Its ok, snarky is a way of internet life and i am not looking to get into a my plane is faster than your plane discussion, just stating opinion. I agree with you for the most part...but narrow is a relative term...especially for a student. I am merely stating an opinion as a fellow pilot, that...

Not to disagree, but for those of us that are very used to 5k ft runways and 100 ft wide, that seems short and narrow....at least for what I am used to around Atlanta and the type of flying I do. Could I handle it...absolutely, but for a student, I could see it being a challenge. It isn't so...

I got tired of rebuilding my gas weedeater carb (despite putting in non ethonal gas) several years ago so I bought an battery powered weedeater. God i dont miss smelling like exhaust fumes or mixing oil/gas! Yard is too big for an electric mower (2 acres) so still using the riding mower for...

I bought my 172 back in October. It is an older 1966 H model and prior to that I had been flying the newer S models for the last 15 years....I would say in my not so humble opinion (LOL), that I was more than capable of greasing 90% of my landings in those newer S models given how much...

I live in White...just a bit north of there. Cartersville is a great airport as well, i have done many a touch and go there and eaten my fair share of free popcorn they used to do. INteresting fact about KVPC....that is where the Ebola planes are based at (Phoenix Air). Kind of freaked me out...

I pay $205 a month at Calhoun (KCZL) for a T hangar without power. Cheap gas too. I flew out of KRYY (rental) for 15 or so years. Great airport, expensive fuel though. Depending on where your work is...the commute should dictate where you live of course. I live up I 75 around...

FlightPln Go. Works like a champ. And best of all, its free. Works on Iphones no issues, if you have a tablet with GPS, it works fine and if you have a tablet without GPS, just get a Bad Elf gps attachment and it works great. Had i not needed ADSB out and bought a GNX375, i would have just...

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds,-and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've...

KGKT - Gatlinburg, TN....you wont be disappointed. Tons of Mountains, tons of entertainment and tons of food! Great little airport too. 420.1nm according to skyvector. Weather in this area forecast to be in the 90's. Pigeon Forge Right down the road.....Dollywood is a blast! Love the...

I would wait. Why set yourself up for something to go wrong on a long trip as a result of forgetting or not doing something right on the oil change. I know, oil changes are simple, but if it ain't broke (before the long trip) don't fix it. Getting stranded because an oil filter came lose and...

Glad yall had a fun trip, wish i could have made it, but something unavoidable came up. Looks like WX was nice.

Imagine the poor SOB like me (working middle class bum) that lands in Mass. trying to get one more color on his flying map and being told to hand over $1,000. I would be washing dishes in the FBO I guess. Great way to increase the unemployment in Mass.

Texas has great beef BBQ....seems like the rest of the south has great Pork BBQ. Sauces vary from place to place as well....I will say, lately I like Alabama White but I like them all. Prefer more spicy ones lately, not so much sugary sauces. I will be crucified for saying this, but one of...

I put one in my car because i had two people rstart rolling backwards at a stoplight and it made me think that they could claim i hit them from behind and i would have no proof. Within two weeks of installing it, a lady ran a red light and hit me. She told the cop that i ran the red light since...

Hey all, i am going to have to miss this trip....something has come up i cant get out of. Was really looking forward to it sadly, but it is what it is at this point. Have fun.

It doesnt have to be small towns either where "tourists" make a mess of things. I have a God awful commute in Atlanta...1.5 hours 1 way each day. In the summer time, people from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tenn. and so on passing through on their way to their vacation in Florida (or driving back...
