Best looking GA piston engine airplane. No, i’m not biased at all lol.

Not much of a view en route today. Beautiful clear at departure and destination but scattered clouds for the 1.5 hours of cruise.

I can't stand airlines. Although, in most cases, airlines would win price wise and probably half the trips time wise as well, I'd still go GA anytime I can. Every time I'm flying with the airlines, I catch some bug from that sneezing a**hat who thought flying with a cold, flu or worse is a good...

That sounds and looks like an amazing trip and always nice to hear when it happens with no issues. Thanks for sharing Jim!

I put my western boundary to where ever the rocks start and my eastern boundary to when I start to see only water lol.

Yeah but to be fair, anywhere north of Dallas/Atlanta/Northern South Carolina would probably too far north.

Well, part of the reason I get good conversions from the Canadian site is because I am Canadian and the planes I sold were Canadian registered planes ;-)

I lived there in 2006 - 2008, then again briefly in 2018 and visited in between. Plus, I know a lot of people in Texas. I don't know how it was in the 60s, 70s (wasn't even born) or 90s (still used diapers) but compared to Germany or even Canada, Texas isn't all that bad. I've been to 45 out of...

Florida is just a place to visit from time to time. Too crowded and too many "Florida man" stories lol. Texas has space for us I heard and since I used to live there, I don't think they mind having me back (hopefully).

I always put up my ads on both + Barnstormers + Kijiji (Canadian version of Craigslist just less yucky) + flyers at airports within 2 hours of flight (more as an excuse to go flying). My thinking is, a few hundred dollars won’t matter when selling an asset like an airplane. Having said that...

Haha, I graduated high school in Arkansas and went to college in Texas. I’m half southern.

I have no data points for you on the Archer, but about a year ago, I bought a Comanche with a TBO'd engine (although it's been rebuilt 1,000 hours ago, the last owner didn't 0-timed it), 1,000 hours less in total time but 16 years older. Also, no fancy avionics, just your standard VFR...

Happy 4th my American friends! We had the Canadian 4th of July on the 1st of July. Not sure what we celebrated though since we still put king and queen heads on the money. I don't think Canada will shed the crown but one day, I'll join y'all south of the border. Congrats. Hopefully I'll be...

It's been non-eventful for me both ways. I'd give CBP (US customs) a slight edge over Canadian customs simply due to being more reliable, more readily available and more accommodating when I was late due to weather or the likes. Heard other stories from some folks here but (knock on wood), I...

Now that we're on the topic, there is a place called Blue Mountain Beach in 30a. Obviously, there are no mountains. Why would they call it that? I make fun of the "Blue Mountains" in Ontario, which aren't blue and more like hills but one could argue about that. However Blue Mountain Beach in...

Honestly, that's summer almost anywhere east of the rocks. Southern Ontario is a lot like that as well, beautiful sunny days until the afternoon and then build ups everywhere. Been planning a trip to Boston for the weekend but with the forecast as it is, I'll probably skip it. Don't feel like...

Poutine is just nasty. I’m Canadian. i ate it twice, both times when family came up to visit from abroad. Both times my stomach was messed up for days.

Except for saturday, sunday and monday, it looks like you may have beautiful mornings.

I definitely want to put the fuel pump on its own breaker. But even then, I'd want to know what's causing the breaker to trip in the current configuration when it shouldn't be happening since this is how it's been designed. I also would want a separate switch for instrument lights and nav lights...

That’s what my mechanic said and then he sent the below diagrams. I don’t know what i’m seeing on them but maybe you can figure them out.
