As someone who owns more airplanes than common sense, I will say that buying your own airplane is the most convenient, easiest and cheapest way to get experience. I’ve owned skippers, 150’s, and other little airplanes that while not fast, at 5/6 gallons per hour, are certainly economical. I’ve...

Johnson propeller is a good shop, but they’ve been getting a little idealistic- no longer doing IRANs or AD inspections of beyond the 10 year mark. Stockton closed. Henry thankfully closed and their props are subject to ADs. Golden State Propeller in San Luis Obispo seems to do good work...

I was around for the disgusting Meigs Field pillaging. I parked outside for along time at midway and also ended up at Naperville Aero for a while. Things won’t change and airports will continue to shrink. I’m lucky enough to own a paint / upholstery / avionics shop. I see all sorts of planes...

I became a pilot at 19. I’m 57. I bought my first airplane a looong time ago. I got into the aviation business in the last 2-3 years. If I knew then what I know now…. The cheapest way to accumulate hours is owning your own plane- period. Unless you have someone letting you use theirs for...

Kobe Jones had a practically unlimited flying money budget. I didn’t know him but I knew his pilot. I’ve been flying since 19 and owned airplanes for decades. I worked 10-15 a to ates in the Midwest or Midwest adjacent in my non- FIKi turbo mooney. I have an IFR rating and have a healthy...

Hey - I’m interested in buying a pma 8000 also…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Meh. Politics are such that politicians are super easy to buy for not much money depending on how you allocate your funds, you can buy certain keyhole legislation items to suit your goals. General aviation members are too clean and too forgiving to hire the regular rank and file lobbyist in...

And if you’re a Super Bowl fanboy…you deserve and are entitled to pay those prices for aviation parking. They only charge that because idiots are willing to pay, simple. This is how bourgeois and elitist societies are created.

Brand new, never used Garmin IFR GPS155XL. It includes a brand new, never installed AK950 annunciator, new Garmin GA-56 GPS Antenna, installation kit, and unused registration card. Why buy a used one on eBay for $1700 when you can have a *brand new one* here that includes the antenna...

I’ve trained in the ringsports for nearly 20 years. We produce most of the dogs that law enforcement and the military use as our castoffs - knpv, French and mondo ring, nbvk……I’ve taken bites after bites after bites…. We don’t kick dogs. Ever. We motivate them, raise their drive, agitate them...

Got one. PM me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im too busy trying to paint, upholster or install radios in all y’all’s birds :) But yes I fly all of them… When we find an airplane that’s been sitting a while, we bring it back to shape and fly it for 25-50 hours. We’ve been using some of these planes to improve some of our shop processes...

Evtols (eye roll)…the latest venture capital / private equity scam. Will there be some? Sure. Meh

Once I worked for the #1 stock of the decade for a while. I covered from blue bell to chicago, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, Minneapolis and everything in between. I chose to fly for work when I could. Along the way I upgraded to a turbo mooney, not FIKI. I flew it everywhere...

Blah blah blah. Lots of people will share with you how to do it the hard way. I teach kids how to get bachelor degrees with 4.0’s as a hobby. In record time. College choice doesn’t matter. On principle I got one recently, 145 semester units at a brick and mortar college, in 1 year and 1...
