    Trying to get a lost dog home

    A friend told me about a dog that was lost in Williamsburg, Va by a retired police officer. She is trying to get him home to Texas and asked me to put the word out. Anyone know of a group or can help?

    Crosswind and wheel landings

    Wheel landings for me were easier. They made a lot of sense to me - even with the crosswind. I’m just fighting the rollout! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Crosswind and wheel landings

    @Jimmy I was fine on the landings, but started oscillating afterwards. We figured out that I was looking about 1500’ ahead rather than at the end of the runway. That helped a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Crosswind and wheel landings

    It was crosswind today and I did 3point and Wheel landings. Both went really well. Wheel landings were not as difficult as I had thought. Lots of my PPL crosswind technique translated. Rudder over controlling is still an issue. Next session should clear it up as it was starting to click. After...

    First Tailwheel Session - 1947 J3

    Yep. You can’t relax until the engine is off. We talked about what I was feeling and we think I was keeping pressure on both pedals like I would in a Tecnam, and that just make me use too much pressure to overcome the other foot. Tomorrow I’ll work it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Tailwheel Session - 1947 J3

    First time flying something different than the Tecnam P92 in which I trained. Sweet 1947 J3. No flaps. Fun plane to fly. Really made me work the rudder because the huge ailerons caused significant adverse yaw. Also damn easy to fly. Did 3 point landings on asphalt and they were no problem...

    Taking your dog flying

    Anybody fly regularly with their dog? When I buy my own plane, I thought about how my dog would do. Would love to bring her with me with doggie hearing protection. Any advice?

    Passed my checkride today

    I’m 55 and finally did it. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this day.

    Passed my checkride today

    It seems surreal. After months of study and twice having to reschedule for weather I got my checkride today. Lots of thermals and I was nervous, but I passed and got my certificate.

    Looking for interesting planes and interesting stories

    Yep, that’s the kind of films. It’s all about the love of flying. Just like the people who have their dream car and love it and can talk about how it makes them feel when they hear it or work on it. When they talk, they can go on and on about the specs, but that’s not what they really talk...

    Looking for interesting planes and interesting stories

    I like Aviation101 and his cross country stuff he did in the Mooney. Yep, I've done vlogging and made some more involved videos. This is going to include some learning on my part (if you aren't learning, it's not as fun for me)

    Looking for interesting planes and interesting stories

    Checkride didn't go. Examiner got stuck on I-95 for 3 hours. Gusty crosswind kicked up. He's leaving for Myrtle Beach and wouldn't be able to finish until July 2. Got Monday afternoon scheduled with another examiner. Fingers crossed the winds cooperate. I agree with you about the state of...

    Looking for interesting planes and interesting stories

    I've had something on my mind for a while. I used to make a vlog and I follow all the normal people (Trent, Cory, Mike Patey, Flightchops, etc). However, I'm wanting to do something different. One of my favorite car sites is Petrolicious. Why? Because each film is a love story between the car...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Was supposed to do my checkride today. Gusty crosswind kicked up and examiner was stacked up and leaving town for 2 weeks. So, I decided not to start with him. Have it rescheduled for Monday with another examiner. Hopefully the weather will work, but that's flying!

    I follow his stuff, too. I really haven't seen anything out there like what I want to make.

    This is exactly the type of story I'm looking for. I'll definitely get up with you!
