beautiful looking airplane! hope you have many safe and fun adventures in it!

This was my very best friend for the past 11 years. He lived 5 miles down the road from me that whole time. We used to get together several times per week when we were both off, vacationed together and every thing. Just last week before he left for Colorado we went up and did some formation...

I wouldn't say it's trouble at all. I have my ASES, and no I've never flown a seaplane outside of the training and the checkride. I look forward to doing it again one day and have thought many times about going back and doing a refresher in it. I have a lot of friends and co-workers who are in...

Renewed my policy in march and it went up almost $500.....Originally I was quoted almost 700 higher but I pushed back a bit and got it to get re-shopped and lowered. As someone mentioned apparently it had to do with a lot of the "losses" from groundings etc and other things this year that...

We better see some pictures of yours when it shows up!!!

Just got my bird back from annual, nothing unexpected got away fairly easy this time! I did have some prop paint flaking so I had them work their magic and my prop looks almost new!

first officer qualifications. Most will know it as the ATP rule, from back in 2013 when the law changed the requirements to fly for an airline.

Another restriction that isn’t too common is the centerline thrust multi engine certificate. It’s possible to get hour multi in something like a 337 which would get you a centerline thrust restriction on the certificate as for the types at airlines, per the FOQ laws that came out several years...

The whole 6 seat to carry 4 is just a rule of thumb and a myth I think that got lost with time. The useful loads on the cirrus especially the newer ones, including the turbos are so high that you should have no problem carrying 4 average people and bags. I have a 182 and often carry myself, and...

How do you draw something like that? I’ve been wanting to do that. And by how I mean like how do you get it so symmetrical? Just plug coordinates into a GPS and fly it? Preflight it on like ForeFlight and import the fixes or is there some tool for this I don’t know??

Some private strips may be communities even. Usually in this instance all you’ll need is a residents to put you on their guest list or invite you in. Some are more strict than others with pre-notice or not. There’s even a local private strip in a community near me with a restaurant on the field...

Since I mostly fly my plane for pleasure I hardly fly anywhere I don’t know someone who can pick me up. For the once in a blue moon I’m not I’ll either rent a car, Uber/lyft, or hotel shuttle, just depends what I’m planning on doing when there

thats annoying! never saw that thread! ....new planes from Cessna, at least in the piston line come with vinyl N numbers! They were vinyl when i picked it up from the factory new in 2012!

vinyl n numbers, makes it easy! I’m glad mine aren’t painted on

I've oftened wondered about this. Whenever i sell my plane im keeping the N number so I didnt know how that would work with selling it to someone/getting a new N number for the purchaser since I want to keep mine

I’ve done it like 2 or 3 times total. Work is over 550nm straight line distance from home which is a hike in my 182. It’s faster to get on an airliner, not by much, about 4.5 flight time nonstop in my plane which is too long for me so I break it in two so it’s about 5.5 total door to door, on an...

Due to popular demand I have added mid wing and biplane to the poll options!!!

Washed and wax’d my 182 and my friends Bonanza the other day, so naturally we had to take them up for an air to air photo session! Weather has been great for flying in Florida this month

guess I should have included a biplane and a midwing! Whoops!

Not your typical "what's better" but thought it would be interesting to see the split amongst the plane owners in here. So which do you own or primarily rent? For me its a high wing.
