Central Valley, CA stops by xxx
Flying up the central valley from LA, is there any on-field restaurant that's worth a stop? Bakersfield, Fresno, Modesto, Madera, Stockton...any reason to prefer any one over any other for either human or airplane fuel?

PIREP Lowrance 600c by xxx
PIREP Lowrance 600c The trip up the central valley (see PIREP SCK, posted earlier today) was the first time I had occasion to make use of the Lowrance 600c I bought a few months back. It works. That's the good news. With the external antenna sitting on the glare shield, it pretty much...

PIREP SCK by xxx
Pirep Stockton (SCK) Thanks for all the recommendations for Harris ranch, but I decided that I wasn't up to the challenge of that little runway. I made my fuel and food stop and Stockton, instead. I'm sure the food wasn't as good. Maybe the gas ($5.76 a gallon) was less, but I wouldn't count on...

FAA CIVIL RIGHTS SCAM by XXX
This is what happens when you focus more on celebrating diversity and promoting minorities in the FAA who have no aviation background rather than doing your JOB You know the one the American people expect? http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/09/17/faa.problem.jet/index.html

Santa Barbara by xxx
Any recent intelligence on boring a hole in the sky to SBA? I know there used to be two restaurants within walking distance. Still the case? How about tying down for a few hours? Any way to do that without a big fee? Which FBO is most welcoming to a transient spam can?

Lowrance 600c: Preliminary Pirep by xxx
Pirep Lowrance 600c, initial impressions. Since no one particularly discouraged me from getting one, I went ahead and ordered a 600c on line. It seems Lowrance is effectively preventing anyone from discounting it, so the price is the same all over the country. I ordered it from Pilotshop.com,...

Which taildragger by xxx
So here I am in sunny (OK, heavy marine layer overcast) southern California. Always looking for interesting/stupid/expensive things to do, I see that there are a lot of outfits here offering taildragger instruction, some aerobatic, some spin training, some just tailwheel endorsements. They use a...

PIREP CAF Museum by xxx
PIREP CAF Museum, Midland, TX It's a long ways from the population centers, but it's hardly off the beaten track: the track is being beaten to pieces by big rigs. Passing the time by keeping statistics for some miles, I found about 75% of the traffic to be semi trailers, 25% pickups and SUV's...

I've got about 6 hours now and find it not the slightest bit fun. Can anyone remind me why I'm inflicting this on myself?

Clapped-out trainers, wildfires, and which complex? by xxx
I had planned a full moon flight up the coast last night, which had to be canceled (and not for the first time) due to wildfires and TFR's en route. For some odd reason they don't want bugsmashers trundling through the water bombers. OK, sez I, I'll just fly some patterns. The first Cessna I...

I'm in search of a thread that was made here (actually a few threads that were made here), where everyone gave stories about what they were doing on 9-11-01. I'm searching google, but can't find anything. Anyone want to give me any hints?

landing gear sound effect wav file by xyzzy
I'm looking for a wav file for my blackberry of the chirp of an airplane landing gear setting down. I can find several clips out there of planes landing but the chirp is surrounded by other sounds -- most of them are full landing clips. I'd like just the chirp (to use as a notifier tone for...

Best sunglasses for flying? by xyzzy
I miscalculated my health benefits. I expected to have to pay cash for my medical and for some diagnostic tests that I needed to have to get the medical, but my HMO ended up picking up all of it. So I have a signficant surplus in my healthcare flexible spending account that I must spend by the end...

Flying through the Atlantic Seaboard by xyzzy
I am considering taking a flight from central North Carolina to Cape Cod in late March of this year. Up until all of my flying has been in the Southeast, with IAD being as far north as I've ventured. Playing with the AOPA planner the route looks pretty interesting -- go just east of the DC ADIZ,...
