    Why land in the grass when paved is available?

    Saw this video going through the old posts in the Daily Pics thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuyCC9LvleM there are a few planes landing in the grass in the video.. I can't figure out (aside from practice) why would you elect to land in the grass (and where others are taxiing) when a...

    best headset for the money?

    About the Halo's, I mentioned them to my CFI and his response was don't do an in-ear headset. Pressure being the one thing I remember him citing.. is it an issue? are there other reasons to not go in-ear? I love my in-ear headphones.

    New to the Board and New to IFR

    That's what I'm thinking!! I wasn't thrilled with the one I saw today, but the guy let me know of a Bonanza (250 or 260hp range) that might be coming up for sale too. Also, where this guy has his hanger seems to be one of the best kept secrets in the SE Wisconsin area!! Regardless of buying...

    Got hit by a laser, last night. Central Oklahoma.

    My CFI saw one the other night during a night XC.. He told me about a time he reported one and saw law enforcement scramble on the ground and actually catch the guy doing it.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I did my written two weekends ago now, did my first solo two days before it. I've just finished up my solo XC requirements, need to get 6 more night landings then get to 40 hours while doing check ride prep with my CFI. I'm currently just under 30 hrs. My CFI is on vacation till 1/13/2014...

    First flight after getting your PPL...?

    There's two was to get fast. Get fast, quickly and fall in the process while you're waiting for your experience to catch up with talent, judgement and balls. Or, get fast, slowly and not fall but take many years to do it. I opted for #2. And I "love" seeing white plates on trackday...

    Wed 11/13/13 dinner at Pilot Pete's (06C)

    I was there a few weeks ago with a group from Spring City Aviation out of KUES. Fun time and neat intro to XC for me (not even 10 hrs in at that point) That burger was excellent but way too damn big!
