Yesterday my wife & I departed Harvey Field north of Seattle heading home to Walla Walla. Due to several low broken clouds layers I elected not to use flight following. I knew they were busy & since my plan was to fly through Snowqualmie pass at 5,500 I knew we'd be too low for ATC radar...

I've got a good Q & A story. I was buying farm machinery a few years ago from a factory in Fargo. Obviously, I'm in the farm machinery business & our main line is John Deere. This was not a JD factory. Our assembly crew complained about too many loose bolts from this particular manufacturer...

I'm sorry the weather wasn't so great during the event. I hope you give it another try. I love flying Young Eagles events. I've flown for two different chapters this year. The one in which I'm a member & one 40 miles west in Richland, WA. I've flown 17 flights so far this year with a total...

Good job! So I assume 15 kids is 15 flights for you? I flew 30 kids (10 flights) last weekend. Indeed, it is very rewarding. On the 15th (next Saturday) I'll go to Richland, WA & fly with their EAA chapter. They were short airplanes. It will be interesting to see how many total flights...

Nice article. The Comanche is a classic airplane. The flood at Lock Haven finished off the line. It was a great loss.

Nice video & airplane. In the mid-seventies when I was a young 135 charter pilot, I flew a 1972 182 that was N7413Q. It was the same paint scheme but black & red. Most likely, they were built side by side.

There's a real nice one for sale by the gentleman that owns our airfield. It meets all of you criteria. PM me if you want more info or call at 509-520-9522. As you can see by my avatar I'm in Walla Walla, WA & so is the Ercoupe.

We recently had a farm auction in our area that had a real nice Ercoupe up for bid. It only had 200 hours on a 85 continental, fresh fabric on the wings, decent interior,& very little for radios. It got up to a $14,250.00 bid & no others bidders. After the auction the bidder backed out. That...

He loves pancakes for breakfast, cheeseburger & fries for lunch. Some of us were just born with the right genes.

He uses an EFB. He likes AOPA flight planning & Foreflight for flying. He just put new avionics in the Cardinal & a new S-tec autopilot. He demonstrated to me how proficient he is with them all. I asked him to fly us to a fix & in a few seconds we were headed direct.

I had the privilege to fly with a 91 year-old pilot today so he could get signed off for his Flight Review. His knowledge of FAR's, airspace, & his airplane were phenomenal. I had no issue signing his logbook as successfully completing his Flight Review. I also enjoyed the 177RG. I've only...

When i did the annual/pre-buy on my 182 it looked similar inside. It too had corrosion-x applied in the wings. I was relieved when I realized what it was. On a hot summer day it will still weep a little. Interesting note, the fuselage was zinc chromated. It all green & clean. It appears...

Man your title scared me. I expected to see a picture of a twin Cessna on top of a Cardinal. I guess some of "older" pilots aren't used to giving the "411". We just remember the airplane. LOL (I believe this means what I posted is funny)

I've decided to put my soaring business on hold this year. For the last two years my wife & I have busted our rears every warm weekend at the airport running the business. We decided we need a break. I changed my 182 insurance for personal use only. Full coverage with high liability limits &...

Potato salad. I like it with Miracle Whip & mustard as a base. Then it needs lots of hard-boiled eggs in it & sliced on top. Lots of onion is important too especially Walla Walla Sweet onions!

If your budget is truly 50K to 60K plus you seem to want some decent performance & maybe IFR? If I were in your shoes I'd do one of two things. Partner or flying club. As you know, airplane prices have taken an uptick & your budget just won't buy much these days. At least with the...

Since I happen to be fluent in Danish I could read the sky writing. 4,995K is a hell of a deal on Siemens washers. (washing machine). Is that what all the hubbub was about?

Thanks for all of your responses. Some of you had very little training before going solo in a TW airplane. That was also my experience. A friend of mine who is an IA had just completed a rebuild of a 2-33 sailplane & wanted to test fly it. Problem was he need a towpilot. This was way back...

It sounds like he's lucky the damage wasn't worse. Like I've stated before, I don't get this fascination with landing on sandbars along a river's edge. Not me in my airplane. My question is how your insurance carrier would like paying on the claim? To each their own. My .02 worth.

Tonight at our EAA meeting I had a pilot approach me about getting his tailwheel endorsement in a Kitfox that he recently purchased. He asked me how many hours it would take to get his endorsement. I told him I'd sign him off when he was proficient. Typically how much time does the average...
