    Who Flies Real IFR?

    I have a Cardinal RG with a Garmin 430 (non-waas) and a second nav-com with ILS and a DME (also an ADF but that’s becoming less and less useful). Real IMC is common at KLBX south of Houston so I don’t have a problem staying current flying actual approaches. I fly practice approaches to 200’...

    Bird strike in a Cessna Skycatcher

    Mine was a cormorant that was part of a flock. It hit the metal strip at the top of the windshield on a 56 172. No damage but a black oily streak that stunk to high heaven and was hard to scrub off. Glad you’re OK

    Air-to-Air Sedona, AZ - November 2019

    Great job all! Beautiful planes, great photos from Jack, and fantastic backgrounds. I’m guessing we’ll see a lot more covers out of this trip. Jack There are several contests going on from various websites. I’m hoping you’ll be entering some from the models that don’t have type magazines...

    Training flight to Mexico

    Maybe check on the Baja Bush Pilots site. Odds are that at least one of their members is a CFII. That group tends to know the in’s-and-outs of flying in Mexico. gary

    Air-to-Air Cessna 310R

    The photos were awesome but I liked the article that went with this one. It’s well worth the read and articles like that are part of why I renewed my Cessna Owner’s membership. gary

    Petroleum Service Company?

    I know you’re looking locally. Finding one at an airport near you could minimize the problem of where to keep it. A new pilot I know in the Houston area wanted to buy a plane and keep it in a hanger. The field near him had a long wait list for hangers so he didn’t know if he’d buy. He...

    KHYS TO KLAW, Flight Plan

    You can file IFR and ATC will keep you legal. If the restricted space isn’t active when you need to pass through they may route you through that area. I played with the route and direct to reyog then direct to Lawton only adds 4 minutes versus just direct to Lawton and keeps you out of the...

    You might check with some insurance underwriters. You probably wouldn’t have any issue getting insurance for a 182 but getting insured in a 210 for basic flight training would probably be a problem. A 182 sounds like a good choice based on your criteria. It will be a good choice for your...

    Fly In - day after reflection on idiots in pattern

    I was on a hike in the boy scouts near Yuma when we crossed the firing range while this Comanche happened to be making a gun run. We found out about the gun run when a whole bunch of security folks showed up. Apparently the front seater in the Comanche spotted us and stopped the run. We were...
