    Folding Bikes?

    Was at Ocracoke the other day and a couple got out of a C182, unfolded two bikes and off they went. I know 182s have plenty of room so it would be easier for them to transport. I wasnt paying a lot of attention to the make or model of the bikes but thought they really cool! Seeing how helpful...

    Stratux, phantom traffic

    Someone posted this a while back , stating they had phantom "traffic alerts" on foreflight while using stratux. Yesterday cruising at 5500ft I got one of those. Traffic 500ft directly underneath me and climbing! It happened maybe 3 times in a span of 3-4 minutes. I almost right away remembered...

    Tips for planning a "long" VFR-only XC

    yeah lol. I've been there once in a DA20. Fuel stop/Breakfast at KGMU. Landed at KFTY and they were GREAT! I got the crew car for a whole day for free. I tipped the line guys as soon as they dropped us off in front of the FBO so that might have been part of a "free car".

    how likely am I to make this vfr only flight? (Weather)

    Thanks everyone! The flight is tomorrow morning and so far is a yes go.. I will have a look at what is expected on Friday (return day) as it looks like that cold front will clear up some forecasted lower visibility in the afternoon. Worst case scenario we wait it out till Saturday.. Wont...
