This was a shock, indeed. Met him twice and he was just a down to earth, excellent man. It is more than a little sobering to read that a man like this with all of his experience, hours, and a leader in light plane safety, died in a crash of a plane similar to ours in many way. It is difficult to...

Here are the last two owners. I don't recognize names. Judi????? Know either one? 25-Jun-2019 KOENIG DARRELL LEE SUMTER SC 26-Jul-2018 GOODNIGHT ROBERT D MASSILLON OH

I have flown that route a ton of times, and also flown into MDW many times for Wings of Mercy patients. I have never had problems with Chicago Approach. I would never fly up the Lakefront without being with Approach because believe it or not, some folks don't use VFR Advisories, (ahem ....) in a...

Boyne Mountain was a good location about 10 years ago.

I dunno ... that salary was on one of the Flying websites today. Who knows! But $200K is still way too low. I am a member of the Board of Trustees of the HBI (Home Building Institute) part of NAHB - National Association of Home Builders. We got a new Executive Director 4 years ago at about...

Point! Which makes it even worse. Just a stepping stone. We need someone totally committed in that joby. Should be at least $300K to get that.

Anyone else see the salary for the FAA Administrator? This is the person who is head of the most sophisticated aviation system on the planet, impacting everyone who owns, works on, or flies on any type of aircraft. Incredible leadership, experience and management skills are required to herd tens...

Scott, please email me to scott@truen.com. Scott Sedam N4843W

Eric, use the search function to find the many posts I have made on the questions you ask, based on my more than 4000 hours and 22 years flying the 114. None of these are real concerns if you learn the plane and how to fly it. Sorry I am on the run all week and cannot address in detail now, but...

I should know in about a month if I could make this work.

Glenn! Updates? September is getting tight for me, might be for others as well. Hate to miss again this year.

Let's plan a South Africa Fly-In!

Just saw this AOPA safety video about a Baron who "drifted" 320 feet from the old short line at Ft. Pierce, ending up on RWY 14 where a Commander was landing, N4912W,owned by Peter Baur. He has been a member since 2008, no posts, last visited 2 years ago. See it here...

Those in the know could call them the "AC11's"

I love Monterrey, but I'll be surprised if participation is high. Those who live out west are used to mountain flying and crossing over toward Colorado or New Mexico, is not a big deal. Most from the east have no experience doing such. I have flown to the west coast and have taken two mountain...
