    rumor: no Ipad update this week

    Ipad base storage got bumped from 16gb to 32gb with no price increase. I'll take it since 16gb was way too small. Not really excited about the 7. I'll stick to my Samsung Note 5 which isn't the one that catches on fire...

    rumor: no Ipad update this week

    I'm looking to get an Ipad this holiday season so I'm watching closely to see what, if anything, they come out with today. If nothing new comes along an Ipad Air 2 should do the job and hopefully it'll be on sale this Christmas. The pro is overkill for what I need.

    In-N-Out

    5 Guys is my go to. Never had a bad burger and the Cajun fries are awesome. It is a bit pricey though.

    Which plane to fly?

    I'd go with DA20 or the 172N. Man those prices are high though. I'll be paying $131 for a G1000 172 at UND and the 172N I currently rent is $115. It's good you have a nice variety to choose from though. I'm not sure the G1000 is worth the premium unless you know it'll be needed in future jobs...

    Any "advanced" simmers in here?

    Very cool! I had xplane for a while (until my old computer couldn't take it anymore) but nothing as high quality as this. Thanks for sharing!

    Proficiency ?

    18 hours over two years isn't enough to be proficient imo. I'd take a CFI if going up after flying that infrequently.

    Flight Following question

    I agree with the above posters. If you've been given an altitude restriction ask for permission to start your decent. If they've just said "maintain VFR at or below 3500" or something similar than it isn't required but it's a good thing to jet give them a heads-up. When in doubt ask.

    Plane crash just posted by local news in Ohio on Facebook. :(

    Hope everyone on board made it out ok. Was just flying and the weather is great, will be interesting to see the cause. Always hate to see any crash but those close to home hit especially hard.

    What plane to buy for 300m twice weekly commute?

    I second the Saratoga recommendation above. Family of 4 plus bags and dogs, as stated in the op, will probably appreciate the room in the Saratoga cabin and the speed gain from retract vs Cherokee 6 would help with the commute as well. My $0.02.

    Drones again...

    Here's my take on drone regs... It's idiots like the folks in the above article, or the ones that fly drones in restricted airspace over wildfires or prisons or Washington DC or under the approach paths of major airports that make me think its only a matter of time before one of this near...

    Pilot shortage once again....

    Barring a 911 style terror attack or a major recession the pilot/pay/people wiling to work for low pay/whatever shortage is only going to get worse over the next 5-10 years. I saw somewhere that more pilots are retiring in the next 5-10 years then there are pilots at the regionals currently...

    WrightPatterson AF museum

    They built a new hangar and I believe all the planes over in the presidential hangar have been moved to the new hangar attached to the others.
