I will have my F33A in general Aviation parking and if we can hook up you are welcome to look at mine BUT I only fly in and out ONCE. My son will be there with his Cherokee Six. Contact me via PM here when it gets closer.

The lady someone asked about that flies an Ercoupe with her feet is Jessica Cox. I have listened to her speak, watched the movie about her and met her and her husband in person at the grocery store in OSH. A very nice and inspiring young lady. Her accomplishments are awe inspiring...

Some good advice here but let me add my thoughts. I had to pull a cylinder at annual due to low compression and had to rehone the exhaust valve seat. The shop I sent it to hates LOP ops but when I pointed out how clean the exhaust port of the cylinder was, they couldn’t argue. The valve seat...

Recently retired after 40 years of airline flying. My company is hiring BUT to be competitive you will need International Heavy time and PIC in jets. There are exceptions but generally the times I was seeing were in the 5000K hours and up. Also the Hogan personality test gets 65 % of the...

My insurance broker just informed me that my policy was going up about $200/year. They shop many different providers and the one I am with now (Global) was the lowest increase. I attended a Bonanza specific flight training during the year as well as the ABS Safety seminar, member of the wings...

Twotters! About 1600 hours flying them in the late 70’s and early 80’s in Texas. Never realized how much fun we were having back then. Still treasure my 1000 hour tie tac from DeHavilland. Found the Champ I took my first lessons in here in the Austin TX area. Need to go and see it. The 150...

I saw the AeroCreeper at Oshkosh last year and love it. It uses mechanical leverage to raise and lower - not hydraulics - very good price. I use it as a rolling seat with a backrest. Take a look...no, I am not part of this company but just like it.

Larry You’re correct. In Europe they use the lowest altitude to start the transition level going up and transition altitude going down. Generally in Germany it was 7000 feet but I have had it as low as 4000. In Europe they say FL 100/200/300. I like having a standard altitude that we use...

Heard this many times....climb and maintain or descend and maintain FL 100 or 200 or 300 not 10K, 20 K or 30 K What do you guys recommend for calling traffic you see on the GPS via ADSB? It is NOT TCAS

I agree with most of these...I don't do circling approaches...well I haven't in thirty plus years = my company had a 1000/3 min for them and we considered them an emergency procedure...CAT D aircraft. You want to confuse an airline pilot? Give them a cruise clearance...again most of us haven't...

G&D Aero Custom window inserts. Not cheap but fantastic You can use static cling film also but do not use the kind that has adhesive

Thanks. All the same rules and regs apply and my license is the same as a pax pilot. The "forced" retirement age is now 65 and will probably be raised in the future due to the lack of pilots. Some countries used to use 55 but I cannot think of any now. As for me...after thirty years of night...

Turner, May be down that way before too long. Will let you know in advance. 75 hours so far. We may have to eat cat food but Sierra will stay.

Yes, quite a few times. I was hired by Dave Boatman there. Based in Longview and Lawton. Didn’t realize the how much fun we were having.

If you knew any of the people I flew/fly with they would laugh loudly over that. I have survived 40 years of flying and 63 years of living without alcohol and coffee. Married to the same lady for 43 years. Not a slam clicker but helped carry more than a few pilots and flight attendants back...

Will be getting involved in the CAF and a B-25 Squadron. I am retired and buying a warbird is way way way out of my budget.

What's their name? Don't know a lot of the newbies up in ANC.

Yep, Tower T's number 15. I am good friends with Scott Richter as SR Aviation and he has a lot of contacts. Already talked to a couple. Not wanting anything full time but just flying for fun (and money). Not sure about the instructing gig...I enjoy all of it but it has been a LONG time. I...

Yes, I know Tom. Great guy. I was truly blessed to be there. Just knowing the right guy and being in the right place.

I will. I have observed your program via the internet but never got involved due to the time required for my job. I definitely will get with you soon.
