Had a great time in CA last month. The Bay shore Tour/Flight was a busy time flight-wise with traffic and ATC - but - really worth it. After that though, went north to Healdsburg. Mazzocco Winery is about 2 blocks up the hill from the airport. So what better thing to do than fly up, walk to...

So a quick note about last month. I logged about 37 hours of flight time in 20-ish days and while I know I will hate seeing the credit card bills come in - it was an amazing collection of experiences. Day 1 - KCFO to KSPS - with a fuel stop in Page AZ - Over the Rockies is always fun. This...

Ok, so I'm starting to plan a bit of an adventure/trip. This will be a series of flights. If there is bad weather or a series of storms stacked up - I will be taking Southwest and not having my adventure. My dates are also not entirely set in stone, so I have some cushion to adjust for...

I happened to meet up with Nick on the ramp yesterday at Front Range/ Spaceport. Was great to meet him and see his HotShot up close!

I have never really been tickled yet by anything a controller says. I mostly hear a professional hurried individual. Sometimes, I hear some cranky-ness or some emotion when someone doesn't get it or doesn't do what they are told..... However, coming back from Cheyenne WY on Saturday - I had a...

My mom has some friends in the Houston area who are having heath problems and she probably won't get to see again, so I said - let's make this trip happen. As long as the weather is good, I will get 42w ready and we can do this. That was the reason for the post about Houston for info. I...

I was surprised to see a Commander on the ramp as I was taxing in. I’d just finished 6.5 ish hours (Houston, Norman OK, and home) so didn’t stop to check in or take a pic. But I did a double take and sure enough, N4984F was sitting on the ramp. It’s kinda nice...lol dont know if they are a...

Anyone have good intel on airports east of Houston? I need to get to Huffman, TX about 12 miles east of Bush (KIAH) I am swinging down from Denver, to Norman, OK to pick up my mom and take her to see a friend who is in hospice care in Huffman. I am thinking of either Baytown (KHPY), Liberty...

Well, not a true sighting, but pretty cool. I was driving down the street and passed a newer grocery store that was built out in the newly developed area of the old Stapleton airport. They've kept the aviation theme alive throughout the area in many ways. However, I spotted a mural along side...

Super long shot. Is there anyone near OKC with a headset adapter to take it from Heli (single plug) to a GA dual plug. I’d ship it back to you on Wednesday. I just need to get from okc back home. I got surprised with a new used headset that I didn’t get a chance to vet. thanks Dean

I had a great weekend. Got to the airport early Sunday morning, did my pre-flight, all is good, looked at fuel - decided I was good for the hour flight. Took off, great trip above a layer that broke up about 15 miles from my destination. This allowed me to pull throttle back and an easy...

So probably not the right folder/topic - but - adventure seems to be apropos :-) If anyone is in Lawrence, KS (KLWC) or will be there Saturday - please let me know - I have a small favor. If Lawrence was 200 miles closer to Denver, I would fly over there - but at 436 - it's a bit far for a...

Got back from KOUN on Sunday - stopped by to top off my tanks and saw 4719W on the ramp - was great to see another Commander around! Dean

Just a word out to any Commander owners in ABQ. If the weather holds for VFR the weekend of 10/05 - 42W and myself are headed that way. I plan on being into KAEG before noon on Friday. If there is anyone available to meet for a cup of coffee at the airport let me know. I will be in ABQ for...

I had quite the adventure/experience building weekend with 42W. I met some great people and the crew at West Woodard is AMAZING - plus super cheap 100LL! Fri: KFTG - KOUN - Weather deviation - extra 30 mins of flying Sat: KOUN - KWWR - Taking mom for her first flight in 42W ------ FYI...

Hey folks - if the weather is cooperative - I plan on taking 42W to KSNH (Savannah, TN) next Saturday the 21st. I'd like to get in there around 1:00 PM -ish. It'd be great to meet up with anyone who is around the area. I am also figuring out how to get from KSNH to either a rental car place...

The Colorado Pilots Association just put out their schedule of fly-ins for 2017. While there are more than a couple of them I am going to try to get to - there are two that I thought others on here might be interested in and we could meet up. March 3-5 - Cactus Fly-in - KCGZ - Casa Grande, AZ -...

Well yesterday morning I depart Front Range bound for Norman. Feeling like it's going to be a nice flight. Cold weather, plane is performing well and the added bonus of being cleared into the Class Bravo! About 45 mins later, with a layer below me and the layer closing in from above - I...

Florida Commander Folks (or those who have flown into FL a lot) When we wrap up the Fly-in on Sunday I will not be immediately heading back to the Mile High City. I will be headed to the mighty metropolis of Frost Proof Florida. I am thinking of either landing at Apopka so a rental car is...

I will be in Grand Island, NE Friday through Sunday morning. If anyone is nearby and wants to meet up. I should have time on Friday before about 2:00 or Saturday after 3:00. Just thought I'd throw this out - in case anyone else is dreaming of flying into central NE for some reason :) Dean
