Thank you! I had NO idea that a SR-71 was at the March Field Air Museum! And I've lived out in SoCal all my life! D'oh! That is now a "must visit" location for me!

Congrats on the Corolla Hatchback! It will serve you well and reliably! I was going to recommend the Hyundai Elantra N, Kia K5 or the Honda Civic Si since they were roughly in the same genre as the GTI. Pity about the GTI. The VW/Audi 2.0 has an oil scraper ring on the piston issue (even...

Me too. According to the report, one witness reported a hard landing. If so, and my pure speculative guess, it could be that the mains hit hard (what the camera may have captured) and the CFI may have initiated a go-around. Sadly it sounds like the student grabbed the stick and pulled back to...

My hangar does get inspected from time to time (in other words, airport facility can access the hangar) who may lean or brush up against the plane. I also have vehicles in the hangar (parked close) so don't want the plane moving into the car and denting a wing or damaging the prop. And I do...

Sincere condolences. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

KIZA (Santa Ynez) - can get to Solvang and wineries fairly quickly, and there are hotels in town for overnight stays. If you have life vests (and/or a raft), maybe KAVX (Catalina Island)?

Good shops are hard to find. Tougher in SoCal. I know of a good avionics shop, but he's in Florida and likely booked for a while too. Seen some questionable work on my plane after just purchasing it. IMO, the trick is to find someone that knows the plane (or does good work and will come to...

Very saddening. Blue Skies Wayne.

Check with Patrick Arnzen at Thrust Flight (Addison, TX). Czech Sport Aircraft folded their operations in Utah (formerly Sebastian, TX) and went back to the long time distributor Thrust Flight (formerly US Sport Aircraft.) If interested in the Sportcruiser, join us at SCflier.com for more...

Kind of surprised nobody's mentioned AZ or NV. Maybe too far west? But compared to crazy California airspace, AZ and NV are breaths of wide-open, uncontrolled fresh air! There's some private airparks in Northern Arizona, and land is still affordable. More urban areas of Arizona are pretty...

Another vote for T-Mobile. Worked in the various countries (Asian and Eastern Europe) countries seamlessly. I used Facetime or Google Voice for calls, but if needed, I cell call was a non-issue and per-minute rates were not bad.

I use anti-sieze on the lugnuts on my vehicles. I also use a torque wrench (and note that with antiseize, torque values will need to increase a little.) I always double check tire center's torquing of the lug nuts. But more importantly, tell the tire shop to use a torque wrench or a torque...

I just PM'd with a LSRM / CFI I use near Ocala if that's close and helpful...

I have a GDL-39 3D hard wired to my plane with an external antenna. Works very and provides data to my Aera 660 and Bluetooth works without issue to my iPhone and iPad. I use it with ForeFlight on the Apple devices. I’d forgo the battery unless you plan to move it from plane to plane often...

GAP apparently still have corduroy pants. (www.gap.com)

Happy New Year!
