Had a Flight Design CTsw for about 3 years and had a blast with it. Flew it from NY to Seattle with my daughter. Made it home in a day and a half. Loved that plane. Sold it because I bought a (180hp Lycoming powered) Husky. Now I fly slower, burn more fuel and don’t have an autopilot or...

I got tired of hearing my brother rave about how much he loved his Husky, so I finally got one in 2019. As a total coincidence, it matched his airplane and after 150 hours, I’m as thrilled with the dog as he is with his. We managed to get together for a family portrait just after I bought it.

1 mile from San Antonio is Twin Oaks airport (T94). I delivered an airplane there last year and thought it was the most unusual airpark I’d ever seen. It was like landing in a tight neighborhood. Look it up on Google Maps. Absolute blast going there. Dropped pin Near Uptown, San Antonio, TX...

Jet-A federal taxes are $0.22 and state taxes are mostly around $.03. Car gas is $0.18 a gallon on the federal level.

Really exhaustive look at how switching to reduced or no lead fuel could affect GA just came out. It’s a free download. https://www.nap.edu/catalog/26050/options-for-reducing-lead-emissions-from-piston-engine-aircraft

Rumors are that a new iPad Mini with a slightly different design is eminent.

“7500” on Amazon Prime blew me away. It’s really a tough subject matter and downright nauseating but they absolutely nailed the cockpit communication, mannerisms and call outs. That said, you really might not want to watch it.
