For those with experience flying to the Kentucky Derby, wondering if you could provide some advice. I’m planning on arriving into KLOU around 14:30 tomorrow, May 3rd from DC area. Would you recommend going VFR or IFR in order to expedite entry and landing. Unsure what is preferred. This is...

Both are good options and definitely something to be said about having an airport 20 mins away. Plane and instructor availability is going to be better at WIFA but a club is a great way to build relationships and friendships with a pilot community. Expect a longer training timeline in a club...

So out of curiosity - anyone cheat the tables by flying under 1000 msl on the same day of the dive? Wondered about that and island hopping.

I took a sightseeing flight with a CFI for an hour out of St Thomas a few years ago. I think it was at Ace Flight Center. I had reached out to them directly. But maybe doable.

I flew into KOWD for meetings downtown this summer. It was a $36 UberX ride from there to downtown (non-rush hour times) and took 31 minutes.

I recently had an issue with a lightly used GoPro where I took it snorkeling for the first time. The waterproof case leaked and destroyed the camera. The company refused to replace or offer any sort of options for fixing. I asked for a manager to contact me and never heard back. Considering it...

I got 100%. But not sure if I did it in three minutes between closing ads and the really annoying page load times.

It was a SR22

I finally upgraded to the new OS with the purchase of the iphone 5. I already miss Google Maps as the native mapping app. Seems like a fence around the runway might be appropriate - to keep the moose out at least.

The ~10 instructors in our club charge normal rates of $40-50/hr for formal instruction. Sometimes they will offer up opportunities to split trips or angel flights with free instruction. Always free instruction on shared trips. Sometimes safety pilot for free. But I think if you are doing a...

I'm guessing this is a troll. If not - please upload a link to the audio of that tape for our entertainment.

Did you have any dogs with you at the Hutton?

Thanks for the tips! CLT would be nice to cross off the list, but not sure if it is practical on this trip. Talked to the people at Wilson though and they seemed fantastic. Both the AC and autoland are inop in the 182RG, so will certainly appreciate the break in weather. Andrew

Ted - I am slightly impartial because we get reimbursed for fuel and I am only taking on 15 gallons. I emailed both and Atlantic at BNA got back to me sooner and parking fees were slightly less expensive at BNA. Any idea which one will typically be easier to get in/out of IFR? A more direct...
