But, would you fly one in a 25-knot crosswind? :D

Yup. Same here.

RIP.

A fixer-upper for sure. I’d consider something like that. It’s definitely in my price range.

Agreed. Fabric can hide a multitude of sins! I'm in no rush, so it should be possible to find a good one in the next 2-3 years.

Sounds good to me. :D Besides, they look goofy as tri-gear.

Can you elaborate?

as my next airplane, should the LSA limits be revised upward. Yes, a PA-20. Looks like a reasonable cross country as well as bush platform. Any owners care to chime in?

Shep, that’s one plane I dream of owning.

I’m sure he has more night landings than just one flight.

I should have added: “That’s the pilot’s job.” But I do feel sorry for the guy. None of us are immune to complacency or inattention/distraction, especially when there is an unexpected change in routine.

How the hell does the airplane know whether it's landing on water or terra firma?

I'm going to be the contrarian and say 172, if that's what you will be instructing in. Revolutionary. But seriously, I doubt it matters.

Well, true if there's a designated practice area. Transient pilots may not know of this. Still, a clearing turn is supposed to help you check for conflicting traffic, before initiating maneuvers, is it not?

Probably got tired of... something. Can't quite put a finger on it. Maybe he's on a covert op.

What say you, @mscard88? Hope this is not too political.

Doesn’t have to be a war. We just refuse to pay taxes until the government pays attention. They can’t throw us all in jail!

for another American revolution?

Perfect weather here today. Waiting for a new mag switch, so no aviating. Guess the monsoon will return after the old girl is airworthy. FWIW I did get in a nice bike ride.

It'll buff right out...
