    Keurig Brewers

    I like to justify my flying habit by economizing in other ways. I find the Keurig cups to be more expensive than I would like to pay. I think a coffee filter is about 2 cents and a tablespoon of Maxwell House is way less than a dollar especially if I buy it on sale at Publix. I...

    Coming back after many years share your experience

    I stopped flying for about 27 years to raise a family and deal with the move from a very reasonable flying club to significantly higher costs in another city. A friend took me up for an hour of flight training. I then went to a flying instructor for more instruction (I didn't feel that I...

    To kbhm - Birmingham alabamee

    Interesting advice. If the weather is good tomorrow evening I am going to pick up my daughter at KMCO and had planned to fly to KISM, rent a car and drive to MCO to get her. It would be nice to go to a class B sometime before I die but I know KISM and am comfortable with that airport. Is...

    Can't "fail" a Flight Review - semantics?

    As my instructor has said, he has been amazed that some of his pilots that didn't "pass" his review" managed to find someone to sign off on a flight review and sometimes the pilot my instructor didn't think could fly would get in trouble after that signature (crash, kill someone, etc.).

    To kbhm - Birmingham alabamee

    There are some discussions on the pilot boards about calling up clearance delivery before you depart a class C when you are on the ground. If you call up clearance delivery on the clearance delivery frequency they will give you a squawk code and information about altitude and heading going...

    Trying to predict the economics of aviation if the House DL Medical Bill took effect

    Re: Trying to predict the economics of aviation if the House DL Medical Bill took eff I certainly know folks interested in flying but got stopped by the medical thing. I suspect that aviation will have something of a revival, hopefully a boom with the new pilots.

    King Course Opinions?

    I love the King's humor. I managed a 97 on the written and passed the checkride on the first try. Of course other factors were involved but the King IFR videos helped.

    Any Pireps on KMCO Orlando, FL

    I am also thinking of flying to KISM and maybe renting a car or using the FBO's crew car to pick her up. Interesting the 65 bucks just to say Hi at MCO. I have never flown into a Class B but this would be at 7 or so in the evening on one of the shortest days of the year. So maybe my...

    Miami area rental recommendations & Key West

    I wouldn't pack a raft and vests, but you can if you like. The Keys aren't a mecca of smooth fields for emergency landings so good luck if you have an engine failure. I saw an article recently about how someone did not recommend landing in shallow water but I know nothing about that. It...

    Have you ever landed at the wrong airport?

    On my first cross country solo I managed to land on the wrong runway at a towered airport. Thankfully this was back in the day and no one made any kind of a deal about it.

    Miami area rental recommendations & Key West

    I was down there last Christmas. I had a pleasant experience. With all the talk of fees for going to the Bahamas I don't have a problem with an overnight tie down fee or gas that may be a little more expensive than KFMY (Page Field, Fort Myers has had cheap fuel lately). I would recommend...
