    Afterburners Restaurant at Sheboygan, WI, airport

    Flew up to Sheboygan on Thursday. Stopped in to the Afterburners Restaurant for a bite to eat. This is a pretty nice facility. It was only 4:00 pm, so I was the only customer. When I left at 5, there were a few more diners. I had the coconut encrusted haddock for $14. It was excellent...

    Cool, Greg! I will live vicariously through you. I wonder if you can fly to the Marshall Islands from there? I would like to see all of our protectorates someday!

    Long Cross Country....Check

    If you want to stay on course, just tell them that you would like to stay on the flight plan route, if possible. They gave you direct because they thought you would like it.

    Illinois to Pensacola, Florida

    Sounds like a great trip. My three sons and I flew a C172 to ISM from ARR in 2001. About halfway across Georgia, deviating for some weather build-ups took us close to a MOA. It took me a couple tries to get the right frequency for Jacksonville Center for info on the MOA. Fortunately, the...

    Solar powered plane making global trip

    I have been watching this. I am a little concerned that they will be crossing the US in thunderstorm season. It would be totally altruistic of a major airline to offer to house the Impulse in a hanger along the way. With the collusion between the major corporations, it is hard to imagine any...

    Feds: Cocaine a factor in Round Lake pilot's fatal 2014 crash

    Difficult to justify questionable behavior. Worse to be ones justifying questionable behavior with illegal conduct. Flying is the greatest expression of freedom.

    Solar Impulse's "Moment of Truth"

    I hope that the telemetry starts working. I tried FlightAware, but it did not have a display for HB SIA.

    Solar Impulse plane took off this morning 5/3

    I am not sure if they are lost or what. I wonder if they can land in Japan and fix their telemetry. I think this is a pretty cool idea. They are somewhere over the Sea of Japan. They said something about the 40th parellel. It looks like they have power, but it sounds like the pilot is...
