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...

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...

I know Mooneys have a loyal following for good reason as they are great performing aircraft. It's a bit surprising that they have maintained a single passenger door through the many years of M20's through the Acclaim. I would think the focus on convenience and safety in higher-end GA aircraft...

Looking for a new route for my annual trip from Atlanta to Vegas in my non-turbo DA40. In a single, I try to stick close to interstates near higher elevations and rough terrain to have an out in emergencies. I’ve flown the I-10 southern border route through El Paso and Tuscon, the I-40 route...

Last night I had the most unbelievable and unique exchange on Facebook Messenger. I had just flown home to KLZU from KPNS, where I and two friends had just flown down for the day to watch the Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow. I crossed the KATL Bravo at 4500 feet, where I passed over this...

Here's a question for the engineers out there. I have tried many action cameras from GoPro, Sony, and Garmin mounted in different spots on my Diamond DA40. I've had mixed success with controlling them remotely from the cockpit. My latest acquisition is an Insta360 X3. Got a good deal on a...

A few recent posts about the Grand Canyon so I'll share my latest flight from May 2023 to Vegas via KGCN in my DA40. Video from every angle, including 5 Gopro and other action cameras, one a Gopro Max 360-degree cam mounted on the tail, my Sony Superzoom RX10 mirrorless, and iPhone...

A few threads recently on the Grand Canyon, thought I'd share my latest pass:

I've seen a few threads on PoA that mention you can't rent private aircraft in Iceland. Not true. We visit my wife's family in Iceland every couple of years and I've been fortunate to rent C172's several times on past trips. I've flown all around the western half of Iceland including the...
