That is nice! I am still looking. If you had to guess the appreciation value of that plane from when you purchased it to what it would sell for today, what do think it would be?

Earl Scheib, AI. Whoda thunkit?

This fits my demographic. I soloed the day before my 60th birthday in late November. I finally have the time and means to pursue my lifelong dream of flying my own plane, but I don't see any good deals out there for a capable time-builder training plane. Even the clapped out 150s/152s rejected...

Apparently there has been a miscommunication. I never presented them as anything other than "an acquaintance". From my post about their accident "Last Sunday a couple I am an acquaintance of, ". All of my dealings with them were strictly business - as a customer of their flight school. I have...

Yes, I am aware of that. Thank you.

If you are an Android user, Avare allows you to create checklists and even build custom W&B sheets. Oh, and it's free. I have a Samsung tablet dedicated to just aviation use. I have PDF copies of all of my references (i.e. PHAK, AFH, FAR/AIM) as well as the sectionals for my region, and the...

Would it be better to let it sit there in the open shade hangar and become a fixture like I see at other sites? When I die I fully expect my heirs to sell some of my stuff that would be of no use to them. It's a nice plane that just needs some attention. Unfortunately it is so dirty right now...

Even better, the High School is within walking distance to the FBO where it currently exists. even when they open the new terminal, the flight school will probably stay in the old building as it is so near the hangars.

It is my understanding that the plane was grounded by the school administration - while they conduct a program review. One of my coworkers has a child in the program, and the word is that they may just shut the program down and sell the plane. I hear that more "deserving" departments are...

In this case, the Luscombe was always referred to as "Jeanettes Plane" around the FBO. Her Husband, Wil Lyons IV had a Grumman Cheetah. The plane I am inquiring about was owned by the young coupe (35 & 30) that died in the crash outside of KCPT earlier this month. They had sold/shut down their...

Thanks. I'm sure that Sherman, his brother, and Langdon are doing their level best to make this work for everyone involved. It's just so unfortunate that the students ended up getting the short end of the stick.

You are correct. His improper actions were ignored, and instead the students he represents are affected. As for my inconvenience, I'm just whining.

Oops, sorry that I missed that. I did not mean to clutter up the board with a duplicate thread. Should I have this one deleted?

DG retracted his previous statement and apologized about his hasty guess as to the cause: (1) Fatal GA Plane Crash. Your Stairway To Heaven. - YouTube Scroll to 31.02 for retraction.

Here is a classic example of how bureaucracy works its magic at the school board level. Granbury Independent School District (Granbury TX) has two outstanding aviation centered programs - Skyward. In the aviation engineering program, students assemble an RV kit and sell it at a profit, purchase...

Well, I just wonder how messy it is going to get. I surmise that they were in the process of changing the registration from their flight school that was closed down (Aviate at the Lake) and into one or both of their names. I'm not even sure how their planes will be handled through the estate -...

Out of (morbid) curiosity, I decided to see what information I could find about a newly orphaned Luscombe at the airfield where I train. When I query the FAA site for N224Z, I get this message: "ATTENTION! This aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation. Please contact...

Where exactly in the DFW area? Dr. Paul Schmidt (Lakeside Physicians) in Glen Rose did mine. He had also performed my Industrial Fire Brigade physicals for over 20 years before I moved to a more sedentary position at the power plant. Since I had also just finished my initial 3rd class less...

Scott Purdue of FlyWire says there is a preliminary report out now. I am trying to find it to peruse it myself. FlyWire says that they had actually filed an IFR plan (KCPT-KGDJ) and were instructed to make a left turn to 090 after departure. Once given clearance they departed and made a right...

Scott Purdue with special guest star Dan Gryder shared some information: C205 Crash on Takeoff- Night into the Clouds - YouTube So, with video showing that they most likely did refuel I guess that the ADSB track turned out to be a distraction. But still to take off with 1/4 mile visibility and...
