I'm 22 hours into my iR training and have been reading every post in this thread. I'm also a low time pilot with 225 hrs time. I think everyone who posted comments has valid points. The fact is, it depends on a pilot's personal needs and wants as what ratings they choose to earn. I didnt think I...

My old man (dad) is the crew chief on the B25 Maid in the Shade. He is there with the rest of the guys. He has a great time flying around all summer with the Mesa Wing CAF. He is the old red headed guy. If you see him say hello and tell him his oldest son wishes he was there with him. They are...

I took my IFR written today and scored a 92 percent! It feels good to have that part of it done. I saw a few questions that I had not seen before, one on dicing boots. Most of it was familiar and felt good. Thanks for the words of encouragement last week! Iz

Badger, I read the textbook in the IFR Jepp kit.

Hello all, I've read the text book cover to cover. I've gone through the test bank book until it has the feel of an old phone book and have taken a mind numbing number of practice tests on Sporty's Study Buddy. I'm scoring in the 90's on the practice tests. I've scheduled the written for the...

Oh, thats funny. I was punching it out on my ipad at work. Punching the letters with my index finger is not as user friendly as the key board. Go figure! Iz

Yea, that seemed to work. Greg, I have checked you guys out on line before. It looks like you have some sweet birds. I have a friend who just sold his 172 because his family has out grown the plane. I showed him your website this morning and he sounded interested. I wouldn't be surprised if he...

Our website appears to working this morning. Try this link. www.blueskyflyers.com

Yea our website is having some issue. Sorry for the confusion. I will repost when we get it fixed.

Yea, Mike's Meats in Sterling, CO is awesome! Plus the courtesey car is an old cop car, it's hilarious.

I think I got it!

Nope, hmmm.

Trying to change my avatar, will see if this works.

Ok, I took Ron's advise and exchanged my ipad for one with 3g. Thanks Ron! Dad and I are flying to Sterling to pick up some summer sausage on the 23rd, weather permitting, soo I'll let everyone know how it works after the flight. Thanks for all the comments! Iz

Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate the help! I have mobile hot spot on my cell phone and can get the wireless connection through the cell phone. I'm going for a ride in the car to see if this works. My only concern is how long my cell phone battery will last. I may have to plug it in...

Well, I went out and purchased an ipad2 this afternoon. I think mine is wifi only although I will be updating my Verizon account tomorrow to have 4G hot spot access on my cell phone. Looking at the FF website it states that you need 3G to access Geo-referencing. I also read that it can be...

I'm wondering who is using the ipad/foreflight for flight planning and situational awareness during VFR and IFR flights. I'm working on my instrument rating and it looks like a great tool. The Geo-reference application looks like it would be awesome as a "where the heck are we" tool. I hear the...

I like this one! http://www.amazon.com/Students-Pilots-Flight-Manual-Certificiate/dp/0813811538

I was trying to clear dirt from an under the wing fuel sump that was leaking on our archer by blowing compressed air into it, which caused fuel to bubble out the uncapped fuel tank. I was crouched down with my head parallel to the ground and fuel ran off the leading edge into my ear canal. I...
