Oh yes! I was last year and The jambalaya and good company was such a highlight of my AirVenture visit. I will make it a priority to come by again this year. Unfortunately, coming alone- wife can't make it- she has to work to be able to send me to AirVenture this year. :)

My wife and I will try to make it. Due to recent back surgery (I am lucky that it was just at the right timing that my doc is even letting me travel) I am not supposed to carry anything heavier than a gallon milk jug and I will be unable to haul anything in- really very sorry- I know that makes...

And herein lays the weirdness of the the FAR's and the interpretations. In summary, you can legally log PIC time even though you are not legally qualified to be PIC. No wonder US pilot logbooks are viewed with suspicion outside of the USA. I had an FO try to pull the same stunt on an A320-...

Correct! A US Certificate entitles you to fly a US-registered (N-numbered) aircraft anywhere in the World. However, to fly a Canadian-registered aircraft solo or as pilot-in-command, you require to have either a Canadian pilot licence or a validation of your foreign (in this case US) pilot...

Speaking of which Matt, it unclear of where you are going in Canada (it is a big country) but in the Vancouver or Vancouver Island area seaplane flying is a year-round activity (climate is similar to Seattle). Another idea, if you are going in the cold season (still to early) is to go skiplane...

Matt, If you want to take that further and get your Canadian pilot license, after getting your US pilot certificate, these are the advisory circulars (published by the FAA and Transport Canada respectively)...

From the looks of it, BillTIZ evidently only subscribes to portions of Part 61: "§61.41 Flight training received from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA. (a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot certificate or rating issued under this part, if that...

You better hurry up and buy that engine, lest some bozo tries to build a wall after January 2017. Then nothing will be able to get in or out of the US anymore.

Don't be fooled by a Billateral Airworthiness Standard or anything else, Canadian maintenance standards are not like in the US, as this investigative report reveals:

Looking at pictures of those holding public office in Washington, most of them look quite a bit fitter than most Americans I see waddling around in everyday life. A first class medical is not an astronaut physical, but I don't see why color vision or some physical requirements essential for the...

Lemme see. It's a free course and getting your certificate will cost you nothing. And the certificate never expires. You people really do have reason to get angry. For those of you how are constantly going on about the FAA, you should deal with some of the foreign aviation regulators I deal...

I live in the Middle East in a predominantly Muslim country-- I tell my co-workers, "yes, I am going on pilgrimage too this year"! :) Not unlike the Hajj, it should be the duty of good pilots to go at least once during their lifetime.

Earlier this year, I came to realize that I was an atheist; not buying into the vision of what life after death is like that they pedal in churches, synagogues or mosques, and disgusted with the way the World behaves in the name of religion. Now, if EAAer's can model a new cult, not unlike...

Jay, I am not sure I understand the numbers entirely-- are "showplanes" all of the aircraft that flew in that didn't fall into the other categories you cited? Also, just wondering if EAA published the number of camping units that stayed at Camp Scholler over the week?

Sure loved it- and the awesome thing is my wife loved it too! We " did" AirVenture "organically"-- a two-man tent, sleeping bags, air matress and a battery-powered lantern; about all that fits into a standard Delsey suitcase. Being Canadian, it was cool to see the Snowbirds and the Martin...
