    Which radio - Garmin GTR 225 or Icom A-220

    I just put a GTR225 in my 170 and love it. Highly recommend. Came from an old Narco mk12d.

    You definitely won't regret it.

    Tundra vs standard tires

    I have the 8.50 aero classics on my 170 and am based on pavement. They're 1.5 years old and tons of landings and still look great. Ditto another buddy that has a 120. They're a great tire.

    Want To Buy Buying a C-150 or the “best airplane one can afford”?

    I would recommend finishing the PPL especially if you're so close. There are a lot of "distractions" (even headaches) that suddenly come up when you own. I would not want to be in the position of owning/maintaining a bird while also trying to get my PPL over the finish line - especially if...

    How much will airplane prices drop in 2020?

    To be fair, I wouldn't call her Cub a "knockoff"...they're really nice. :D

    KAJO 152 off airport landing

    We probably have the same camera. Mine is waterproof as well. I'm curious to take a look with it as well, I've never thought of it.

    KAJO 152 off airport landing

    I have this borescope/inspection camera, and for the price it's amazing! This may be a dumb question, but can you stick it in the fuel tank area though to look around without risk of spark/fire/blowing up? I'm even leery looking around in there with a flashlight...

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    Geographically farther south, but same type of conditions delayed the start of Sunday's PGA round at Torrey Pines (golf course) by over two hours because the fog was too thick.

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    The helo was operated by Island Express. Pilot may be IFR rated, but was the operator approved to conduct IFR ops in the S76? I'd imagine so, but perhaps if it wasn't, it would be an additional pressure on the pilot to avoid going IFR. Interestingly enough, their website isn't available at...

    Corona, CA (AJO) 01/22/20

    Agreed on the AWOS at AJO. I used to be based at AJO. Taking off 25 is actually lower terrain until after 71 freeway (yes, there are the trees to the west though). Taking off 7 is uphill - the end of 7 is almost 20' lower than the end of 25. 25 is preferred in generally all conditions...
