Not yet willing to part with mine, but I could let you use mine or burn cards for you. I bought some spare cards for my GX55, and they worked fine. I'm in Aurora, if you find yourself south of the border often enough to pursue.

I'm just a PPL holder, but I understood the controllers instructions perfectly, and I wouldn't have found myself that close. Further, even in IFR, the PIC is responsible for sanity-checking controller instructions and he should have noticed himself flying into terrain. I think the controller...

Most sheetmetal shops can powdercoat and silkscreen just about anything, but it'll cost you. I know of a few out here on the west coast, but I guarantee there are others closer to you.

To whom would one ship such camping gear?

Couldn't hear the results, but sounded non-critical. Approach-ATC was using enroute-aircraft to relay messages to gear-up plane, but could only hear controller-side of conversation. Controller asked "any injuries", and after short silence reply was a simple "thanks". I'd assume if the results...

Listening to PDX-approach on LiveATC. Cobra-53 is circling now, waiting on emergency vehicles to arrive. Planning a gear-up landing at HIO. Wow - can't hear the pilot, but the controller is very calm about the whole thing.

While I didn't read each thread, I did read enough to draw a few conclusions: 1) WOW, just WOW! 2) My wife is wonderful (supports my addiction, but refuses to fly the plane) 3) I'm glad we got past our marital troubles (minor, but very distracting/discouraging at the time)...

I'm a buyer at $100, case and all.

I'm on a slow-mission to do at least 1 full-stop at each public-use airport in Oregon (nearly done), so I've probably done the one you're considering. I'm flying a Grumman Tiger and haven't had any trouble w/ runway-length so far. I have, however, found that some of these fields are pretty...

I'd be interested - located just south at UAO. I only get to fly on weekends, so if that works for you, let me know and we'll figure something out.

Suggest a side-trip to CNO - some pretty cool planes on the tarmac. I've not been to the museum there, but sounds worthwhile.

I think you may be mistaken. AirNav shows 2WA1 is PPR. "Airport use: Private use. Permission required prior to landing" Is this a case similar to Roche Harbor, where it's technically PPR, but the owners still invite everyone and "permission" is granted after landing?

Useful for saved routes. Useful for keeping track of airports visited. Overall worth knowing. Thanks

So I built one up last night - was planning to test today. Winds are 60-degrees off centerline 19G35. I think I'll wait for tomorrow. Anxiously awaiting.

In a row of T-hangars, the hangar next door had a Prist leak that bled under the walls into my hangar. Now the hangar smells like diesel fuel every time I walk in. At first, it was so bad that I was worried about the smell permeating inside the aircraft and persisting (a la cigarette smoke)...

As pilots, the vast majority of us are economically fortunate. Please join me in supporting a worthwhile event - bicycling to raise money for MS research. Any amount will help, even just a few gallons of fuel. The team's website is...

Thanks for all the constructive information. To answer a few questions: 1) yes, I did advise ATC that I was initiating the descent. 2) Lost communication was due to mountainous terrain, radio was working fine 3) yes, I did transmit in the blind and advise that I wished to discontinue...

Today I took a 300nm VFR cross country (UAO to O16), using Flight Following, but no flight plan (daredevil). As I neared the destination, I began a slow descent (informing ATC) from 11.5k to 6k feet. As I descended, I was concerned that the mountains would prevent further radio comms, so I...

I miss Dr. Bruce.

You got me curious. So what about this guy - any ideas what he's doing? DHS seems to be running in circles here.
