    GA airports around Boston, MA

    We were just in Boston. We flew into BVY. Nice field. We parked in the transient parking across from the FBO because I’d lost a wire on my mic connection as we were in the pattern, couldn’t talk to the tower, and that’s where she sent me. The airport office / bathrooms are supposed to be...

    OSH 2021

    My plane and all the ones nearby were fine. The town of Ripon got hit pretty hard. Lots of downed lines and power lines. The news reports I saw said they had high straight-line winds and the entire town lost power. gary

    OSH 2021

    My wife said I got the rate wrong. It was $710 for the three nights. I suspect the locals I see staying here aren’t paying close to that much. If they are they are selling their ‘wares’ for much more than they look like they are worth. Based on their teeth there may be an amateur chemist...

    OSH 2021

    We got in around 11 and they parked us over by Basler’s for GAP parking, row 636. Other than on guy in a 172 that was clueless it was a pretty smooth run. He cut in and squeezed things together so badly when he couldn’t hold a speed that both the RV in front of him and I got sent for a lap...

    Flying with the Saracens

    Nuccio Thank you for posting another great trip report. I especially appreciate the bike tour content you include along with your aerial footage. My wife and I are hoping to be able to travel to Italy again next year and your videos are giving us insight on locations we’d never considered...

    Foreflight or FlyQ (and any deals on these at Oshkosh?)

    I’ve had ForeFlight since the beginning and like it. Good thing since my stratus 2S and 2I won’t work with anything else. I’ve looked at FlyQ but since it would require me to change my AddsB in device it’s not an option for me as long as ForeFlight keeps making me happy. One thing you have...

    4th July flight for fireworks sightseeing over LA (Los Angeles) Basin

    They can be interesting. I was flying into Liberty NE of Kansas City one fourth on an extended downwind when an entire neighborhood launched a lot of rockets / shells right into the pattern in front, beside, and behind me. They were very interesting from eye level. gary

    Cessna Cardinal RG maintenance costs

    So far my only problem with the gear is that a few of the 37 year-old o-rings got hard and started to leak. I can live with having to replace o-rings every 35-40 years. I don’t know where to stories about the gear being difficult and expensive to maintain come from. I’m guessing the stories...

    Cessna Cardinal RG maintenance costs

    First, I also recommend joining Cardinal Flyers. It’s a great type club with a world of information and a ton of owners that are happy to offer help. I’ve had a 74 RG since 2013. I’ve always done owner assisted annuals and the labor I put in helps with costs but my annual maintenance has...

    Best way to plug into the local GA community

    If the airport has commercial service the TSA procedures make it hard to walk around. I’ve rarely had a problem wandering the hangars at sites without commercial service and, especially before noon, usually find at least a couple of people hanging out in hangars that are happy to talk. In...

    Windshield cleaners??

    I read in an old manual that you can clean oil off a windshield with stoddard solvent (a type of white mineral spirits). I even had an old IA recommend it. I have some stoddard solvent but I’m happy using water with a few drops of dawn dishwater detergent. Has anyone actually used stoddard...
