Neat photo Scott, Thanks for posting, Bob

Dean, forgot to mention, you have three options going north to Napa the coast route may have fog the Central Valley route may have haze with low visibility the Owens valley route on the east side of the mountain range may have some good bumps Bob

Hi Dean, I fly a north or south route depending on weather/winds to avoid the higher mountains when flying to KFLY just south of you from southern California. north route: KRAL HEC LAS PVU Provo pass KHCR EVW KRWL CYS KFLY good overnight stop would be Spanish Fork, Utah by Provo south route...

Thanks for posting Charlie, great pictures.

Thanks Pat, I am due for my biannual in April of this year and I may be using a new instructor so this helps me greatly in knowing what to say to the CFI prior to flying with him. It appears to me that you did everything that you could to avoid the outcome. Keep your chin up and take care. Bob

Plane looks great Pat, It does look lonely on the ramp all by itself. Say Hi to Betty for us

Jim, I think a new modern gear pump for our planes would be well received by the group. I would opt for a new pump vs overhaul of the old pump if required based on what the new cost would be. Bob

Re: Great Bay NH The high today in Southern California only got up to the mid 60’s but we braved the very very cold temperatures to fly up and see the snow in the local hills around Riverside.

Re: Another new commander owner Congratulations Mark & Stephen, You guys now have the best travel machine available. I have owned my 114 for 31 years and just returned from a close to 3-week trip to Oshkosh & other parts of the mid-west (30+ flying hours) visiting friends and the comments from...

Re: 2018 Commanders at Oshkosh Joe, I parked near you at Fond Du Lac today. Maybe we meet up with other Commander folks at Oshkosh. Bob

Re: 2018 Commanders at Oshkosh Dave, We will be arriving on Monday and parking the plane at Fond Du Lac. We will be looking for Commander tails standing tall at Oshkosh. Hope to see you there, Bob

Re: Costa Rica to 1WA6 (WA) July Gonzalo, That is some cross country flight in your 114, tops any distance we have flown in our Commander. Make sure to ride the ferries so you can checkout the San Juan islands or Victoria. Have fun and stay safe. Bob

Re: 42W in Oklahoma! Very good write up on the trip Dean. Sounds like some of the trips we took with our Commander early on with mechanical issues until we got most of the bugs worked out. Weather is another thing and all I can say is be very flexible, something I was not very good at early on...

Re: Hello from Texas Welcome to the group, That is one neat paint job, one of a kind.

Re: Amazing weather Herman, Neat video - Thanks for posting. Reminded me of a flight into Scottsdale one evening many years ago, saw lightning east of the airport on approach with an intense downpour just after leaving the runway.
