only, but would really like to save on car rental, hotel and restaurant costs when traveling. I've already figured out the transportation portion with a...

Has anyone seen any comparartive statistics of flying versus driving...either as deaths per 100,000 miles or deaths per 100,000 hours. -Sami

Hey all... awhile back I posted about my proposed flight from Virginia to southeast Alaska (specifically, Juneau). I used to live there so I'm aware of the weather potential. I'm thinking of staging from the interior of BC (Atlin, perhaps) and coming down Taku inlet or White pass if the weather's...

I am going to need to travel to Arlington, VA (Ballston area) on business fairly often. Does anyone have any tips on the best and nearest general aviation airport to fly into. I am looking for something that is as close as possible. Reagan would be ideal, but I expect that they have either...

I plan to fly out of JFK (commercial) in April and find that a connecting flight from CLE is difficult. So what if I fly my Archer to somewhere near JFK ( I sure don't want to land there and they don't want me to). Any Ideas on where would be a good place to keep the plane for a couple of weeks...

What is the minimum legal distance (altitude) to fly VFR under a Class B "wedding cake"? CLE has a 1900 ft floor at the north side by Lake Erie and I have flown at 1800 to go around CLE. I was not talking to CLE so I don't know if they objected. Today I was coming around CLE decending IFR. When...

I was looking over the web site of a flying club that posts the minutes of their meetings. One item said that fuel was running out of the wing of their 172 when the flaps were fully extended because the overflow drain was broken. They asked that the tanks not be completely filled until this...

Last year, an acquaintance of mine turned 85 and stopped flying and sold his airplane. He just figured that he had done it long enough and he wasn't as sharp as he used to be. He flew a lot right up until he sold his plane and he was quite experienced. I suspect for private reasons that he had...

Is there a list of flyins for the Dallas area somewhere on the web? Thanks Dave

Can they blame that one on GA planes?

I am planning to buy a folding bicycle for use in Vicky (N2679V - Cardinal RG '75). Eventually there will be two bicycles, his and hers. Occasional use for trips up to 5 or 10 miles in moderate hills, no mountain biking, no centuries. More than three speeds would be nice but I don't know...

Fix the high cost High Cost of Sportplanes "Any mass produced successful sport aircraft today ought to have folding wings, whether it's trailered or if it goes in a community hanger. There is a folding wing mod for the venerable Ercoupe (it's STC'd or their equivalent in Canada, I'm not sure...

The Curtis valve fuel drains from Aircraft Spruce were about $10 each including shipping, they are TSO'ed and come with some kind of sealant at the base of the thread grooves. They also still have 'O' rings, but the manufacturer says to replace the entire valve and not to 'overhaul' the valve. ...

There was some discussion a while back about a Minnesota man who was restoring a wrecked Corsair and the U.S. Navy's heavy-handed attempt to sue him for the return of the airplane and reimbursement for any "damage" he did to it. A happy ending may be forthcoming, as an NC Congressman has...
