It has been 7 years since I have flown. There was a confluence of events that caused it. Thought I was done for good. I started getting a bit of a bug last year, went back to Oshkosh. Got my BasicMed after that and last Saturday was the first time flying since 9/13/15. Went really well, old...

I noticed a 1971 Cessna 150 very near my house popped up on Barnstormers. While this is not my dream aircraft, it would be a good step back into aviation, is close and has a hanger already…as I am looking at it, I see it has changed hands almost yearly in the past 3-4 years. is this...

So I left aviation in 2015. There were a confluence of reasons. Sold my Cherokee 180 and moved on to other things. However, I am now considering a return and in this era of crazy plane prices , I am trying to focus on overlooked under appreciation planes which has me considering the older...

I don’t know what percentage of folks are putting down cash for airplanes, maybe a large percent…but in the next year or so, if the inflation we are seeing does not reverse, I anticipate some significant increases in interest rates…if that happens the pool of people not paying cash is going to...

Living on the Western Edge of lake Michigan does not always bring the best weather for winter flying, that and a busy work schedule have conspired to keep me out of the plane since December. As I brush off the cobwebs, any advice for my first restart of the season? Went to look at the...

I have only had my Cherokee for a few months and I have about 20 hours in it. I was taking off this evening for a local fun flight, no problems with start, I ran it up no problem, but when I took off, there was a moderate vibration that I have not felt before. It stopped about 500 ft in the...

Evening flight yesterday

But have a friend's drug sniffing dog check it out first before you fly into a friendly Fed reception...:D http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Piper-Cherokee-A-P-and-Professional-Pilot-Owned-/111428269990?forcerrptr=true&hash=item19f1a477a6&item=111428269990&pt=Motors_Aircraft

Went up in my new (first) plane today!! Wow! she is a well cared for beauty and flew amazing! The old wing leveler even still works. I went up with my CFI as I have not flown a piper in about 9 years. There are two new cylinders that needed break-in so we just flew wide open for about an...

I finally got back in the air today after a hiatus of seven years. I recently joined the West Michigan Flying Club at KMKG and went flying with an excellent instructor in their (now, a part my) 1970 177B Cardinal. Awesome plane, and it felt great to be up again. Airwork went well. I haven't...
