    What I learned about using GA to go places

    I agree. I think Uber will make the last mile much easier as they grow more in smaller cities. I had a great experience yesterday at KLBT. Called Unicom about 10 miles out and asked about a taxi or crew car. they offered up the crew car with no questions and I was on my way 5 minutes after...

    Introduced a friend to Aviation...had a blast

    Took two good friends flying last Friday. One of the friends has a huge fear of flying but managed to get in the plane and go. He commented that it was a shame flying was so scary because it sure was pretty! (It made it better that we were flying to Athens and he went to UGA). We had lunch...

    My baby boy completed his long solo cross country!

    I did KGMU-KAHN-KGRD-KGMU for my long cross country. I love the Athens airport. Tower told me to come back and hang out and have a Coke next time I was in the area!

    SR20 v DA40

    I have sat in an SR22 exactly one time and have never been in a DA-40. How do front seat passengers like having the center stick in the seat? Does it get in the way or is it uncomfortable? On my last xc with my wife she wasn't thrilled that the Cherokee had a yoke in front of her so not sure...

    It shall be mine!

    Probably more true than we like to believe. I have a friend who has been interested in aviation for the last 10 years. We always talked planes and about 8 years ago he built a sweet flightsim with 3 screens, while I went and got my actual license and flew actual airplanes. Just saw him a...

    Embarking on my longest flight yet...

    I haven't had my license much longer than you and I just did my longest flight last month. Ended up with 9.6 on the hobbs after the weekend. Take your time and evaluate the weather at each stop. I had to wait out some early morning MVFR conditions twice and had to fly lower than I wanted for...

    Headset for dual use

    I have this exact setup for my son and wife. They like it because it is comfortable and familiar. I've tried it a couple of times and it works pretty well, but the ANR is not as good as a good dedicated aviation headset like the A20.

    VFR to Orlando in late April?

    Ha! Turns out there was a beautiful Skylane parked beside us on the ramp at KISM that both my wife and mother in law commented on!

    VFR to Orlando in late April?

    Just a quick update: we made the flight and had a blast! We chose to leave Thurs afternoon and fly to Tallahassee to avoid the forecast thunderstorms in the upstate for Friday morning. We were treated great by Million Air and they arranged a discounted hotel room and shuttle. We had to wait...

    Near-Fatal Spin on First Solo

    I soloed at 13 hours and got my ticket at 47. I certainly didn't/don't know everything but I've yet to feel unprepared for a flight or unsafe. I do still treat every flight like a lesson to learn and over prepare for each time I go up and I keep my minimums ultra conservative. I don't believe I...
