Congratulations....what a great car for any of us that went to high school and college in the 1980s. Timeless design. I think John got it right

As I have gotten older (58) I have to admit that I don't see as well at night - driving or flying. I just passed my 2nd class medical - barely. My left eye gave me fits on the eye exam. No problem seeing 20/20 with both eyes, but definitely an issue with the one eye. I made the decision a...

Jon - keep posting your videos here. I enjoy the others that do the same. It alerts me to some interesting topics and content that I would otherwise miss. I have very little trouble scanning the titles in the posts to find ones I am interested in. If some readers don't want to watch a video...

One on the field where I am at. I have never flown in one, but what I hear is that it is way underpowered for the airframe. No one likes it

I grew up in Los Alamitos CA and now live in NE Texas married to an Arkansan. The poster's stereotype of Arkansas (and the "south") is as ridiculous and moronic as those who hold the stereotype of Californians as all liberal, communist, and drug lovers. Seems like everyone likes to feel...

I have never owned an Apple product. Android tablet running GP. You can get an Android tablet with GPS and it does not require a cell phone number assigned. In other words - no monthly cell phone charge. Android tablets don't overheat as easily as iPads either. Kind of important if you...

Got my PPL back in 1981. 58 years old now. Back in 1981 I trained at a controlled airport (Class D now) and I had several close calls at non-towered airports (and VORs too for that matter). I for one don't miss the days when alot more aircraft were flying without radios. To be honest, it...

I've never owned an Apple product in my life. GP has worked fine on my Motorola Razr Android phone and Samsung tablet. I've had a few issues after various updates, but Garmin seems to get the bugs fixed quickly in my opinion. And I love how my Samsung Android tablet never overheats and shut...

I got my PPL back in 1982 at 18 yrs of age. I got pretty good pretty quickly with just using VORs and ADFs to just fly to the needle. Very close technique in my opinion to flying to the magenta line like in today's GPS units. Yes, I did get lost a time or two but I could always find an ADF...

Parachute activity is pretty common at my home base airport on any given weekend. The jump plane pilots always do a good job of announcing activity on the local CTAF and even go back and forth with Approach ATC since a Class D is also nearby. TO and landing and even pattern work is rarely a...

Great video as usual. I will try this this week while over the airport at altitude. I need to practice steep spirals anyway - been awhile. Keep up the good videos Martin!

For any given "cross country", I will either file IFR (depending on weather or airspace that I need to pass through) or VFR flight following (without filing a flight plan). Also, if you are using VFR Flight Following and the cloud deck forms below you, it is easy to get a local IFR "pop up"...

My 1995 Commander 114B. Have owned her about three years. Factory overhauled Lycoming IO-540 (80 hours so far) and upgraded Garmin panel. 2075 TTSN and the paint and interior are original from the factory.

I think it would be great to have a hanger like that (bathroom) at a class D. I miss having services, a tower, and the security that comes with a D airport. I fly mostly into controlled airfields and Class B airspace (Dallas and Houston) but keep my airplane at a small Class G with no security...

At 58 years old, I am a student pilot again. My 22 year old son decided to add a Commercial Rating to his SEL / IR and I thought "why not" and I decided to do it too. I passed the written exam last month, got my logged cross countries / night landings out of the way, and now have started...

I have not seen a video lately, but the positive I have is that I absolutely would positively love to have his airplane. Someone earlier mentioned a "carbon footprint". I would love to leave a carbon footprint with an airplane like that. Not only is it a nice airplane, but if I had one then...

Great video as usual. No matter what your subject is, the professionalism of your production makes every video a cut above anything else out there. They are all interesting. Sometimes it is good to just be entertained within a flying topic instead of a ground school type of video. Your...

Definitely get down to Jefferson TX. Hot Springs AR and Lake Degray are close. You can rent a very nice cabin at Broken Bow for a very reasonable cost. In other words, there may not be alot to do IN Texarkana, but it is not a bad hub to get to some very interesting and beautiful places close...

It happens to everyone at some point. I have always thought that the most challenging part of IMC flying was taking off with a low ceiling where you enter IMC very soon after takeoff. One thing you mentioned that is very important and something that I always try to do - make SURE your...

I have been a pilot since I was 18 years old and married since I was 24. It really helped that I was flying before I was married. We never had to have one of those "discussions". At least in regard to flying. I think something to consider is what would you say if your wife came in and...
