Here is a vid a pal took not too long ago... the approach over the Goodspeed (42B) Bridge and the Connecticut River is super cool...

Keep the 2 sky view screens close to the left side... you will be glad you did. If the PIC switches to the right, you can easily transfer the critical airplane performance Data to the right screen... the sky view is flexible that way

I am a lover of old designs. Rebuilt 3 antiques homes, my present house was built in 1720... a ground up. Not cost effective, a complete labor of love. I splurged on my first plane with all the latest technologies. Primarily for a great glass cockpit and lower operating costs. A few years...

There isn't another video series that reveals so much about decision making, including how the Pilot handled mistakes... but overall, I appreciate the thought process involved and the vid was worth seeing. Plus, I am intrigued by the flying you folks have out west. Sedona looked like an...

Yeah, I am a def. a music dick... can't stand high volume canned e-music in flying vids. There is no value for the swearing in posts and especially vids. Those are the negatives. The positive is that you took a risk of posting a flying vid, which I liked the flying part, and posted it to the...

These mechanical birds need similar transponder rules that we (GA) have...at some point before it gets insane up there.

I read that there is a new "network" (think cellular phone network where your calls move seamlessly from one tower to the next, to the next...) being developed for drones. As batteries become stronger, you could fly your drone 30 miles away, drop your flowers off to your girlfriend's house and...

My favorite airport in New England is "Goodspeed" airport in East Haddam. The approach is typically over a river, over a swing bridge and into the airport... there are good lunch and breakfast places within walking distance and I believe there is a B&B nearby as well, again, within walking...

It is a lobbying organization, pure and simple. As our population continues to slide, and as airports close, we actually do need a group to represent GA with politicians. Politicians only respond to lobbyists who whisper in their ear how much $ they are going to get in the upcoming election...

I had some self-inflicted transponder/gps issues... I have 3 HDX's in my plane. I am a dumbass when it comes to electronics/computers... so I was a bit lost. I called the Dynon support number figuring it would go nowhere like all the other high tech firms out there. I was prepped to leave a...

Ballsey. Not much else to say here...

Very good points in your post. I just returned from a training session with my hard-headed Spaniel... she is 2. Her "Crime" is that she gets too far out and doesn' respond to a verbal "stay close"... as soon as I put the "Shock" collar on (I don't shock her, i have it on the lowest setting...

"Shock" Collars have a bad rap... I bought one years ago and I use it to break bad habits on my bird dogs. However I have never "Shocked" the dog. You don't use the collar to shock and punish - mostly. In training, I use the lowest setting as a reminder... Dogs have ADD and during early...

I agree... and when I re-entered GA, after a gajillion year break (couldn't afford the time or treasure), I watched a ton of Youtube vids on navigation, tower work, cross wind landings, what I learned from that, etc... there are some high quality youtubers out there... I am not a big fan of the...

I don't follow this guy or the other guys from the flying cowboys or whatever you call them... However... I believe they are doing a good service for general aviation and in a small way stemming the tide of the decline in GA. They are attracting young folks to our hobby. That's not a bad...

that beautiful land is in MX ?? Great vid, my family wants me to get a Maule... I spend the day in a pal's Husky this past weekend... holy cow what a machine.

Don't know... experienced pilot in a plane he knew well...

I was pre-flighting my plane a couple of weeks ago and a plane skidded off the runway and into the hangar near mine... hellova sound. I watched the pilot extricate himself and run as fast as he could in case of fire, there was none. For about a minute I asked myself if this hobby of ours is...

Do us all a favor please... gas that sucker up and get out there and fly until after the election. This thread is the only positive thing going in 2020. Well done !!

I don't have anything pithy or intelligent to say here other than I have really enjoyed this post a lot... thank you for taking the time to do it. Love the Geezer over coffee story... there is one of those in every rural town worth a damn. When I travel long distances in my plane (VFR), I am...
