    Should I purchase A Mooney M20A w/ Wood Wings??

    If the tail is wood I would not buy it. Wood wings are faster than metal wings but finding AP who can properly maintain it will be difficult. I looked at one many years ago that I knew had had the wing properly rebuilt. The current owner an Air Force instructor at the Academy took it to...

    CUBA

    I was there in 2016. At that time lots of people were traveling without approved itineraries. Trump said no more of that so if you want to go yourself you have to do an itinerary and get it approved by US Treasury. You can do a group travel with any organization that has an approved...

    <na> Philmont evacuation <na>

    I have some recollections of Philmont. I made the trip back in the late 50's. Boy Scouts in Pittsburgh chartered a bus for a group of about 40. Long drive since no interstates had been completed.

    SR22 Down in Parker, CO

    Strange accident. I am left to wonder where was he going and why. I came in from Minneapolis to FTG about 5PM. The weather was vfr but certainly not good enough to plan a trip over the Rocks without and IFR clearance and TKS. I live near APA and was watching the clouds from the house during...

    KAGC ILS 28 - anyone else have trouble with signal quality?

    Something you might consider is to find another ILS on the same freq. and try flying it. You may have an onboard equipment problem on that freq.

    Central America

    I have been to Panama several times as well as all of the other Latin Countries. I think the best information you can get comes from Baja Pilots. It does take a lot of research to be able to do the trip without difficulty. I always get a trip kit from Jepp as they have the most reliable entry...

    Another headset thread - Santa needs advice

    I tried the Tango because wireless seemed like such a good idea. The weight of the battery made them really uncomfortable.

    Ken Burns "Vietnam" Documentary Series Begins Tonight

    Clark, For some references try Newworldencyclopedia.org and search for Royal Dutch Shell. About halfway down the page is a paragraph titled Vietnam War. It cites a book which is available on Amazon. A second cite would be a document called The Secret History how the Rockefellers found oil in...

    Ken Burns "Vietnam" Documentary Series Begins Tonight

    Clark, You might want to google "Oil Production Vietnam" and spend some time researching. A lot has been added to many of the sites in the past 5 years but you should be able to find where the folks in Hanoi setup a national oil company in 1975. I found a site that said Royal Dutch Shell...

    Ken Burns "Vietnam" Documentary Series Begins Tonight

    The series brought back many memories for me. A very few good most not good. I was disappointed that the real cause of the war was never discussed. Few people know that the South China Sea overlays a huge puddle of oil. The Japanese invaded Vietnam in WarII hoping to take the oil for Japan...

    Ken Burns "Vietnam" Documentary Series Begins Tonight

    I saw the first installment and was somewhat impressed. I hope Burns spends some time showing the substantial oil fields that were developed in the South China Sea during the 50's. Not many who served in Vietnam got to see the drilling operation but I did. No doubt the substantial reserves...

    CUBA!! any one been there yet?

    I flew to Cuba with the Baja Pilots in 2016. Had a good time but landing fees were substantially higher than a stop at Signature. Lots of tourists during the winter need to get reservations early. Need to be current IFR and have approach plates with you.
