Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Are non-Commander owners (possible future owner if Congress gets off their butts) welcome? What time are the Seminars & walk around going to happen?

Re: Hello! I don't own any aircraft but, like you I've been looking... more like browsing. As far as the Socatas, I think the major factor is your height. I'm 6'5" and when sitting in a Gen One TB-21, my head hit the top of the cabin without any headset on. Not only touched it, but I couldn't...

Re: A Great Time in Dayton I must be missing something. Looking all over I can't find a Dayton gallery.

Re: COG Site Speed I've noticed that for a while now. Normally it's fine, but once in a while it gets persnickety and bogs waaaaay down for a while. I just try again later when that happens.

Re: New home for N693TC Hey Matt. I've got a brother up there in Kingsford. Always thought KIMT had quite a large runway for such a remote airport. Looking forward to flying in... if I ever finish and get my PPL.

Re: Invasion at Michigan Airports Exactly right. Here in Illinois we had a "bad" snow storm 4 years ago (3 feet) so I finally bought a snow blower... AFTER having someone plow my driveway out (so I could go buy a snow blower). This year is the first chance I've even got to use it. Whether...

Re: FAA & BMI: MUCH AD0-doo about nothing Ah to be young, healthy, and naive again. Being a student pilot, I can't really say how most pilots feel about the FAA in general (as opposed to just some of their idiotic and ill-conceived rule-making policies). I personally believe it would be a...

Re: FAA & BMI: MUCH AD0-doo about nothing 40 may be the number for now, but if the head FAA doctor can simply dictate significant medical policy changes all by himself, what does that mean for the future? They've already said the BMI trigger will probably come down over time. How low? I think...

Re: Spiders Wait a minute... I just looked it up in the dictionary... black widow noun a venomous spider, Latrodectus mactans, widely distributed in the U.S., whose purpose is to co-exist with Herman Lanmon, (esp. in his aircraft). Huh... you learn something new every day. :p

Re: Oshkosh Yes, flying with Blue Sky Aero out of Morris. I actually live in Ottawa 20 miles away, but it's the closest available flying club / flight school. I do hear Lewis all the time on the radio since we use the same frequency. And BTW.. what's up with that? Can't they spare a few more...

Re: Oshkosh Many thanks to Scott Sedam for taking the time on Saturday to show me around N4843W and sharing some very good info about Commanders in general. Very nice aircraft, and the best news is that I actually fit at 6' 5"!! Saw a 112 landing on Saturday morning also but didn't see where...
