    Flying through MOA and restricted areas

    There probably aren't many because we're up there flying around in circles waiting for you to leave.

    Flying through MOA and restricted areas

    ^ this. Additionally, here, we have to stop all training when a non-participating plane enters the MOA. So while you're trucking through, we're flying in circles wasting time and burning gas waiting for you to leave. I don't know if it's like that with most places but it's not fun. When I...

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    Pretty much all flying. There are like 3 on the approved list, but that's mostly so we can land there on the weekend after they close. if we need to.

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    That one might need doing on a clear day. That's pretty interesting. Reminds me of these two: https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1702/pdf/00545RRZ13R.PDF https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1702/pdf/00545RRY31L.PDF

    They just took off, they're already almost out of gas.:p

    That area is beautiful. We have a low level up there we go to often. Looking forward to doing it.

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    KNMM won't, but KMEI will. I've thought about trying that, just to see if they'd actually notice and follow the procedure. My bet is I would be flying triangles for a while.

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    It's easy on our side, shut up and do as you're told. I'd hate to do it as a controller.

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    Too many close calls with guys not squawking or talking. Radar approaches are fun. I try to get one from KNMM as often as possible. It's all fun and games until your IP makes a no gyros approach and makes you fly off the standbys cross cockpit. Haha. The full procedure NDBs are fun too...

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    I suppose if I pulled back far enough I could get that kind of speed and descent rate. :eek:

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    Yea, my "flying club" gets grumpy if we go to NTAs. Haha. I also think we might be a little fast for that Copter VOR. If I read that plate right, it says to slow to 70kts on final. We have lots of flap, but not that much.

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    That GPS A would be fun since it's mostly watching the plane do its magic and I could peek outside every now and then, but it's untowered :'(

    Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

    I know that an ILS is an ILS and a VOR is a VOR but every now and then one pops up that is more "fun" than others. Wondering if anyone knows of any cool, different, scenic, challenging approaches within about a 350 mile radius of KGTR. Only limitation is that it has to be at a towered...

    Any military aviators on here?

    Send away, happy to help if I can.

    Tell me about the Maxair Drifter

    Interested in one of these that was posted on Barnstormers a while back but there doesn't seem to be much information about them online. I tried looking at the homebuilt and ultralight forums too but couldn't find much. How are they to fly? Any problems aside from the tailboom corrosion if...

    Dollar ride today

    Get to try this new airplane on finally. Hope I don't accidentally try and kill us. Any suggestions in the next couple hours from our guys that have been here before will be appreciated. :-)

    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    Here at the dealership now. New, unsold 14 model. She is mine. :-) I'll do a better report on a real computer.

    Alright, unless someone talks me out of it in the next couple hours, I'm going to do a Triumph Trophy. Go...

    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    I'm really excited about it. Cool airplane, cool mission, and get to fly all the time. That is a sharp motorcycle.
