I recognize that Arrow from my window shopping for planes from like three years ago!

You can purchase them online still and print at home. You'll get a ticket to print out that you'll take to the pre-paid line.

It’s an 18’ trailer.

Great tips so far, thanks!! I’ve also read somewhere, or maybe it was a podcast, there’s a guy with a coffin for a beer cooler.

This will be my family's first time camping at AirVenture (and first time camping in a long time). I've rented a trailer, and we'll be coming in Thursday-Sunday. I understand available spots might be in the boonies of Camp Scholler, by that time, but I'm wondering what other Camp Scholler tips...

I asked support about this (their support is really responsive and awesome), and they said if you don't have any current or future routes in your personal account, they'll add sample routes from their generic account. If you put in a route in your account, the generic ones wont show up. Just...

Another thing, aren't ceiling heights given in AGL? So KGYY's elevation is 591', which then puts the cloud layer around 3400 MSL? Makes sense that you'd encounter them starting at 3300 then.

I'm in the MKE area, currently rent out of ETB. We're only a family of three, but the more comfortable the plane, the easier it'll be to convince the wife ;). I'm not in a position right now since we're building a new home, but inthe next year or so I'd like to get in to a club/partnership...

Maybe all the more reason to stop. You could park and get a ride over to the terminal and take the through the Mitchell Gallery of Flight exhibit. https://www.mitchellgallery.org/ I wonder if you name dropped at the FBO they’d waive the fee!

I've done this a few times and there is never a bill in the mail. Only Signature has the ramp fees, and like someone else said, if you're there to collect the stamp, they'll waive the fee. KMKE isn't KORD, and there is usually never a time they can't take a VFR arrival.

No, tower just told me to let him know when I wanted to turn west, so I said I'd turn at the Crib. I turned, he said maintain heading and altitude, and through I went. My course took me just south of the runway ends, so gave a great view of the whole airport out the right side.

I may do that next time. The controller asked if I was familiar with it, but I was in name only. I hadn't "studied" it enough to feel comfortable, since my plan was either MDW or around south. I figured right over Midway was enough of a treat!

I was the same way, always double checking my position and altitude. My biggest challenge was my route put me through the edge of Waukegan airspace, so I stayed above it but then had to get down to go under the Bravo. I got really worried when my transponder started acting up and started...

You should see him go... Over the Top! :D

Finally had the time, the plane, and the weather to complete my mission to fly the Chicago lakefront en route to Pilot Pete's yesterday 7/15, with my son and his friend. ATC was awesome, patient, and very helpful. Got FF from Chicago Approach, and after some initial transponder issues (was...

I'm pretty locked in to going Saturday, as I have a meeting at 7pm on Sunday. It's at my airport, so if I had the Arrow, I could probably make it back in time, but doubtful in the 172.

Thanks for the info, and doing the hard work! :) Sounds doable then, except, I just checked the schedule and the Arrow I'd rent is booked both days! :( One of the 172s is available however on Saturday, so I'll have to weigh my options.

Did you ever get any answers to this? I was just looking at this show today and thought it would be a fun day-trip but wondered too about flying in. I messaged the event on Facebook, but haven't heard back yet, and the only contact info on the event website is for the Boy Scout office.

What's a "crahes"

Appreciate the nachos tip! And congrats on the PPL.
