    Thinking about a Ford Ranger

    LOL, you did't see my folding eBike in the corner of the photo, or the Jupiter Bike (other folding eBike) at the hangar. As for motorcycles/scooters... I've had those too. Just gave up riding a motorcycle in Southern California as "cagers" really seem like they're out to kill you! So I got...

    Thinking about a Ford Ranger

    Love your Ranger! Love the color and the mods! I really like what was done with the Ranger and considered one, but my Dora (the Explorer) keeps on running beautifully with 282,000 miles thus far. I have a 2019 Genesis G70 (beautiful car, pretty darned fast) but I find that I drive Dora about...

    Fast Eddie & Kool Karen's (excellent?) Pole Barn Adventure

    Soooo envious! Would love to have a Pole Barn on an airstrip. Looking awesome @FastEddieB! I can't wait to see what the drive looks like. Will you be also laying down a concrete pad in front of the hangar and garage?

    Today's flight

    I'll see if I can't bring a scale and weigh mine. I keep it at the hangar for loading into the plane (low wing) and for making the oh-so-important run (ride) to the bathroom down the way from the hangar. Believe you me, it is much nicer to ride to the bathroom than make the cross-legged run to...

    So-Cal Complex/ATC Airspace Training Plan

    Hi Brian, Victorville/Apple Valley are good, but subject to winds, turbulence, and weather. This coming weekend, we may see rain which will result in some winds, low clouds climbing over the mountains to get to the high desert area. Just something to keep in mind, otherwise it’s pretty open up...

    So-Cal Complex/ATC Airspace Training Plan

    Ditto what @schmookeeg stated. Some others to consider: KHMT is untowered, but Hangar 1 Cafe is there, and there are some neat older warbirds tied down. KFUL if you want to practice some landings at a towered field and Wings cafe is quite tasty KOKB (another untowered field) if you want to...

    Looking for a shop to work on my RV in SoCal

    Let me know if either of those leads work out. If not, I know a guy at at Compton Woodley who has an RV8 and I'm sure he can recommend a guy. I think I'm the only Sportcruiser on the field, but come by the last row of hangars (east side) and I'm toward the end of the row.

    As if 2020 weren't bad enough already....

    That just sucks. Eff cancer. I was in high school and blasted Panama and Jump out of my car's tape deck. Had the 1984 album on tape, and listened to Van Halen, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon... but definitely a lot of Van Halen. RIP Eddie.

    Looking for a shop to work on my RV in SoCal

    Welcome to Fullerton! North side hangars or south side? I'm in the SouthEast hangars. I looked at the VANS forum and it appears someone named Rick Aldrich ((661) 733-6649) posted that he's an A&P and DAR with 40 years of experience that can do condition inspections. I think he mentioned that...

    BMW Z3 Roadster

    I bought my nephew a BMW 318ti many years ago and I spent a fortune even doing most of the wrenching myself. A BMW is not cheap to own, even older ones. Parts are still expensive. If he's OK with that, and can put away money for any repairs, the BMW Z3 can be a fun vehicle. A more modern...

    Sport Pilot into canadian airspace?

    As Capt Geoffrey Thorpe said - Sport Pilots are US bound for the most part, except for Bahamas which recognizes the Sport Pilot certificate. Flying into Canada is a no-go for us Sport Pilots.
