Bouncy by Aurora today. Winds 280 at 15 gusting to 28. Partly sunny skies. How bad can it be? Halfway to Pontiac, I was still trying to tighten my seatbelt. It was that third head bounce on the roof that inspired that. While waiting for departure at Aurora (I was number four), a TBM on...

Good place to rent aircraft at Alliance Airport (AFW)?

Got a chance to try out the Stratux with my Ipad Mini, yesterday. Flew to C16, Frasca Field, near Champaign, IL, from KARR. Sooo good! Flew in the Warrior. Chicago Approach was too busy to talk, so I called Chicago Center when I was a little further south. They seemed pretty busy. Gave...

I know a guy who is looking for partners in a Skylane at KARR. Man, what is up with all the haters?

Does anyone know where a Runway 17 can be found in the Chicago area? The nearest one I found was Grand Rapids, MI. Yes, I am trying to land on every runway number...

I have no interest in this company, but I thought I would share this info. Lakeshore Helicopter is advertising R22 time during the month of January for $120 dry. That seems cheap to me. I don't have a rotorcraft rating. I wonder how much their instructors charge?

Trolls? Time for you to unplug!

Thanks for the write-up. Great photos!

I do need to get current. However, there was a Sigmet for icing.

We were on our way to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas from Chicago when the weather went downhill in Oklahoma. The mighty Archer was doing great, but the weather in Mc Alester was just too low. So we do a 180 and head back north. There, surrounded by a big lake (the fourth biggest in the US outside...
