Went flying yesterday, did the preflight and pulled my 1969 Cessna 172 out of the Hanger, she has a Lycoming O-320. Anyway, I went to start it, and instead of the prop turning over, all I heard was a spinning sound. Kind of a whirring. I turned the key again and it did it again. It...

My wife is from Spain and her family had one of the originals. She looks at them kind of like we look at the original Beetle. We are thinking about buying one for her to drive back and forth to work. Flav

This!

In Illinois, no FOID card no Boom Boom. Get him a gift certificate. Flav

I went ahead and bought it. For $2.99 it is pretty inexpensive entertainment. Thanks Flavius

This has been my experience as well in my 172 and in the cheokee I used to fly.

Ahh, I use my IPAD for work and play. it is a less expensive way to get inflight weather, geo sync approach plate, geo sync taxi diagrams,etc. Flav

Yes, the Cellular ones have a built in GPS so unless you are going to buy a ADS-B receiver (which have a built in WASS GPS) you are going to want a cellular one. Flav

I have to admit, I don't understand why all the trouble mounting the IPAD, I have mounted mine on the yoke in both a Cherokee 180 and my 69 Cessna 172 and not blocked any instruments. Flav

What? The IPAd is a great addition to the cockpit. For around $1,200 dollars, I have a moving map GPS that works great with inflight weather. Then to top it all off, I can take it out of the cockpit and use it for all sorts of other things. Your statement on the IPAD being worthless...

I love this idea.

Boy could I make some inappropriate dirty old man jokes with this one....:wink2:

Yep that is kind of what I was thinking of.

How about your shirt collar. I am thinking a lapel pin or something. Flav

Wearing a pin or something would have to be paired with an advertising campaign by AOPA and the EAA so people would know what it means. It is just an idea. Flav

The photos make me want to weep.

We have all restated the reasons why the population is declining, I was looking for ways to stop it. Ways that are realistic and things that we as GA Pilots can do. We all look at the barriers and say negative things, but I have only been flying for 3 yrs. When I started thing were pretty...

I agree with almost everything you state, it is very expensive and time consuming. My point is a lot of folks do not understand that this is a viable hobby. There are flying clubs that you can get into that make flying pretty inexpensive in comparison to owning the plane yourself. I don't...

Hi Everyone, I have been a lurker for a long time and finally decided to post something. :-) There has been a lot of discussion lately form the various groups about the declining GA Pilot Populations. There are a thousand different reasons why and they have all put hashed to death on the...
