I've been instructing in a Cherokee 140 with an engine that has begun leaking oil at the case seal around the case bolts. Top near the front. I've seen other aircraft engines that have been gooped up with something like silicone/JB Weld to stop this sort of oil seepage. Is this an accepted...

Almost my story as well. Getting the cert has led me to over 3000 hrs with several Part 135 operators in Alaska. I do a lot of independent CFIing now as well. Contract PC-12 flying and instructing are all I do anymore after a background in construction. Got the cert then saw opportunities. It...

Hey Robert! How about F70? Didn't you used to have a 172? Pretty sure we've flown together before many years ago. PM me if F70 works. We can get it done fairly quickly and the DPE here is not too tough to schedule.

From the Garmin website re: The GNC 255: "The device even automatically decodes a station’s Morse code to provide a positive identification – no aural decoding required." I've taken numerous part 135 checkrides in Garmin equipped aircraft. The check airmen (and FAA) have always been happy...

Mid-life career changer here. Other than some CFIing, C-208 was my first pro pilot job. Logged about 2000 hours in them before moving to faster equipment. The view from the front seats is outstanding as you are well in front of the wing and the wind screen is huge. When I would do glacier tours...

If it can be repaired, these guys can do it. http://www.customaircraft.com/ I had a Cherokee exhaust repaired there and it looked like new when I got it back. Absolutely no sign of it having been repaired. I flew the plane another 1000 hrs before selling it.

If you had a plane full of locals coming home from a trip to Walmart, you prolly had plenty of Pabst or Rainier as well. Maybe even some Fireball.

Alaska flies twice a day between Petersburg and Wrangell. Once each way. 27 miles. In the Summer months, Alaska flies once a day between Juneau and Gustavus. 36 miles.

Fast Eddies. Great place to stop.

Sounds like you may be thinking of Runway Status Lights. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl/pet/

Mariposa-Yosemite is about as close as you'll get. Nice airport. Call ahead about rental cars. Merced calls itself the Gateway to Yosemite. I wouldn't stay at any of the hotels there. Fresno??? Well, it's Fresno. You could go to Mammoth-Yosemite (KMMH) airport, rent a car and drive over Tioga...

The pilots are all friends and former co-workers. All Juneau residents. Bridger has been contracted to work the fires burning in the interior of AK.

Part 135, single pilot, VFR/IFR. Both freight and people. Company has Cessna 208s, PC12s and 6 float planes. I fly the PC12s after I flew 3000 hrs in the 208s. You must be comfortable with SPIFR flying full approaches, often no radar. No VTF here. More IMC than you want for sure. But it is some...

I fly in Alaska as a part time/retirement gig. Money is pretty good now and equipment is well kept. Been doing it now for 10 years.

Glad you were able to get here and enjoy some of the great weather we've been having. Glacier Bay is some wonderful flying. If you're still here and have time, Sitka is a great quick destination. Very good airport restaurant and the most beautiful approaches you can imagine. Skagway is fun too.

Coast Flight at MYF uses SR20s. https://iflycoast.com/coast-flight-training-san-diego-california/ EFI at French Valley (F70) also has an SR20 for training. https://flyefi.com/cirrus-flight-training/

Looks like a Honda VTX. Honda made two sizes. 1300 and 1800 cc.

Especially in Alaska.
