    NOAA Hurricane Hunters fly into the eye of Matthew

    I'm not sure where it headed off to. I'm fairly certain all mods haven't been completed, though.

    NOAA Hurricane Hunters fly into the eye of Matthew

    That 'Hog's renovations by Zivko were completed just a couple of weeks ago and they flew it out of GOK to its new location. That was a damn cool plane to see.

    Hearing Aids

    I have some Resound hearing aids that are fully in-the-ear. The mic is "external," from the receiver, but is still contained within the ear itself. I love them. There is no interference or feedback, etc. when I fly or use any headphones, for that matter. They have a new model out that is similar...

    John Glenn Airport Signs Could Total $775,000

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I wondered this out loud to my girlfriend in the car a few days ago. I got the "You sure wonder about some off-the-wall things" reply. But, seriously - what are we supposed to do with that info?!

    Request flight following or no?

    Thanks, @SixPapaCharlie for re-posting this. I vaguely recall reading it shortly after joining POA. I took a recent flight with an instructor for some practice. After leaving the home Class D, we're in KC ARTCC's airspace and several smaller airports are around the area. Knowing there were a...

    Picking up radio static all of a sudden....

    I got a horrible static sound every once in a while during my training and we couldn't figure it out as we messed with the radios and audio panel. Turns out the issue was a small switch on the instrument panel for receiving marker beacon signals (circled in pic below) that was left on...and we...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    I have a Bad Elf, as well. My iPad mini that doesn't have built-in GPS or cellular. I had been using an old Stratus 1, but it's been VERY hit-and-miss in terms of connection...even without overheating. By "remote mounted" I meant a separate GPS connected to the Stratux via a cord. If you've seen...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    I'm toying around with the idea of building a Stratux unit myself or buying a pre-built one, like @Archammer has available. My issue is whether or not I want an onboard GPS or remote-mounted. There seems to have been issues with the onboard types, according to my browsing of Reddit threads, but...

    Potty option for longer flights?

    I chose to buy a pack of Option #2. I had to use it on my last XC and it worked like a charm. Considering I had my girlfriend on her first XC flight with me in the right seat, it was much more preferable than a Gatorade bottle.

    Crash in Carrollton GA 2 airplanes down, 3 dead.

    Ah, but how many times has he been around the block, hmm?

    Crash in Carrollton GA 2 airplanes down, 3 dead.

    Slight hijack: Some of my most nervous flying was with a NORDO taking off in the wrong direction as I (and two other planes) entered the pattern. Having to guess which direction he was going to turn after not heeding the ASOS (or more likely, the windsock) along with having to completely amend...

    Instructor/Rental Dilemma

    Wouldn't be a bad option, assuming that was an available at the locales in question!

    Instructor/Rental Dilemma

    Damn, I was going with mint chocolate chip. But chocolate works. :biggrin:

    Instructor/Rental Dilemma

    I think this is a little bit harsh. This came from a simple conversation. The choice is obviously his and I posted here for simple discussion purposes and opinions. It's no different than a "what plane should I buy" thread - the choice is always ultimately one person's. That being said...
