I'll be bringing my new (to me) Clarion "Clara" with my new trailer. Right now I have to get the engine A/C and the generator serviced, along with fun stuff like shocks and the steering damper. We made a 1400 mile shakedown trip and survived. I decided to calm down and go with the flow. I will...

I flew in on the first Cherokee mass arrival. It was *cough* an adventure. As in, I never knew I could apply brakes in the air.

We taxied up, guided by Camper Canine Cruise Control

You shouldda got in touch with me. You could have joined us.

A one-legged airplane enthusiast from Suffolk who crashed a plane after authorities had repeatedly warned him not to fly was sentenced Friday to two weeks in jail. Robert R. Gray Jr., 55, pleaded guilty in December to flying without a license. According to court documents, Gray, who uses a...

My Mom was sure every plane that made the news was me. We should have a pre-made "It wasn't me. I'm fine!" text.

Jerry Seinfeld: "Men only replace their underwear when the last bit turns to fuzz and flies out the window." You know the SOP for Hollywood elites is to never wear a pair of socks more than once. They pack new socks and thrown out the pair afetr a single wearing.

Hey! The tax bill just passed by the U S Senate prohibits any tax on aircraft Management services, flights, or aircraft maintenance. https://twitter.com/robferdman/status/936753264783233024 I'm SURE they had us single piston engine airplane owners in mind when that was added. (SHHH. Stay...

They want you to document a fix? Write your own entry in the plane log: "mm/dd/yyyy Operation checked. No problem found. Joe Pilot, Operator"

Welcome to my cluttered old brain....

We had teh discussion on the Piper group and decided that the tail hook is well connected to the frame so it's OK to pull by it. I was thinking of putting a 12v power winch in my hangar but with no power available it'd be a pain.

OK, guyz, I need a tug real bad. I was sore for the entire day after the last time I pushed the plane back I by my ownself, and besides there may come a time when I can't put it back by myself. The plane is a Cherokee heavy. A 1968 Piper Cherokee 235 that has wheel pants where there is no...

I just had my optomologist rant that you don't need both eyes for distant depth perception. Both eyes are only a factor at 14 feet or less. I mentioned that accident where the Captain with monocular vision was blamed for landing short. "Jim McMahon could throw accurately with one eye!" So...

Set up AES encryption and segregate any devices that need WPA2.

I'm amazed that the muscle memory of how to fly the plane through the eye of a needle is back as good as ever. What is rusty is all of the confident knowledge of spotting landmarks and figuring approach to landing patterns.

I get ya that we don't have the conflict resolution negotiation that the new TCAS does, but maybe if we did the standard turn to the right or such it would be a good practice. I once encountered an airliner maybe 400 feet above in the floor of the Bravo turning to face me head on. I turned...

"Do you have a display of traffic in the cockpit?" "Did you notice the potential conflict?" "Did you visually search for the other aircraft?" "Did you receive a visual traffic alert?" "Did you receive an audible traffic alert!" "Did you visually search for the other aircraft?" "Did you take any...

PROHIBITED is funny. If you're flying VFR and not talking to ATC you can do whatever ya want. I didn't see a predicted flight path but whatever that slow target was would have to be a ultralight or something like that. It practically hovered a few miles to the left of my course until I caught...

I only got my ADS-B IN working in Foreflight on my new (to me) iPad on the return leg. It was CAVU although the setting sun was low and blinding behind me. While I was within 10 miles of home and trying to figure out the landmarks and where my airport was, I see no less than 4 traffic targets...

Ya think maybe that NextDoor wants to put the arm on businesses to PAY like Yelp, Angies List and others do? "We can make sure Mr. Suffa's condemnation of your business is FIRST in search results!" This thread reminded me to finish setting up my neighborhood. Suddenly it has 20 members. I...
