Funny!

Hi Pete, I'm Doug Brown based at Deer Valley. Have a '77 TCA and was wondering if you are doing any instrument training. I am working with a guy who can go up once a month or so, and wanted to see if you may have some availability? If you live near the Goodyear airport, its only a few minutes...

Joel, thanks for the tip. I will definitely look at the directional aspect of the microphone and test again (didn't think about that). Actually, I like the UFQ unit, as long as the communication with ATC is good.

Dean, thanks for the info on modifying the ear plugs. I'll give that a try. The other issue is that ATC can't hear me too well. So I'll test that again also. If communication fails the test, I'll give another manufacturer a try. Just hate spending $400-$500 for each test!! There are 3 I am...

Just an FYI, I really wanted to try an in-ear headset and purchased the UFQ BT L2 in-ear headset (they claim "just as good as Bose"...spoiler alert, they're not). For me, its a no-go on the UFQ unit (ATC can't understand me very well). Will be looking at the QT and Clarity Aloft options. I know...

Hi Rich, it was nice meeting you and your friend today. My cell is 480-650-7532. Call if you ever have a question (although Joel has 10x more knowledge than me). Text me first so I can put you in my contacts, otherwise I may not answer. You have a really beautiful plane. Thx for coming today.

Hi Rich, just wanted to send you a quick note that 3 or 4 commanders will be flying to Payson this Saturday morning (Nov. 12) for breakfast at 8:00 AM. Love it if you could meet us there.

Super nice plane!

Following the highway out is a great idea. Kept checking the cloud base and I probably could have gone out yesterday afternoon. If I could have filed an IFR flight plan I would have been home Friday. Well, its clear this morning. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the insight. I’m still at the airport (KSEE). Mountains surround San Diego and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. If I get past those, I can probably make it okay. The path is obstructed with restricted area, so there are 2 routes. Through Yuma, or the northern route which...

Was getting lunch at KCRQ and the Commander 114 that is for sale was there. Then I saw another Commander come in and park next to me and then sat at the table next to us. John Goldasich was the other Commander owner. He has a beautiful 114TC. We met at the airplanes prior to departure and...

Great information Dean. I'll take a look at those routes, and have backup options ready in the event of weather/winds.

If I were closer to you, I'd take you up on that offer. A few ways to go from Phoenix. Joel mention going through Gunnison and then through monarch pass. If I go, and the weather looks good and winds aloft are playing nice, I may get to high altitude and try that route. If not, I may cross...

Have the same system in my plane and when living in the hotter temps of the southern United States, this is a much appreciated addition. I grew up in Mahomet, IL (near Champaign-Urbana), and can attest to the heat/humidity of the mid-west also. Had the AC controls mounted into the lower panel...

I've never heard of the Meyers Interceptor 400. That was quite an airplane.

My brother and his wife, Ron & Martha Brown, live in Franklin. Love visiting and wife loves shopping in downtown Franklin. Beautiful place to live!!

I got the fan at Lowe's, and then used appliance white epoxy paint for the stipes. Paint came out really nice. I decided to do a red stripe, so just taped off the area for the red. Pretty simple and actually looks factory.

Keeping priorities straight!! The Bears banner is to remind me to persevere through the difficult times!!!! :D
