    My family 'needs' a 310. Just not right now. Good luck to seller and eventual buyer.

    Does a Diamond's flaps leave Cessna-shaped imprints?

    What it's really like to fly the Chicago lakeshore at sunrise

    My friends tell me I have an annoying habit of noticing such things. ;) I haven't done that skyline trip myself yet, but now that I'm current again, it's in the cards.

    Today’s Flight Started Off With A Bang

    At least the high wings make decent sun shades sometimes. I banged my head getting my kids car seat in on my last flight. Baseball cap saved me a cut, but maybe also blocked out the danger.

    Anxiety On Cross Country Stops

    Depends on the weather, but generally, no, no anxiety like that. I sometimes get anxious parking my car/truck/motorcycle somewhere I'm not sure about, though. My most anxious was a motorcycle camping trip to Rock Island off the tip of WI's Door County. On the ferry ride to Washington Island, I...

    Non pilot friends and crash articles.

    I have no idea on the motivation, but at least in my life, they tired of it eventually. That, or they just stopped caring about me (motorcyclist for 23 years, pilot for 15). I remember it being a mix of 'Look how dangerous!' paranoia/'protection,' and some genuine curiosity/interest in what I...

    4.5. Funny, her long-time nickname has been 'Bug,' so having the bug is fitting. Also, her bugging me every time she saw an airplane is one of the reasons I got current again. Made sense she was my first passenger back. I took my 12 year old up with a CFI (I wasn't current, my first/only time...

    I had a couple beers this afternoon...

    If you leave, be sure to enter off the 45 with a 315 deg. turn to the left.

    Light Sport Speed Limits

    I'd love to be issued a Citation, but I'm sure I couldn't afford to park it, let alone operate it.

    Daily Pic

    2 weeks ago, but still pretty awesome. Daughter's first GA flight. Her smile after asking her, "Is this fun?" after the first turn. I planned to land back right away if she didn't like it, but we ended up picking up a friend and putting in 2.0 hours - although she had a good nap about 15...

    Unique Waypoint Names

    They exist: http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/PUUKE "Special IAP"??? The AirNav entry for Kodiak shows the procedure has changed, so maybe this is the old? (Too slow - thanks AK737pilot )

    Unique Waypoint Names

    Just recently ran across DONGS while searching for something else. My inner 12 year old giggled (and shared on chat).
