STP has Signature and St Paul Flight Center on the field. I don't know the price difference between them but you should get good service at each, and I believe there's self service near Signatures ramp. I don't get over to MIC so I can't say anything about them. STP is easy to get in and out...

Hawkers have a 10 kt tailwind limitation for TO and Landings.

It must be that section of the Wisconsin River running NW-SE that's 8,000' long. Since they're so close both share a beacon and services, although I don't see any dock. Yes, it doesn't have the seaplane base symbol either, I can't explain that part. The water runway is listed under Airnav as...

The Grand Central Air Terminal building still exists today, although the airport is long gone. Lots of history, some with movie stars and movie making associated with that airport, it was even used in part of the War effort during the 40's. Today it's filled with offices by Disney employees.

"line up and wait", tower wants you on the runway and ready for TO but for some reason there's a slight delay. The other info is the "traffic on base for 23", they are letting you know there's traffic that may be a concern to you in time since your back is to the traffic. Look up the accident at...

Try something different for a change, 'Sigh for a Merlin' and 'Flight of the Mew Gull' both by Alex Henshaw. Alex was a British race pilot in the 1930's and a company test pilot for Supermarine during WWII. The second story is about his racing and a record setting flight from London to Cape...

Mine cost me $5 just a few years ago, how about yours?

Breaking out at MDA and not DH puts you more like a 45-30 degree right turn heading change and then a 90 degree left to final, and the airport environment is always off to your left. Not as severe as the red line is depicted.

A transponder is NOT required under the Class B but inside the Mode C veil, If, you are exempt because of the kind of plane you are flying. " An aircraft that was not originally certificated with engine driven electrical system or which has not subsequently been certified with a system...

The only thing I saw last month was the Lane Motor Museum, about 5 miles NW of the airport. Lots of interesting micro cars, scooters and other vehicles.

Whichever way works for you is the correct answer.

A Champ is a jeep, wow, that's news to me. "Champs" come in so many flavors, from the simple and light 65 hp ones to 85-90 hp with electric or maybe even up to a 115 hp. You won't be doing any real high density work in the low hp ones, and especially with any load like a pax and gear.

Two things, if you bring the tail up slightly on takeoffs to the right attitude, there's no need to "rotate", the plane will fly of when it's ready. Your plane has flaps, yes they're not as effective as a C-150 with 40 degrees, but learn to use them. Practice landings with and without, learn...

"Single pilot Lear", no such thing.

My first time in an airplane was in a green Cardinal on a I believe a 2 cents a pound ride. I think my Mom spent 2 bucks on me for once around the patch. Yeah, I was young and only 16.

Just about anywhere along Lake Superior is a great place to be.

Congratulations, it was a journey wasn't it though?

Right into the flair, much less than 10'.

Some years ago I went up with an experienced Champ pilot, (not even a CFI) and after a few hours doing all sorts of TO and landings I soloed myself. What's an endorsement?
