    Training in NY Catskills? Corona mission

    I’m based at KMSV and don’t know if any flight schools there or CFI’s for that matter. Sullivan Co is a nice airport with a 6,200’ runway and a mechanic on the field. There have been on/off talks to get a flight school there, but nothing ever materialized. Orange County, KMGJ has flight...

    Which new Iphone? My old one is somewhere in South America

    I recently went from the 7+ to the 11 Pro Max. I got the 11, when the battery on my 7 wouldn’t hold a decent charge and rather than hassle with having it repaired. I went for the new phone. I’m happy with the upgrade the 11 is sweet.

    DA-20 Incident/accident, last month?

    Preliminary report is in on this, “FUEL EXHAUSTION”! FAA inspector found 16oz of fuel and No Leaks. So sad. I purchased this plane new in 2004 and flew her back from the factory in Canada. Sadly, I sold her the end of 2009. It wasn’t your typical DA-20, it was decked out with a Garmin 530...

    Spokane Co. sues man over use of private helipad

    The guy is a neophyte. Like you said, he should have did his homework. There is a well known aviator, who registered a “Heli-Stop” in his backyard on Long Island. It’s just outside the 5 mile ring of KFRG and backs up against state land. The town went crazy and tried telling him he could use...

    Flying for company on a PPL

    I believe you are correct, if one is flying alone. I thought it would be good with passengers, until I read FAA’s counsels report on the subject.

    Franklin Engine

    Columbia Aircraft Services, located at N13, Bloomsburg PA, was the overhaul shop the Army used for the military (Sioux) 47. They overhauled a friends 47 engine 10 or so years ago. I believe they still do Franklins, as well as Lyc’s.

    Sliding Canopy

    When I had my Grumman Tiger, I kept a piece of PVC pipe, with a cutout down the center the width of the canopy rail. Thinking was, when placed over the rail, it would keep the canopy from slamming shut. The Grumman canopy would pretty much stay where you left it if opened in flight or taxiing...

    Is BasicMed in jeopardy of being useless for older pilots?

    Speaking of medicals, I’ve had many in my flying years. One thing I’ll say, is the exam given by ones private physician is hands down more through than the one an AME gives you. Unless of course you are seeinga physician such as Dr Bruce and seeking a SPecial issuance. im not saying it’s the...

    NYC Corridor Trip - Restaurants North

    Thanks for the Pirep mcdewey. How long was the total flight time, w29 to POU? I’d like to visit W29, it’s where I took my Rusty Pilot course, flew the Searey and the Auto Gyro. That was on my road back to the left seat. Helen runs a nice operation.

    Can anyone identify this tail beacon?

    I had a similar belly strobe on my Grumman Cougar, it was a Whelen. The one in the video is probably a product of Whelen or Grimes. Nowadays, most probably going to be LED.

    Issues cancelling VFR flight plans

    To the OP, how did you file your VFR flight plan? I rarely file, but the past few times I have, I’ve used Fore Flight, easy peasy, file or cancel/close. Is it different flying outside the US, to the Bahamas?
