I'm always amazed at what Cessna / Piper Owners do with my photos. Another great article!

To be fair, they only have to land it once! Maybe a sea of foam? :biggrin:

The coolest thing about the Texas flag is that it's flown in every state!

Yeah, like anyone knows what an Oklahoma flag looks like!!

Here's the story about the last flight of Hawaii Mars. At least it will be in a museum, but too bad it won't fly again. Glad I got to see it in Oshkosh. Hawaii Mars Last Flight Martin Mars, "Hawaii Mars" will now be part of the B.C. Aviation Museum. The Martin JRM Mars is a large...

During the briefing, I told him that his job was to look at me and smile. He told his Mom that the flight was "stinkin cool" but his cheeks hurt!

Well, back from Oshkosh and it was time to get back to work! We flew with Warren and his son in their Cessna 140A. Fun shoot near Bridgeport, Texas. Usually the breakaway shots are the last thing I do. This time, we had a little sunlight left, so I decided we should take a closer look...

I'm guessing money is the only reason. Their pricing on the Final Approach beer this year made me mad. In their stores, it was $8 a can, or $16 for a six pack.

That wouldn't surprise me! The only fight I've ever seen there was when a guy wouldn't quit harassing me, telling me I needed to give him a flight briefing because I had an orange shirt on under my yellow vest, so that meant I was a briefer. I tried multiple times to tell him I wasn't a...

In the past the stores selling beer weren't on the field, but they are now. I'm talking about the Red One stores in the camping areas. They're inside of the fence.

Isabel is an amazing person and I've worked with her on many projects. Flying magazine was not a good fit for her, so when they bought Plane & Pilot, the writing was on the wall. She's stepped away from aviation for now and is enjoying life. Hopefully we'll see her in aviation again someday.

It's so weird. In years past, you could get beer at the bar/restaurants that were fenced in only and had security guards. Parker John's BBQ added alcohol to their menu this year and added the required fence and guards. Now... you can now by beer in the on-field stores! So I'm not allowed...

I think a lot of rules are there in case they need to enforce them, but in most cases it's okay if they don't. Some of them are just funny... "no Frisbees in Camp Scholler!" "Only one tent per plane unless a second tent is needed for immediate family members" The plane next to us had...

Here's a little closer view! And one from the fires in 2015

LOL, could be part if it, but I've seen the ratchet break on straps. I saw a 152 flipped over in high winds and the nylon rope was intact, but the concrete ripped out of the ground.

10 miles NE of EDC is Jack!

Many years ago, we had this debate with our local FSDO. I had a Powered Parachute, but out local runway is Right Traffic 17, Left Traffic 35, and we were landing in the grass to the West of the runway. If we flew an opposite pattern, we would have to cross the runway (or at least final) to get...

I agree with 1-14...easy breezy. You can highlight a lot of information in the PDF before you print it (see attached), and I highlight a few more things after I print it. I end up highlighting almost everything you mentioned. The Lancair crashed on base. Even with the higher arrival, you...

I've now flown into Oshkosh seven times. The first time was very stressful, and after that it got easier and easier. I still pay very close attention to the NOTAM though, and I even teach it to local pilots. I can't imagine going in unprepared! One of my friends flew in with me 3 years in a...

On our way to Oshkosh, we overheard 3 RV pilots talking. It became obvious that one of them was in charge and only he had read the NOTAM, and he didn't even understand it completely. They were asking him questions like, "what is the ground frequency once we land?" Then they started discussing...
