Thanks in advance to anyone who reads through my ramblings. My grandfather, who lives in Bullhead City, is starting to decline, and I'd like to make good on a ~promise to take him flying before he goes. Something kinda like this: -fly into KLAS and Uber to a smaller airport. -Checkout in a...

You wouldn’t want to fly an approach to minimums using only ForeFlight but if the ceiling wasn’t too low you could probably do better than guessing… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe, maybe not - either way, it’s at least a little bit of a funny thought. As to the rest, you might be right. I was just trying to describe Mark to the best of my knowledge. You’re right that he’d still be worthy of support without some of those qualities, and I thank you for yours. If he...

He’s a pillar of our local airport community. I haven’t spent a ton of time with him, but I’ve heard the way people I do know and trust talk about and revere him. I suppose I can’t attest to it first hand but people I trust do. I hope that’s okay. Still appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone...

What is an RGOI? Thanks for your generosity guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fellow Pilots, Can I introduce you guys to Mark Linsley? He was the DPE for my PPL, and is a legend of a pilot here in Michigan. Unfortunately, after giving a kidney to a family member (~5yrs ago), he has been diagnosed with cancer in the other. I'm not close with Mark or his family, but I...

I just checked out in one of Southwest Flight Center’s 172s out of Scottsdale and rented it for a personal mission that afternoon (last weekend). They were responsive and had a sizable fleet. Availability of plane and instructor was not an issue. Cheap lodging at the Extended Stay America up the...

Any of you fine folks familiar with Ed Verville from Indiana? A friend of mine is looking into doing their IFR checkride and was curious if any of you did one with him. He came recommended by a trusted CFI but it always helps to hear other experiences too. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using...

Not gonna lie - this looks really fun. https://flygwa.com/n262va-rv12 How hard is the RV-12 to fly when compared to, say, a typical 172? I don't have that many hours, but I like to think I'm okay at learning...

Man I’d sure love to come - family logistics are complex right now. What are the top 5 local highlights? Sell me (my wife) on it [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve sent you a DM. Interesting idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here in Michigan, I’m told there are basically two, and I’m told they both basically have negative reputations. (Have not verified these claims, though they came from a trustworthy source.) Why aren’t there more? Can it be done well? Is this a market opportunity or an indication that there is...

Hey! I resemble that remark! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t think they’re white? Maybe the color balance is off on my camera. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually, I think you can do your PPL in a light sport, except for parts of the training that it isn’t equipped for (like, possibly, night.) Flyingmag.com has an article about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jason Schappert and his “lovely lady Magda” were very much the same. His teeth are brilliantly white, she is stunningly beautiful, and they both convinced me they were thoroughly thrilled to meet me in person “after interacting on social media!”. It was smooth and fulfilling and took 0:45s...

How does the 140 like to be run? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
