    Your observations about KISM surprise me, I fly in quite often and have never had a bad experience from ATC, Although I have to admit I don't go over to the terminal my visits are to other places on the field. As for KGIF I couldn't agree more it's a very friendly and accommodating place...

    The P51 ride is expensive, $3k plus ... But even if you don't take the ride, while you are in town call by Stallion 51, based at KISM, they are real nice folk and will welcome you to take a walk around the hanger to see their P51's and L39 jet. You can also rent from Sunstate Aviation on...

    Ipad Mini 4 for Flying

    I used to have the regular size iPad in the cockpit until I received a Christmas present of a iPad Mini 2 off my wife, I never realised until I got the mini just how cumbersome the big iPad was in the cockpit ! Anyway to the OP's question... My iPad Mini 2 is 16gb wifi only, so I've invested in...

    Handheld Transceiver

    I bought the Yaesu 550 as a back up and to listen into comms at my local field while sat on my porch a couple of miles away from the field. The product gets 10/10 for what I was looking for, the sales team get 0/10 .....I bought it via a distributor at The Sport expo at Sebring last year, the...

    CFI Training and jobs in South Florida

    Okay Francis this may change things a little, although not with getting the elusive Green Card or whatever they call it these days. Maybe Tailwheels can help you, but it won't be on a work in exchange for CFI training deal, you will need your own funding to get your CFI ticket. I did all...

    Need v. want a Stratus 2S

    Yes Brad I'm aware of the ADSB-out requirement to make it anywhere near viable for traffic, having researched it before buying I knew I wasn't buying accurate traffic warning , for me it's about seeing the weather and the other features to make a trip a little easier But you are right to...

    Need v. want a Stratus 2S

    Having bought a Stratus 2S this week today was my first chance to fly with it. First impressions.... Weather was great to have in front of me to see on FF Pretty cool how FF automatically opens the airport diagram plate on landing, I can see this as a handy feature when going to an...

    CFI Training and jobs in South Florida

    Do you happen to be a U.S. citizen if so then maybe that went some way to fast tracking your wife getting a green card ? I only know from personal experiences even though I'm paying my taxes to the IRS on the profits from my property portfolio I have to operate under strict visa rules, And...

    CFI Training and jobs in South Florida

    Hello Francis, the very mention of needing a green card will have any potential employer running for cover....I'm sorry but unless you can offer a service that is unique that can't easily be carried out by a U.S. citizen you are going to hit many obstacles in order to get the elusive "green...

    Need v. want a Stratus 2S

    I've pondered for quite a while on a Stratus purchase, anyway I took the plunge and my shiny new 2S arrived today, impressed with the carry case but we'll see how the actual box of tricks works and integrates with my foreflight when I go fly on Saturday, Any tips from users would be appreciated

    Only 2 hours this week due to the crazy Florida storms popping up at any time of the day instead of just the usual late afternoon

    Airplane Repo The TV Series

    I've met Danny Thompson and his "boss" Ken Cage, a couple of nice enough guys who describe themselves as "actors" and no doubt making a few dollars out of the show while able. You really need to follow their Facebook page to see how the "non aviation" public believes everything they see in...
