    How many hours did you fly in 2023?

    38.8, but my plane was in the repair shop Jan - Jun, so really only half the year. 2024 resolution - Fly More!

    Low Passes

    Not quite as nice as the Lake Norman property, but here's my backyard at Lake Oconee - 32GA. It was a lot more affordable than the Lake Norman properties. And yes, with all those trees around, we regularly do low passes looking for wildlife runway incursions.

    At 39 - go Basic Med?

    Known downsides: Canada does not currently accept BasicMed, so no overfly Canada (including flights to Alaska) Cannot serve as a safety pilot with BasicMed (Congressional wording snafu) Aircraft operating limits of BasicMed You can always go back and get a 3rd class medical if you need it...

    Flying in for GA Tech game?

    Shouldn't be any problems for you making it out. As a Citadel grad, went to the GT game 2 years ago when we beat GT in overtime and had no issues with the home team fans even after suffering an unexpected loss.

    Famous pilots you have met.......I'll start out...

    Group of six of us at Oshkosh on Sun before the show opened - had spent most of the day wandering the grounds and we were hot and tired, so stopped by one of the A&Ws for a root beer float. Sat down at a table occupied by a lone gentleman. Struck up a conversation and come to realize we were...

    Thoughts on Vans RV?

    Mine has that mod and I'm based at a grass strip (32GA). Fly good soft-field technique on take-off and landing, be primed for go-around at first bounce, and you should be fine.

    Turn on course / turn out - what exactly does that mean?

    Sometimes airports will also have noise abatement procedures which will dictate at what altitude turns from runway heading can be made.

    Thoughts on Vans RV?

    I bought an RV-6A and have not regretted it. It was a basic VFR 6A, priced in the mid-$40s when I bought it in Dec 2018, but a year in, I upgraded to Garmin all-glass, IFR capable panel which almost doubled my investment cost, but also greatly expanded my flying options. As others have said...

    #OSH21 Jambalaya/Chili Party Tuesday

    Planning to be there - two of us. If we can find it. Searched and searched in '19 and never found it. Grant, if you're open to it, send me a PM with a cell number where I could reach out if we can't find it again this year. Hopefully the signs will help.
