My brother and I drove down to Mexico from Phoenix on December 21, 2014. We stayed overnight in at the Laos Mar Hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean (at least the Sea of Cortez). The room was nice. Several of the TV stations were in English. It was $50 per night. It may have been the...

I will be flying up to Burlington, WI (BUU) next Monday to get some cheap AvGas. How can it be so cheap?

So did you sell it?

Yeah, it was pretty fake. But it does talk about flying small airplanes. We need more conversations like this before they ground us all!

Set of two Hooker harnesses. On a four seat aircraft (like my 1957 Piper Apache), they work like shoulder harnesses for the front seat passengers. I think I paid $120. I would like $50 for them. pm me.

Congratulations, Owad. I knew you could do it!

The correct name is "TRAUMA-ROCK." Kidding. I flew one and it was okay. Not as stable as the Cessna 150.

Hey Terps! I landed at Dulles today and checked out the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Super COOOL! My friend's wedding isn't until Saturday and I left Chicago today to avoid tomorrow's thunderstorms. So I had an extra day to hang out in MD. If I recall correctly, there are many...

We actually like the Field Museum. You can see the Hope Diamond. That being said, the Museum of Science and Industry is a must with the U-505. If you are looking for a GA chow place, Pilot Pete's is great. If you head out that way and want conspirators, mention it here.

You could go to Chanute Air Museum near Rantoul, Illinois. It is 784 nautical miles away and in Illinois which is not on your map. Here is a link to the museum. http://www.aeromuseum.org/ I hope the weather is good for you on Thursday. :blueplane: ApacheBob

I went today, which was a pretty good day to be there. I took my neighbor, Bill, who had never flown in a small plane. Our trusty steed was a 1974 Cessna Skyhawk. We stayed at 3,000 msl on the way up north due to a broken deck just above there. There were a few burbles due to the clouds, but...

Alan B. (who was there briefly last year), Dale P. and Ron D. will probably stop by, if they can find the dinner.

Where are all the people?

I was closer to 14 gph and I flew 21 squared. Still pretty good.

Loved the Apache. Loved it. Bought it on E-bay for $32,000. Probably spent $36,000 (not including gas) to keep it flying for three years. I envy A&Ps who fix their own planes. Put 300 hours on it. It was a flying sweet potato. Do yourself a favor. Get checked out in a Pilatus and rent...

Thanks, POA! We will be in Eastham playing tennis and painting pictures. We will try BarbyAnns for dinner on June 17. TTFN!

Did I tell you about the time I reserved a room at Gaston's for the fly-in? I was weathered out, so I called to try and cancel. They said that they would rent it out to someone else, if they could. On the Gaston's thread here, posters complained that there were no rooms available that night...

Ahoy there, folks near Cape Cod! We will be on the cape next week (June 17) and we wonder where to look for good chow

Going flying somewhere today. Maybe Grand Rapids, Michigan? Haven't decided. Any suggestions? Using a mighty Cessna 172 from West Chicago, Dupage.

Even though it is cool in Ohio, remember that you will have lots of sun going southwestward. Sunscreen and appropriate clothing are a good idea. I hope you make the trip. It sounds like an adventure. When I bought the mighty Apache, I had to fly it back from Dallas. That was pretty...
