    Airport name to use?

    KCDK in Cedar Key FL is officially on the charts George Lewis Airfield... no one local uses that or seems to know the reason....I researched until I found they named it (I think in the 1950s) after a local non pilot resident who commonly rendered aid to pilots in need, there being (still) no...

    Farm auctions are weird.

    When I lived about a mile from Chester County SC airport and we had a couple year drought, dropping the level of our 2ac pond, found an old transponder in the mud....no other airplane parts were found.

    Grumman Tiger, good bad and ugly

    Type Certificate for AA5, AG5, etc now held by TrueFlight Aerospace out of KVLD. If their recent expansion is a hint, something may be brewing there.

    Thinking about getting my wife a birthday present rant

    Have “the talk”: why in the world should two rational adults have to go through the rituals every year on b-days, anniversaries, and holidays to try to assuage the collective societal guilt of gift giving? We both buy what we need or want, when we need or want it - that is good enough, we are...

    Coastal MOAs South Carolina / Georgia

    Flying from FL to VA I traverse these MOAs all the time. I’m always on flight following. If one is hot ATC will advise, and offer a vector or a VOR to avoid it. Once they even mentioned possibly cancelling flight following, presumably to allow me to blast on through. Never really been an...

    I just wanna watch a movie

    My wife serves as my IT Dept - I have no idea how to find stuff on TV anymore. Glad I don’t watch much these days.

    Must have aviation apps for Apple Watch

    Have a METAR/TAF app for my Garmin Vivoactive 4S. Don’t know if it’s available for Apple. It does also O2 sat, but not sure I’d trust it over a finger pulse ox for flight. Altimeter not uncommonly puts me below the ground at KCDK. Love the Vivoactive BTW...less expensive than Apple and actually...

    Cedar Key

    Neighbors and carts are hit and miss. (BTW I may have been one of those neighbors, I’ve given cart rides downtown more than once) Anyone COULD monitor CTAF, Judy has no corner on that market. A couple of years ago a fellow tried a bike rickshaw service but apparently found being generally...

    Cedar Key

    Judy provides a service at KCDK that no one else does - take it or leave it. Many are glad to take it.

    A Milestone

    Pennsylvania to the Florida Keys

    Cheap fuel, VERY nice FBO, friendly folks, easy in and out. Recently resurfaced. I always fuel there on way to KCDK.
