It was done by a previous owner. I don’t have the logbooks with me at the moment, but I believe it was several states away. There is an avionics shop nearby that I am going to make time to visit.

You won’t get cleared into the B...the approach path for the east runways passes right over the top of 06C. If on west flow, then it’s the same problem, except the heavy metal is going the other way as departures. You can follow the Eisenhower westbound from downtown low level under the B and...

I own a ‘72 Arrow II. I can go 130 knots on about 10 gals/hr. 550nm’s is going to be pushing it with the 50 gal fuel capacity. It’s winter in WI right now, but I can climb out at 1000fpm right up to 5000’.... I’m sure that will change in the summer. I’m thinking you’ll probably need a III...

Nav2 was correct I can’t make it Saturday morning, unfortunately I have to work.

I recently bought an Arrow with a KSN770 A few weeks ago ground control had a hard time hearing me on Comm 1. I switched to Comm 2 on the ground which they said was much better. Don’t notice a difference in the air. Today I was practicing for an IPC and intended to track inbound to a VOR and...

I know what the controller was trying to do....avoid the back-and-forth that comes with a “hold short” instruction. When I worked in a tower, I had a 50% success rate with that. Whenever they tell you to “hold short”, the pilot is required to read back the hold short instruction. Inevitably...

Fun fact: Boeing’s corporate flight department callsign is “Red Barn”

If I were him I’d have a new Tinder profile picture! New meme: ridiculously photogenic airplane guy

I’m a controller, and have said stupid things on my end of the mic. But I have heard things, too... My favorite was a biz jet going into LOT. “Hey, Approach, do you have a frequency to cancel on the ground?” Me: negative, but I have a phone number you can use Jet: roger, we’ll take that...

I met Joe at Blackhawk Maintenance today...very friendly guy. I’m not necessarily looking forward to trying his services out, but happy that there is someone on field (and close to my hangar!)

I one time worked a CRJ2 landing on a 6500’ runway that hadn’t touched the pavement over halfway down the runway. They did get the plane stopped and off the runway at the end, then sat for several minutes before calling to taxi in to the terminal building. I wish I could have heard the...

The ATIS is put out by the tower. The approach controllers are in a completely different facility. I want to know you have the ATIS because I don’t know all of the information the different towers are putting out, NOTAMs, etc...and if I read you the information I have, and it’s different than...

Thank you for the invite! No promises as I have to work in Elgin mid-day, but I will try. I am familiar with Spring City at BUU and like Paul there. Who do you call on-field when something breaks unexpectedly and you can’t fly somewhere else? It seems like GA maintenance is pretty light here.

I just moved my new-to-me Arrow to Janesville, WI. Those of you who base here, who do you use for maintenance?

When I was 17, I took a prospective prom date up in a 150. We flew over her house, our school etc...then I asked her to prom on the way back to the airport. She said no. I am thinking if I sprung for the 172 she might have said yes. Joke is on her now, 18 years later I own an Arrow and she...
