    Another "I'm Rich" Topic--Used Turboprops

    I like the MU. Neat airplane with some great performance numbers and a ramp presence I can appreciate. Keep 'em maintained and stay up with them and you're okay and probably just lovin' your airplane. Fall behind and you're adding to a less than good accident rate. Kinda sad when you blame...

    Another "I'm Rich" Topic--Used Turboprops

    I've never been in a Piaggio either. I think they look great and sound kinda funky but I just have a hard time viewing them in the same light as the King Air, especially the 300/350 series. Not really sure if that's even what the airplane was designed to compete against was. Given the...

    Another "I'm Rich" Topic--Used Turboprops

    You'd better be really rich for either but why would you EVER want to trade out of one the finest, easiest to fly, well mannered aircraft ever to come out of Wichita for some piece of Euro-trash? Not that I'm partial.

    What happens if you don't get a pilot slot?

    I fly a government owned aircraft on government business and frequently stop at military airfields and joint use fields as well. Regardless of the service and that includes the Coast Guard, if you use the Base Operations facility, you aren't leaving without a flight plan being filed. Just the...

    POA Roll-Call, Airventure 2011

    I'll be there. Warbird Flightline 2.0. Easy to recognize in jeans, boots, orange boonie hat, orange t shirt, sunburn, limping from sore feet and this year....smelling like sunblock. What a great time!

    This day in history

    The only real significance to me about today is 28 years ago I was commissioned as an Army Second Lieutenant. Really feels like a million years ago.

    More "Darker Shades of Blue"

    You want to see Tony Kern or at least give his books a read. You don't however want to be a subject of either as that probably means you're dead.

    69 years later...

    There will always be people of spirit and charachter in this country who recognize that the price of freedom is not free and a huge debt is owed to those who walked that line before they did. Hopefully those who lead this great nation can exhibit the same perspective and will be worthy of those...

    G1000 data logging

    What you're seeing with the G1000 logging function is essentially General Aviation FOQA. Do a Google search if you're interested but the basics of the program is to identify to people who need to know how the airplanes are being operated. That's a real simplification but it's in the ballpark...

    The Worst Airplane You've Ever Flown

    This thread got me to do a little thinking and logbook checking. To date I've flown 40 distinctly different types and a bunch more if you count variations on a theme like the Beech Aero Club family (Sport, Sundowner, Sierra). I don't think I've flown anything absolutely henious although I've...

    See What I Mean?

    I've seen Rush a bunch of times dating back to 1974. Never been to a bad show and never been disappointed by any of the studio work. As long as they keep playing I'll keep listening and enjoying. I can't really explain the robes thing either but it was the 70's after all. Can't get all that...

    Garmin GPS 496 For Sale

    We saw them at Summerfest which was just a few dates into the tour. As Kugel would say, "it didn't suck so bad". Seriously, we had a blast. I also found out that while my brother thinks I'm a genius and my girlfriend thinks I'm a genius to a real genius I'm not a genius. Best of luck selling...

    Sept. 24th Fly In & Air Show - KAIG (WI)

    Re: Sept. 25th Fly In & Air Show - KAIG (WI) If you haven't been to AIG it's well worth the trip. Nice facilities, new ramp, good folks and it's all for a great cause. AVAIL does some important work in the Antigo area and if you can help support them with your attendance please stop by. I'm...

    DF Steers?

    No more DF steers nor DF approaches in the lower 48 but they are both alive and doing very well in Alaska. If you ever have the opportunity to make a visit give either one a try.
