    Experimental/Special Airworthiness Certificates - Flying to Mexico?

    Over the last two years I don’t know of anyone flying a experimental aircraft from the USA that’s been allowed to enter Mexico and be able to return to the USA with their aircraft.

    What is the best way to study for the Instrument Written Test?

    Thanks we love the job they did. I also flew it all the way from San Diego Ca and back to get it done because Roger was the only bid that actually gave me a written quote that considered what I was asking for.

    How did you find aviation?

    My great uncle was a bomber pilot in ww2 he was shot down 5 times over Europe and walked out under great duress each time. He never flew after he returned home but his stories were not something I could just set aside. And fortunately I’ve never had anyone want to shoot me out of the sky like he did.
