Re: Wing Root Fairings Say Again Carl. Yes, it's the factory cowl modified for the Hot Shot conversion. The nose gear landing light is also part of the original Hot Shot conversion. Check around on the floor and see if you see a box with N1182J written on it. Do not think 82J ever had a...

Re: Grand Oaks Airfield Fly-Out... You are dead on the spot Frank. From the Pecan VOR it is 4 nm on the 345 degree radial. Pecan VOR is out of service and has been for the last couple of months. The FAA does not have the money available to fix it, we are told. $3.9 million dollars is being...

Re: New Member from Connecticut Roger, I have sent you a PM, You must be talking about N377SB. The fact that Sierra Bravo is a B model and a Hotshot is a fantastic combination. I used to own her, there is so much that I can tell you. Life is a barrel of fun. Ken

Re: AOPA Webinar on Cuba Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe a ships license also authorizes the use of a hand held radio either near the plane or far away. I got the license for Sierra Bravo in 09 for the Alaska trip and at that time did a lot of research into it. Life is a barrel...

Re: Grand Oaks Airfield Fly-Out... Nothing is set in stone, does not have to be BBQ. One local delicacy is Possum Pie, the pastry made with proper lard, none of this healthy stuff. Life is a barrel of fun. Ken

Re: Dream Hop - Alaska John The blog that we did on the Alaska trip is still on our web page. The spelling is bad as two 15/16 yo boys from England did most of it. A few pictures. Starting from South Georgia going via Mexico. http://andrewtent.com/alaska.htm Life...

I must have crossed the Atlantic Ocean at least one hundred times. The only bad flight I ever had was after my Father died and I was going home for the funeral. Every Atlantic crossing has been fantastic, and I mean fantastic. I wish that I had kept some kind of record of each flight, what...

Re: Nose Actuator Replacement Parts Joell, I could not agree more. If COG membership went up to $500 per year I would still consider it an amazing value. We used to have a Landmark Aviation here at KABY, we all called them "Landfill" aviation based on their service. They hated piston...

Re: Baggage Door Gas Spring I got close to the screen and had a sniff. It smells like JB Weld. Looks like a die grinder job to me. Life is a barrel of fun. Ken

Re: N48CK, 2000 115 Trans Atlantic crossing So Judy, was without both radios, I assume he had a handheld. If he lost the 750 he also lost the transponder. (And autopilot ? ) Makes me think again about having all the eggs in one basket. I have never used a G750 but do know that each...

Re: A day I will always remember! Re: A day I will always remember! Narsarsuaq, Greenland. 677nm Looking for sunset times for Goose Bay. Only a couple of hours daylight left. I imagine he will wait for daybreak to continue. Weather looks decent for in the morning.

Re: A day I will always remember! Re: A day I will always remember! Great link Judy, I have a "Spot" but have not used it since the Alaska trip. Just checked N900EU on Flight Aware.. 28000' and 270 knots. Probably the only service in aviation where they charge more the smaller the plane...

Re: A day I will always remember! Re: A day I will always remember! I have been checking on FlightAware and no movement yet. Due to leave Florida for Maine tomorrow. And then onwards if all checks out. The flight to Maine is a shake down flight to make sure all is well for the crossing...
