Suburban has been closing at the end of the month for the 7 years I've lived here. Is it really closing now?

FME may be closest(that's where I fly out of), but ground trans is not as convenient as some of the other fields on your list. I can't speak to the options at the other fields, and you might be able to get a rental car dropped at FME for your use. CGS is certainly the best option, assuming...

Hangar space @ FME is unlikely, but maybe worth a call. Tie down is fairly reasonable. Another option could be BWI ($ignature, so certainly won't be cheap!) Agree with @wsuffa regarding the weather this spring so far. Certainly been a strange one. Looks like a brief hot spell next week, but...

That is pretty much in line with others I know of that made the upgrade. I've been a Canon shooter since the early 2000's (with my 35mm Rebel I received as a gift!) but am seriously considering going to a mirrorless system. Most of my photography is travel based and is another expensive hobby...

Jack, did you find the leap from 5DMkIII to the IV to be worth the price? I'm exploring upgrading, but the new features (to me at least) don't seem worth the $$$. Thanks!

No, you can't ignore a Mod. I tried.

Awesome! New airplanes are sexy, but nothing beats a classic in great light!

Yep! That's the one!

Congrats! I'm in the same boat. Last PIC logged was 8/2012. I attended a Rusty Pilot seminar last month, followed by another hour with my CFI covering the changes and happenings operations-wise at the club. Yesterday was a bumpy 2.3, with another round tomorrow. Its great to be back!

I think some people are leaving one or the other (or both) in the panel because the G5 isn't certified to drive an autopilot. Depending on the source required for the existing autopilot may be driving the choice.

True. We have found that every location has it's own nuances. It's up to each of us to determine what is tolerable. MD has worked well for us for several reasons, one of which is proximity to two geographically located sets of grandparents. We are able to tolerate the local politics, as...

Kinda comparing apples and tater tots, here. DHL contracts their airlift through Atlas. UPS owns their airplanes.

I'm late to the comment party here, but i'll toss in my $0.02 here. I've had the opportunity to live in several areas of the country throughout my career, supplemented by both domestic and international travel. We have taken up residence in TX, OK, ND, FL, NH, and now MD. Of those, the best...

Also, take a look at an O2 pressure gauge. Note that it reads "USE NO OIL" on the face. In addition to the combustion possibility of mixing O2 and oil, breathing in the vapor of oil while on oxygen has the potential to incapacitate the user. Petroleum + O2 = BAD.

Seeing as it (presumably) was laden with petroleum products in the form of AvGas and oil, I imagine the owner (or rather, his insurance company) will be paying a handsome fee to a salvage company to recover it at the insistence of the U.S. Coast Guard.

CRW had a landslide on the man made hill that extended 5/23 a few years ago. I think the decommissioned happened as a result of that.

Engineered Material Arresting System. It's a surface in the overrun designed to allow an overrunning aircraft to sink in and not depart the airfield boundary. There have been several overrun incidents that EMAS could have minimized loss of life and aircraft damage. I imagine it was installed...

Don't think he's saying Foreflight should give away their product, just saying that the data FF uses and presents (just like Jepp collects and presents) is available open source. The free option may not be as clean and polished, but it is still an option. If users like the presentation that FF...

I'm no aviation lawyer, or anything other than just a simple PP-ASEL, but I'll throw my guess into the fray: I say 61.113 para. (b)(1) and/or (2) applies here. Discuss...

The time to bet the most is when you can afford to recover the most, i.e. while a steady source of reliable income is still present. While relying solely on investment returns is not the time to gamble, unless that is part of your plan and one can still weather the storm thru the worst case...
