I like the Mooneys and may buy one when I retire. I have time in the C, F, 201 and 231 but probably 100 hours total and most of it in a C. In the C my seat was very close to the back seat, no one could sit behind me, I am 6'4". The others were much better. I really liked the F but it needed a...

You might check Texas Farm Bureau. We went from Geico to them 5 years ago and the rate was 1/2 of Geico. Texas Farm Bureau has raised their rates over the last 5 years, but I am sure everyone has. We have had no claims with them I can say Geico was great on the ones we had with them...

This one is 7 months old and they are adding airports all the time. I can only find it when I am making a payment.

or - If you don't know I am not going to tell you.

It is horrible to see what has happened to Venezuela. The wife and I spent close to 2 years there in the early 2000's on a boat. When 9/11 happened, some locals opened their house for several of us to watch the news. Others would come up to us in town and express how sorry they were that it...

When mom sliced raw potatoes, she would give me a few slices to eat. I thought they were great with salt. May have to try it again.

Which gyro was spinning up? If it was the T&B it looks like it may be normal according to the 182P manual I found.

Or the pilot reported it, and nothing was done. Back in the 80's I instructed at a community college club, I once grounded a C152 because it would not make power and when I pulled the engine through it had one dead cylinder. Next day I noticed it was back active. I asked the club mechanic about...

I bought one similar to this after my PTT switch failed after leg one of a multi leg/day trip at KIWS. I used hand mic for the rest of leg one. It is still in the plane in case the PTT fails again.

I worked for a rancher that had over 100,000 acres of land in NM. Water was a big deal but so was access to electricity. One of the ranches, over 50,000 acres, he owned out there had no access to electricity. The workers homes all ran off generators.

Over the last 40 years we have had 4 cats. Traveled with the first one several times, very little problem. We had the next two at the same time. They traveled with us some and were only mildly annoying for about 15 minutes and then quiet. Our current one makes the sounds that Albany Tom...

How often are filters supposed to be changed? From 2007 to 2022 I occasionally flew into a remote Texas airport that has Self serve fuel. It has both Jet and 100ll, last filter change 1999! I took this picture in 02/2020. In all the times I was there I never ran into an employee. Only a very...

Wife and I spent our honeymoon in SPI, 1984, yes 40th 3 months ago. I flew down there a lot in the mid 80's. The company I flew for then owned the SPI Hilton now known as Isla Grand Beach Resort. The owner of the company gave us his condo on the top center of Saida 5 to stay in. We went down...

I very rarely have problems using Jepp for updates. Last time was probably 4 or 5 years ago. Cannot update via WiFi but it sounds like a lot of Garmin customers can’t either. Something to consider.

North of EDC at the SW corner of 45 and 130 there are several hotels and restaurants. When I fly into EDC I usually get a crew car and drive up there to have lunch.

Maybe they had IFR traffic inbound and there was only a 3 minute window to get you out or a long wait. If you cannot be ready by the void time just tell ATC. One way to be ready quicker is to just put the first 20 or so minutes of the route into the box. After takeoff and when things slow down...

I do not believe 120's were made with an electrical system.

I wish ATC would not release without void times at uncontrolled airports. I once had a trainer, that had been released, sit there for another 15 minutes before departing. We could not be released because they had been.

I have been waiting for your Kiritimati write up. 6 months after I had graduated high school in 1980, I spent a night there in the Capitan Cook Hotel. A friend of my dad had a Lockheed Lodestar that had been modified into a Learstar II. Dad talked his friend into letting me ride along on a trip...

I saw it at FTW several years ago and took this picture. Great looking airplane.
