There are a fair number of folks flying in commercial and I thought a thread to help them coordinate would be a good idea. It is an expensive cab fare, even on Uber. OK ... for me, I am flying my plane from northern MI to Fort Colins this Sunday, leaving it, then flying commercial to Dallas and...

Re: How lucky I am to have found The Commander! Hockey is sort of like a combination of Cricket and Rugby on ice, with skates on. Well, if you are drunk it is, which most Canadians are when playing pond hockey! I would be most happy to see the venerable Tiger Cats! Those guys are always...

Re: How lucky I am to have found The Commander! Welcome and Congrats. More Canucks is generally a good thing, even though you are probably a Leafs fan. Kitchener is an excellent airport. Love the customs service there ... like *bleep**bleep**bleep**bleep* through a Canadian goose! BTW ... if...

Re: Ding Dong... FSS The YIP FSDO has a history of being helpful and cooperative. Hope that does not end.

Re: N1340J to SW Virginia I use Phillips XC multi with Camguard. (I used to use Aeroshell before I found enlightenment!) p.s. if you want some fun, search here for oil recommendations. It's like asking Dog lovers what dog food to use -- or not use. ) I do like this advice though: I do not...

Re: Pirep Oshkosh we have talked many times about a "group arrival" but have never been close to pulling it off. Maybe next year, lol!

Re: Pirep Oshkosh Nice pic, Jim. We took the motor home in one year. The comfort and convenience were nice for sure. But there is nothing quite like waking up in a sea of airplanes each morning, sitting with friends and having a coffee and watching landings and departures, then repeating the...

Re: Pirep Oshkosh Scott, be SURE to write them about that. They need to know. Pat, several of us talking about coming Saturday through Tues or Wed next year. Have you heard how Sat arrival for North 40 camping is?

Re: Pirep Oshkosh At the end of the week, beginning Wednesday evening, all day Thursday and Friday, things open up. If they did the night air show on Tuesday/Saturday ilo Wednesday/Saturday, that would help. This year, due to my son's work complication, we did not arrive until Friday evening...

Re: Oshkosh Friday Night COG Gathering North 40 Reminder, Conor and I plan to arrive as soon after the 6:00 PM TFR expires as possible. Come by any time 7:00 or after. For location, after 6:30 Text to either: 248.390.0773 Scott 248.390.0062 Conor

Re: Oshkosh Friday Night COG Gathering North 40 TIME CHANGE !!!!!! Due to unforseen circumstances, Conor and I cannot arrive until the show opens tomorrow at 6:00 PM. We are planning to be near Ripon when that happens and get right in. So .... officially we are saying 7:30, but if you are...

Re: How NOT to arrive at Oshkosh!!! I would say 95% follow the NOTAM to the T. But that does leave the 5% who are brain-dead. I do NOT recommend flying in alone. YOu need the extra set of eyes to look out for the tracks, the guys with pink flags, ground instruction, etc. Yeah, it is nuts...

Re: Oshkosh 2017 I just reread my comment about the "blood-letting by Mistress Judi" in the Traditional COG Initiation Ceremony Rights ... It occurs to me now that could be misinterpreted by those new to our group and for that, I apologize. Judi has been a tireless representative for both...

Re: Pirep Oshkosh Thanks for the update, Pat. Conor and I have a long list of vendors to see about our possible ADS-B solutions. Well, I think we've narrowed it down to 7, lol! We were going this afternoon, but something came up that Conor has to be involved in at 3:30, plus they are expending...

Re: Oshkosh Friday Night COG Gathering North 40 Congrats on that, Jim. That is very special. We sold our big house to my oldest son, his wife and the 2.5-year-old grandson and we are "squatting" with them till my wife and I find our new place ... and having the time of our lives. Every day is...

Re: Oshkosh Friday Night COG Gathering North 40 Just trying to trick you into bringing lots of beer, then drinking too much and forgetting the extra and leaving it behind. Has worked with quite a few COG members in the past!

Re: N1340J to SW Virginia Stopped into HLX once for fuel. A Beautiful airport in a gorgeous setting. And the "model" posing with your plane wasn't even there that day! I will be flying over back from Wilmington in a few weeks. If I stop in will she model for my plane, too? This could be a...

Re: Oshkosh Friday Night COG Gathering North 40 Quite a few members can tell you Lonnie and I both have Angelic wives and daughters ... so there must be something divine in each of us.

Re: Oshkosh 2017 Well, you can fake that, but you cannot fake the blood-letting by Mistress Judi. So we know we got ya.
