Years ago, I used to listen to some aviation podcasts out there. Anyone have an recommendations on current podcasts still out there, mainly dealing with General Aviation?

On June 6, 2015, the Chicago NATCA Bridge-the-Gap (BTG) air traffic controllers will host an aviation symposium at Lewis University (LOT). This will be an FAA WINGS event, so prior registered participants receive WINGS credit for attendance. For those who have had questions on why Chicago...

I'm curious. How difficult would it be to have a folder dedicated to ATC related discussions? Maybe include FSDO questions as well?

Hi, Is there any possibility of creating an iPad compatible port for the live chat feature? Does TapaTalk allow for this? Thanks.

I've heard pluses on both sides, just curious which method is more popular when landing.

Hey guys, my wife and I have a wedding to attend in Frankenmuth this June. It would appear the town is between MBS and FNT. Any of you guys have recommendations on what airport to fly to? HYX looks pretty close, 66G is almost in town, FNT and MBS are a respectable distance away. Anyone on...

Bucket list: fly into AirVenture.... CHECK This is long, but I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did writing it. I took my flying club's BE33 yesterday morning from LL10 (Naper Aero), picked up a buddy who works at the TRACON and his son to head up to OSH. His son had never flown...

Hi, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and figured I'd say hello here. I'm based out of Naper Aero (LL10), a low time PPL with instrument rating, thinking about getting a commercial and CFI rating as well. I joined a flying club here about two years ago and got my currency back (as well...
