The hangars at SAC are rented by people who have been there decades, and it is true, you see more RVs and boats parked in them than airplanes. Waiting list isn’t 6 years tho. I got on the list and got a call less than a year later but I had already found other accommodations by that time. The...

Blue sky? That’s all but vanished in Sacramento because of the smoke.

Cessna 400 driver here. These are awesome airplanes with huge capabilities. The parts support is as strong as any Cessna single and there are several shops who really know the airframes in and out (but bring your checkbook because they are not cheap to maintain). Van Bortel in Texas and Woodland...

I’ve started flying southbound over GMN at 9,500 which seems to mitigate most of the worst turbulence. It also sets me up for the Hollywood Park route through the Bravo to SNA. Hitting SBA first is an interesting idea. I might try that some time. Looks like about a 10 minute detour. I might...

I second Marana and the Ritz. Beautiful country out there. I’ve done Page and the Grand Canyon too.

Minimum landing fee at SFO is $232 last time I checked. That’s just the landing fee, Signature has their own fees on top of that.

Another vote for the 182. Definitely worth spending some time in one. It’s a huge upgrade over a 172.

Helicopter owners be laughing right now.

I’ll never forget when I saw my first Twin Bonanza on the ramp. It is absolutely massive. Such a good looking airplane too.

I’ve owned both now. I see advantages of both. I’m not willing to declare a winner.

I agree with all of the feedback above. I would not trade my A20s for anything. My only gripe is the location of the control box on the cord. I agree that it is not located in a very convenient place. I just realized that my new plane is provisioned with two panel-powered jacks, so I am going...

Coastal route and Hollywood park are what I ask for and I never get denied. I’m always going to SNA.

I was on downwind recently and the tower controller said “state your business visiting Xyz Airport.” I felt like saying none of your business!

I wish AOPA would do more of these videos. They are very well produced and hard-hitting reminders of what can go wrong up there.

Welcome!

Crossing over the Gorman VOR north into the Valley on a hazy day.

They make it so easy!

I traded in my Turbo 182 and bought this lovely 2008 CESSNA 400. Huge speed upgrade over my beloved 182 - but she will still be missed!

Agreed. I’ve not been able to figure out the value proposition(s) for a new Learjet these days.
