    Getting an Aerobatic Plane?

    Things may be closer than you'd expect...although I'll admit I'm farther than I want to be. Nothing wrong with setting goals ;) Looking for more performance than the c-150. An older friend has a Pitts (bought it as a two seater and converted to a 1 seater I believe), he's at the age where he's...

    Nice day at work...

    Already did, which is how I knew about him being in Idaho. Seems like a pretty incredible guy. Currently listening to one of the lectures on his website. Did he charge anything besides the costs for flying him out there and putting him up in a hotel?

    Anyone use a Come to you School?

    Time is something you never get back. Getting an IFR rating in 10 days is a heck of a lot easier and less time comsuming than spending month(s) trying to do it at a local flight school. I spent a year getting my PPL, mostly do to financial constraints. After doing that, the idea that I can get...

    Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse

    I flew commercial into LGA and stayed in Manhattan for a week back in July. I would've loved to tour either of those.

    Triple Tree

    So, after lots of driving I made it out! I was only able to stay for today, but I'm glad I made the trip.
