    I did a powered parachute ride and it was awesome.

    That does look like fun. But cargo shorts?

    Buffalo River, Arkansas

    You can fly into Harrison - about 30 min drive from the river and Natl park. Fly yourself or commercial- southern airways express flights from DFW. Ponca, Jasper, several nice areas. I think early to mid October is usually good for the fall color - but depends on the year. Good luck. Also...

    I flew my plane over 400 parked airplanes in the desert (VIDEO)

    Great video. That really adds perspective to the current situation. Also interesting on the Southwest 737maxs

    KONA (Winona,MN) Quick Family Trip

    Beautiful scenery and sounds like a great trip. Always nice how just a half day vac. on Friday afternoon opens up a great longer weekend.

    The Perfect Flight Bag. (Do I really need to put the parenthetical satire part?)

    Great video. Love the wires. Btw how many planes do you have? Grumman and a Cirrus?

    Where would you land?

    D. Pull the red handle and deploy chute. But seriously this is a good thread. Enjoyed the discussion.

    Chevy Volt

    I’ve had a Volt for 3 years. Love it. I got the $7,500 credit plus state credit of $2,500. I buy gas about once every 4 months. Charge for free at work. Really like the overall drive and convenience. Motor backup if you drive more than 42 miles.

    Call For Price

    I think I will start another thread “I’m thinking about buying a plane - which one should I get?” Just to bug Pasta man. He seems to have a short fuse.

    Call For Price

    My daily ritual is to peruse Barnstormers for cool planes I probably can’t afford. I really enjoy looking at the low SMOH, leather seats and a great panel, and imagining pulling the trigger. Then I notice it says call for price. Van Bortel here in DFW does it a lot. It’s really a buzz...

    182 Nosewheel Upgrade

    I was watching some of Bryan’s videos on YouTube and really enjoyed them. Particularly liked the one on the walk around pre-flight check. He showed using a penny to check tire tread and I was wondering if that’s what I should use for my new nose wheels. Maybe a larger coin?

    Saturday morning was the best day for kids (back in the day)

    Someone said they don’t show Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Daffy Duck and gang anymore either. That was the highlight of Saturday morning for me.

    I guess I will just enter it as two plans. Was trying to just get it into one flight plan. Thanks

    ForeFlight-Add a fuel Stop

    I'm planning a long cross country. In flightplan im getting warning that says maximum fuel exceeded by 23 gallons. I would like to plan and enter a fuel stop but can’t figure out how to add fuel. Is there some trick I’m missing? Or do you just have to wait until you arrive at that location...

    Wheelpant Repair 3D Print?

    I’m wondering if anyone has tried 3D printing the interior stiffeners for wheel pants. There are several plastic type parts and a few metal as well that are broken on mine. Not sure if it would be tough enough or rigid enough to hold up. I’ve been looking online at salvage too. For a C 182 J

    The utility of Windy.com keeps getting better

    Great site. Adding it to my arsenal. Also noted it has paragliding spots - who knew there were so many. Gotta love the internets. Lol

    Looking for my first plane.. on a budget.. open to suggestions

    Join a club for a year. Get a lot of flying in and find out what type of plane you like.....high wing low wing etc. great way to share costs and meet other folks. May change your mind completely on what type of plane you want.

    Then again, maybe GA is not doomed

    That is a great video. Amazing what he knows already and would be interesting to see what career he picks. Must be very proud parents.

    Ft Worth Aviation Museum

    Over the Holiday weekend we took in the Ft Worth Air Museum near Meacham airport. It is a great museum with a bunch of airplanes outside and great exhibits inside spanning WWI thru present. We were very impressed with the volunteers who gave us a great walking tour with details that could...
