    Inexpensive twin

    I second the Cougar. Fantastically affordable aircraft. I owned one for 5 years and found it to be a reliable, comfortable and easy to fly twin. It truly has no bad habits. It’s Lycoming 0-320’s are easy on maintenance and sip fuel. A speed demon it’s not, it holds a lot of fuel and carry’s a...

    Had you explained it this way, I wouldn’t have felt the need to comment. That makes sense.

    Anyone switch foreflight <==> FlyQ?

    So in reality, you are taking it out on Boeing, even though the changes and packages you speak of, came before Boeing’s acquisition of FF. That makes sense...NOT! I’m neither a fan or hater of Boeing and until such time their direct input changes FF for better or worse, is when I’ll express an...

    Anyone switch foreflight <==> FlyQ?

    I have to ask, how, in what way did the Boeing acquisition push you over the edge? Nothing to date has changed. Really curious, do you know something we don’t?

    60 Hours in a 152 Starting in Oregon--Where to??

    Tom, so very true, but I wouldn’t say meaningless. I planned on some decent tailwinds on my flight east, based on briefings and ForeFlight. I was lucky crossing into Illinois catching and 8-11 knot tailwind. The majority of my flight east had me dealing with headwinds, go figure. I was very...

    60 Hours in a 152 Starting in Oregon--Where to??

    60 hours is way more than he would need. Last July I flew coast to coast in an S-LSA, took 21 hours. I’m a few knots faster...60 isn’t unreasonable IMHO.

    [NA]Debit v Credit card

    ^What he say! Never use a DC for anything or anywhere else. Credit cards are more secure, IMHO. A few friends I have that were victims of theft were from DC’s. All were compromised using the cards for small purchases, like at a deli or gas station.

    Owning

    If you live check to check, they buying and or financing a toy is not a good idea. If living check to check is not you, GO FOR IT. Just know that there are other expenses, both known, unknown and those life brings you...like marriage and kids. You sound like you have a head on your shoulders...

    Looking for advice on glasses...

    Progressive Gradient lenses in a pair of RayBan Aviators. Also have a pair of Oakleys. The clear at the bottom with my reading script solves reading the chart problem. Find a good Optometrist, my guy is a pilot..it helps.

    60 Hours in a 152 Starting in Oregon--Where to??

    Head East and don’t stop until you hit the Atlantic, then reverse course. That should be 20-30 hours, use the remainder to wander, maybe to the southwest...

    With less than a month to go, before the grand re-opening...Does anyone have current photos of the almost completed project?

    Well it was a good (almost) 10 years.

    I’m not buying it, tell us the REAL reason for the sale of your plane. If you own a cell phone you have more to worry about my friend. So, what’s the real story?
