    Where to fly in Illinois?

    I liked the restaurant in Bloomington, but it's been a few years since I was there. There was also a small aircraft museum.

    Comenity Bank Credit Cards

    I might have. I do recall other cards would do a quarterly 5% promo and I'd sometimes get the 5% back on avgas.

    Comenity Bank Credit Cards

    I got that AAA card too for the same reason. I'm curious to see if I get 5% on avgas purchases (I've had occasional success with other cards).

    AOPA Hangout Tampa — 4-6 Nov

    Ugh my timing is bad. I have another event near Sarasota this weekend. I thought to arrive yesterday to attend the Hangout today, but a required work training means I'm now waiting at LAX for a redeye to arrive after 5 am tomorrow so I can head towards Sarasota. Btw, not to hijack, but anyone...

    Avionics thefts- Chicago edition

    Ensure you're familiar with your state's definition of burglary. Unoccupied aircraft on ramp? Probably not included. Hangar where you're sleeping? Maybe. And there's probably case law to peruse in addition to the statutes. Btw, I noticed aircraft piracy was listed.

    Carlsbad Caverns trip

    First time I rented from Enterprise not realizing they didn't have a relationship with the fbo so the keys and agreement were left for me in a non-fbo area. The second time I rented from the fbo. It worked well. Maybe wait until some of the covisteria dies down so you can plan a full extended...

    Eric Marcus Municipal Airport? P01

    I've been there once, but I came from the east avoiding the restricted airspace. I'm now reminded of the walk back to the airport from the country club where I witnessed a bee on the ground fighting an ant.

    Having flown to all of those areas from Tucson I would pick the 182.

    Want To Buy Group Looking for Taildragger

    There are five of us in Tucson looking for a taildragger. We previously had an early model Citabria (basically flew like an Aeronca Chief) until it was groundlooped (not by me) and the insurance company bought it. Most of us intend to build time (to get qualified to fly a glider towplane) then...

    Defund police helicopters.

    I mentioned mobile acute crisis teams in another reply. They won't go inside a perimeter with police unless the police have secured the area. Definitely don't want them rolling up in the police cars.

    Defund police helicopters.

    They tracked the perpetrator to outside a house where he lased them. Then he ran inside the house. I listened to the frequency thinking classic felony stupid.

    Defund police helicopters.

    Where I live (also in the Phoenix area and probably elsewhere) there are mobile acute crisis teams that can respond to calls. Sometimes the police will call for a MAC team, MAC will call for the police, or both will get dispatched. I've seen police drop-off individuals at a behavioral health...

    Defund police helicopters.

    You are probably correct. I was surprised to see it liftoff so quickly after the reports came in. It's also possible that they were ready due to earlier laser reports I didn't hear.
