Re: An odyssey of firsts; the 2017 COG Fly-In Interesting! I too am wondering, now. After returning, I did check with a couple of my AP/IA buddies along with my gazillion-hour ATP friends (who flew twins with turbo'd IO540s). To a person, they indicated that it was SOP for an IO540. Thanks...

Re: Hopeful future 114 owner Welcome aboard Mike! After looking at your web page, it is obvious that you are a proud aircraft owner. When the time comes, you are going to love the Commander and the support provided by this group!

Re: Next Great Lakes Fly-Out?? Bahamas, for sure!

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Count me in!

Re: N515CA takes to the skies once more! PPL? PPL?! We don't need no stinking PPL! ...Until we do. :D When that day comes, I'll bet your check-ride examiner will be impressed. Congratulations on your new Commander!
