    What's the deal with crossing in and out the ADIZ in the GOM?

    Lets say you want to fly from KGAO to KISM just in a straight line...you got your snorkel gear on just in case you need to splash down. I know you would have to file a flight plan...but are there any other issues?

    If GA is getting less popular and there are less new pilots why is the price of old planes not falling?

    Riddle me that my pilot bros I want a 182Turbo for $75,000

    Are we still debating that you have to get the plane in the air VS running it on the ground for 30 minutes is good enough to get the moisture out?

    I'm back sauce bosses, anyhow....if you can't fly your plane...just run that rascal on tie downs for a 1/2 hour every week...Keeps the moisture out. Prove me I'm wrong

    REAL TALK....how many of you are gonna hit the sims to practice engine out aquatic landing?

    Seems to me that it would be a vastly important skill level to have if you travel around places where there is a lot of water. Or In my case, The LA TO KISM Mouse Run They have a full motion sim in NOLA from what I understnad. I wonder if they would be cool with that?

    In a few weeks...I'll be wishing I had my wings.

    Really not looking forward to the 11 hours I'll be on the road. Damn Gulf of Mexico. It would be so Much faster even using a GA aircraft.

    This may have been covered before, used airplane pricing.

    I am on a few facebook pages where people have listed their planes for sale. I also peruse the internet sites like controller, trade a plane etc. What I have noticed is that on the FB pages people will list their plane for way less than what you see on the internet sites. What gives? Are the...

    Story I heard...cautionary tale.

    This story is from my wife. She knows a guy who goes offshore fishing a lot. Well they go when it's rough and don't care, but can get sea sick. So, a doctor give him a script for a special compounded med from a pharmacy. Med works fantastic but guess what's in the med. Dimenhydrinate (may be...

    What is the most reliable cabin class piston powered airplane?

    Not like I am going to buy one, I am just being curious. This got me thinking when I saw a Panther converted Navajo in the local FBO's hangar. I know that particular plane is a nightmare regarding Mx. :eek:

    serious question...regarding chutes and medicals...don't laugh.

    Ok...I had a long drive back home this week, like 10 hours and while driving I got to thinking (dangerous I know). Ok...we now have basic med but there are pilots out there who this isn't going to help. I.E. John King. or folks who have things that really stop them from flying. So, why...

    Going to Sun N Fun this year....any tips?

    I will only be there for one day. Some things I would like to see, but I am not sure if those things will be there to see. 1. GA aircraft that I can actually buy....doesn't have to be for sale but to look and poke around. 2. Avionic upgrades for older GA planes. 3. Possible some war birds of...

    This panel seems interesting...

    Is that thing actually screwed/bolted down? http://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=PIPER&model=COMANCHE+250&listing_id=2247154&s-type=aircraft

    Anyone here owns a rockwell commander?

    I see there are 112's, 114's 115's etc. I saw one at an airshow one day and I was in awe. The lines and the interior make it look like a biz jet. I looked at trade a plane and they seemed to be priced fair for what you get, 150kt cruise, decent range, decent useful load but that cabin surely...

    In this day and age with CNC machining, how are airplane parts still ridiculously expensive?

    I am being serious...anything milled out of a block of aluminum is going to be way better than any cast part. Is the part 23 re write going to address any of this?

    VFR pilots around the Gulf...I have a question

    I was just being curious, what's the longest to had to wait out the weather while flying around the Gulf? I would assume that 1-2 days at the max would provide you with enough of a window to make a 2 hour run. I am just being curious..dreaming about flying while the Medical is getting situated.

    Do all Turbo 182 RGs have wet wings?

    I read an article which said this.....I wanted to see if that was true.

    What air plane would you need to make this direct route?

    I enjoy going to flight planner and messing around with different routes and such. So I plugged in this route (keep in mind, I am a noob). KHUM direct to KEYW. 562 nm and right under 4 hours at 135 knots. A Comanche has the legs and speed for this on paper. The long way around flying over...
