I was in your position several years ago... so I have been there done that. Tips for you, and I hope I am not repeating what others are advising above... esp the "Mission" question. I wanted to travel, so an ultralight was out of the question for ex. I had/have a PPL so I did not go the "Sport...

Great article Kent... 10 years from now when I am sitting on my porch with my tongue hanging out, my wife will be reading an article to me about how I spent way too many hours talking on my cell phone to my airplane pals back in the 2000's... there is always something that we humans embrace for...

Cirrus is owned by the Chinese.

The flying equivalent of Jussie... the first few minutes look like a Sat Night Live skit... not entertaining at all, bad for the pilot population.

Great stuff Dana...

"42B" Goodspeed Airport in East Haddam CT; 1/8th of a mile away walk (and nice walk BTW). "Higher Grounds" restaurant in East Haddam CT...Great breakfast and lunch...and has vegetarian meals which my veg friend appreciated. Goodspeed is under new ownership/management. A very cool approach...

Kent Wien's videos... the DC-9 vid is excellent.

If you are targeting LSA... do NOT rule out the CTSW or CTLS... or as my friend Kent says... the new F2 from Flight Design. I owned a CTLSi for 3 years... loved every minute of it. The posse I would fly with sometimes was a hodgepodge of older GA's... Bonanza, Arrow, 172, 182 and the CTLSi...

As Dana said... try Goodspeed (42B). Literally park and walk to a pretty good restaurant with outstanding views of the CT River... The airport is under new ownership, management... very nice folks. The airport approach is really cool... check it out on Google Maps...

In my CTLSi, which I have sold, I went from Connecticut to OSH, and back... made it each way in one day. Then I traveled to Southern Illinois from CT... I made it back in one day. SLA's are real airplanes. The Flight Design line makes it easy. I could have made it back from OSH without...

I am based at KSNC as well, and I love seeing that beautiful plane in the pattern... great post, congrats on a fun trip.

I agree. I suppose the business case will make sense one day... no gas $ spent (typically 17-20% of an airlines' revenues), and no $ pilot wages, pensions, strikes, training, and personal days off. Oh, and battery life beyond a standard pizza delivery run would help. Yeah, I don't see it...

nice... anyway, I used high quality marine white tape it is designed for extremely hot surfaces and it will peel off as soon as I figure out where straight ahead is... I tested the tape after 2 flights, comes right up...

I placed 3 pcs of white tape on my plane. One, centered on the cockpit dashboard, the next one in the middle of the engine cowling, and the third pc on the front edge of the leading edge of the front cowling... all forming a straight line. My ACI would say "Gunsight" and that was code for a...

The iPhone screen (in a cradle attached to the windscreen) revealed the call only... normal green/red button to click on... no messages regarding audio source but I will pay attention next time. Thank you for your reply

I linked up the iPhone ito the Bose headset via bluetooth the other day. While flying, I received a phone call. I could hear the ring in the Bose no problem. When I answered I could not hear the person on the other line. Later, the person told me that they could not hear my voice, just the...

I took my son up for a first ride in the new (to us) plane… he loved it. Have enough landing confidence to fly to OSH

I like that there are a bunch of non pilots visiting (car show draws them in as well)… helps push General Aviation in general and helps with the airport is a good neighbor program

A great airshow… I will be there

Solo’d yesterday in the Husky, felt great.
