Flyers, (two questions) Question one: As the Tempationis would ask, "Is it just my imagination..." or have we on the East coast been experiencing higher wind speeds or at least, a higher frequency of "windier" days? Let's define "windier". How about "windier" means days with winds that would...

Flyers, For those interested, the folks at ForeFlight are FINALLY putting together an iPad version of their Checklist app. They have not given a release date, but I hope it will be soon. I hope it will be incorporated into ForeFlight as a tab at the bottom of the screen. If not, I...

No one's charging more! We've just been paying less for more in that last few years. When, in 2013 dollars, did you spend 150 dollars per year for EVERY sectional, every terminal area chart, every approach plate, every low altitude chart, every A/FD, and every high altitude chart FOR THE...

Flyers, My wife bought me, not one, but TWO new Bose A20 headsets. :D In 2010 she got me the Garmin 696. :yikes: Yep! She’s a keeper. This was a great Christmas! I hope you all were as lucky as me. I posted an ad on this Website’s Classified Section. Please, I hope someone here can give my...
