My wife is half Icelandic and I’ve been about 25 times over the past 35 years. Skip the Blue Lagoon. Highly overpriced tourist trap, it’s just runoff from the local thermoelectric plant. Definitely see Gullfoss, black beach at Vik, and Snaefellsness Peninsula. Dinner in Stykkisholmur Harbor is...

I have the same detector. It works great.

George - what does this response mean?

I've seen a couple of mentions on different forums about lightning not working correctly in FF. I sent the following to FF this morning, and their response follows. This is an incredibly important feature for FF that is broken. It would be extremely helpful if others on this forum also...

Or get an Inogen and don't worry about it ;-)

The actual flow is Inogen One Model : Available LPM Flow Rates Ranges Inogen One G3 : Pulse Dose: 1-5 Settings; 0.21 – 1.05 LPM Inogen One G4 : Pulse Dose: 1-3 Settings; 0.21 – 0.63 LPM Inogen One G5 : Pulse Dose: 1-6 Settings; 0.21 – 1.26 LPM As mentioned, these are pulsed, with the...

If you're looking for a traditional tank system, I loved my Aerox system while I used it. The oxy-saver cannulas let you set the flow rate wherever you want, but still save vs completely free-flow systems. But all tank systems share the frustration and expense of constantly refilling. A...

Had my game face on! Outside I look serious, inside I was ecstatic and doing cartwheels. Actually, I was a bit uncomfortable in the seat. As I am a shade under 6'5", they had to remove the seat cushion for me to fit in the aircraft. So I was sitting on only my parachute on a military metal...

Here is the link to the video on YouTube Video - Flying the P51 Mustang

Eclipse from 10,500

Insta360 X3 camera! I've done a lot of videos with standard GoPro's, Virb's, Sony ActionCams, iPhone's, etc. The Insta360 is really great to get the best shot and dramatically improves the quality of the video. I still mount GoPro's as well for fixed directional shots when flying to cool...

I think anyone can fly in the backseat, even non-pilots if you just want to ride. They ask for details about your flying experience by aircraft model, and they judge whether and how much they let you take the controls. While most of my experience is in 172's and my current DA40, I have taken a...

You could probably wear an ANR headset if you strapped it on (which is what I did in an Extra) but Lee mentioned the noise profile is not well-suited for them. It's tolerable with the ear buds and the helmet. I had to ask him to reposition his mic once or twice to hear him clearly. But...

$5500 for an hour of flight time/instruction, with about an hour of preflight briefing and the same in post flight debrief and video analysis. You might find some less than impressive low res videos for Stallion 51 on YouTube. They upgraded to full HD digital cameras about a year ago, so good...

Checked off another bucket list item this week! I've dreamed of flying a P51D Mustang since I was a little boy. I built many toy models and saved my allowance and babysitting money for months to buy a gas-powered remote-controlled P51 plane that I unfortunately crashed on its maiden flight :mad...

Using eclipse as a reason to go visit family. Flying Atlanta to Cincinnati, which does have a couple of minutes totality, but likely fly or drive to center of totality (likely southern Indiana or mid-Ohio) wherever we are confident of no cloud cover, Just ordered several versions of glasses...

Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this

Pick up Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane 11 and you can learn 75% of what you need to know about G430 or G1000 systems. The real systems have additional screens and features, but plugging in a basic flight plan, navigating to a destination, and flying your first instrument procedures can...

You definitely need to know how to do the planning and the math manually, but you should absolutely learn to use Foreflight as well from the beginning. EFB's provide so much more info in an intelligently concise fashion, which promotes much higher levels of situational awareness and safety...

I love flying the mountains on beautiful days, but I don't take chances when the winds are up or visibility is down. Diamonds are incredible to fly on smooth days, but a 39'6" wingspan and light wing loading makes them very uncomfortable in moderate turbulence. I'm definitely a fair-weather...
