Way to go, Mike! Congrats!

What kind of speeds do you get for that 28gph?

Thanks! Doing Disney out of Vancouver, so we'll be north of Victoria the whole time.

I got nothing on which airport, (though I've chair flown the trip to and from KISM many times), but my wife is a travel agent at an agency that focuses almost exclusively on Disney trips. It has come up many times, and no matter how you slice it, if you're staying on property, you always come...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

When we traveled to Hawaii last year, I found a flight school that was willing to give me an hour of instruction to basically fly around the island and have my family come along. This summer we are going to take an Alaskan cruise with stops in Skagway, Ketchikan, and Juneau. Does anyone know a...

I'm the Director at the other end of the room doing the double-facepalm at this, because I now know the next 2 mos of my life will be spent with that guy trying to explain that my technology solution doesn't alleviate his need to fix his group's broken business process. And that ultimately, we...

Oops ... sorry about that. I was playing catch-up, and must have skimmed over that one. I usually try to not be that guy that makes a "new" suggestion in a thread for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Wow, really? Where are you seeing those? All I have seen are decent to ragged out basic trainers ... that are priced prohibitively high. I hadn't seen anything out there terribly interesting.

Bryan, SlipstreAm Aviation at Dallas Exec has Cheetahs. I had actually considered taking a flight out there sometime, too. Problem is, it's east of 360, and there are so few reasons worth driving to that part of the world.

Only AggieMike for me on a PnP trip. Did briefly meet Throttle, too. Hoping to expand greatly on that this year.

But not a real one. They eat your face and throw poop at you.

The hangars have been the biggest frustration. There are a ton of T-hangars at the airport where I learned, with two different leasing companies putting up signs. No call backs, and no address. Called another airport, the very nice lady has a waiting list, but gave me the name of a woman in...

Thanks, all, for the responses. Walking in the door isn't really an option in most of these cases. They are either in another state, or far off ... or have only a sign that says "Hangar space" and a number. I may have more time than I thought, anyways, because the pre-buy showed low...

I'm getting closer to having my first airplane and I'm hoping to have everything wrapped up and here by mid-Jan. I've been calling around to mechanics, avionics shops, and hangar leasing places trying to get ready to get the plane and I'm having a helluva time trying to get anyone to call me...

Mike, this is an excerpt from the book I mentioned today. According to this, on the 182, partial heat is acceptable. http://www.cessna.org/buyers-guide-182-excerpts

I imagine he's more likely to Discover something new about himself.

So now you have coffee spilling out of the holes in your coffee cups and nose?

Nope, I totally get it.

This isn't another "Hey, you don't want a crappy 172, you want THIS!" thing, because I actually like Cessnas. Maybe I'm too new, maybe it's because I prefer driving a truck ... I don't know, I just like Cessnas. Normally, though, one locks in on a 172 vs. a Cherokee because they are a dyed...
