Anyone else see the salary for the FAA Administrator? This is the person who is head of the most sophisticated aviation system on the planet, impacting everyone who owns, works on, or flies on any type of aircraft. Incredible leadership, experience and management skills are required to herd tens...

Just saw this AOPA safety video about a Baron who "drifted" 320 feet from the old short line at Ft. Pierce, ending up on RWY 14 where a Commander was landing, N4912W,owned by Peter Baur. He has been a member since 2008, no posts, last visited 2 years ago. See it here...

Anything on the 2022 Fly-In. Being a transplant recipient, prudence dictated I skip the past two, due to COVID, but I am optimistic that better times will soon be here. Omicron seems to have peaked. Anyway, I am already booking things in September and I'd like to get to the even this year...

Watch THIS! https://www.air.tv/watch?v=jBh4k1xGQfq2SqeQdQGsXA Probably a lot of jump suits to clean on landing, not to mention the pilot's shorts and anyone else who was left on the plane.

Of all the idiotic pilot adventures I have ever heard, this one takes the cake. The guy's home airport is only 15 miles from mine in Northern Michigan. Grateful he will not be flying anywhere near us, but as I said in the title, Darwin evidently was on vacation during his trip from CA to MI...

(this is not a political post, just reporting an event, so remember that if you comment.) Pretty exciting day at our local small northern Michigan airstrip, KACB Antrim County - Bellaire. President Biden dropped by. I was parked on the ramp but of course, could not get anywhere near the airport...

I have a dinner and next day meeting in DC, downtown, in a couple of weeks. I could just go commercial into National but if I fly myself I have other stops I can make. Have flown into Leesburg, once into Dulles, into Montgomery County, Tipton, Freeway, but never to the two closer in ones to the...

A local (NW of Detroit) Cherokee fatal accident was dramatic enough Saturday afternoon that it made the national news. Took the pilot, his wife, and his only child, his son, a college sophomore. If not for just dumb luck, there would have been at least 3 deaths in the family whose house was the...

So happy to see the Dale, family and pilots walked away from that crash. It appears they were very lucky. Maybe some of you who are who have been jet jockeys can illuminate this question. Here's what I don't get. I have flown into both Elizabethton and TriCities many times. They are 13 nm apart...

On the old system, it was either automatic or perhaps I chose this option so long ago I forgot ... but the posts would come in, LIFO ... most recent arrived, first up. That made it easy to quickly scroll down to see where you saw the last post, not go through pages to get there. Now, in this...

I have a board meeting I have to attend next Monday in DC, about 6 blocks straight north of the Capital. I have flown into the outlying airports such as Leesburg, Fredrickburg, "Jim Bunn's Airport" the name of which I forget at the moment, etc. but would love some intelligence on which airport...

Had a perfect GA trip the past two weeks. Had a nice tailwind from Detroit all the way into Florida. Departed IFR but clear from the GA/TN line going south. 5:05 duration, Landed perfect VFR SW of Jacksonville at Keystone, with 12 gallons left. So I burned 56 gallons in just over 5 hours, Burned...

Have to spend a few days at a conference next week held at Miami Beach. I have stayed at several airports north of here, but this appears to be the closest with decent fuel prices. OPA is much higher and stayed there once some years ago and recall that the FBO was kind of strange and the place...

Not sure if I posted this before but if you have not seen this, give it a watch. One of my son Conor's best friends has flown Helicopters commercially since age 17. His dad had the company but passed away about 10 years ago and Nick has run it ever since. He is 37 now, with 20 years experience...

WX looks great tomorrow. Long time since we have met up. Anyone want to meet for Breakfast at Jackson about 10:00 AM? I will check back at 0830.

I have a video in an MP4 format. It will not upload, and I notice that MP4 is not listed when you select "manage attachments." It is very common, so should that not be an option? Can that be updated?

How about we try for a meet-up this Sunday morning, JXN. Let's say 10:00 AM. Right now forecast looks sorta promising. Been a long time for GLCOG to meet.

Here is the Black Friday Deal, plus info on the new 4.0 version. The integration of a fully functional logbook is a huge plus, plus a lot of other goodies. Integrated W&B coming shortly: Thank you so much for being a Lifetime customer! Everyone at Seattle Avionics appreciates your business and...

Because of a west coast business event, I have to leave my bird in Atlanda on Wednesday, Sept. 19, take a Delta nonstop to LAX, then return to ATL Friday until 10:15p. Figuring I could not depart from anywhere until 11p or after, I am not flying to Augusta till Sat AM. So ... I have to leave...

IF ... I had more money than I knew what to do with ... well, no, I would know what I'd do with it. I'd get one of these! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqhI4MeCn1c
