The Fray played last year (2020's performer has yet to be announced), and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. They put on a good show and had a good time with the flyby's and the crowd. We were there Sat-Th last year and thought it was awesome! Two free days to go look at everyone else's...

My wife is very sensitive to clamping pressure, as she gets headaches easily. She loves flying with me. So I had to do something. Lol

We bought the Halo's for my wife. She loves them and they are a huge improvement over the avcoms.

Well, we are based at nearby DPA (I live close to DKB and thought it was more convenient last year), so we left for OSH at 0600 Sat am and arrived at OSH by 0715 with NO traffic to contend with...although that meant we didnt miss 2 rounds of storms on Saturday, either. Lol

Did anyone else feel as though the fly-overs dragged on during the airshow for too long? I was listening one day to the air boss, and some of the performers were being rushed and seemed frustrated while the fly overs went on for a while. My wife and I love the mass fly overs, but it went on for...

Near DPA in St. Charles IL, I can get one for $191 all in from Enterprise Saturday thru Thursday for a compact. As mentioned above, try the neighborhood locations nearby.

Yeah, I guess you have a point there!

After talking with one of our volunteer controllers, it sounds like they are not gonna wait for the holds to saturate. As soon as the airport closes for any reason, everyone gets diverted to FLD, per the notam. Once the airport opens again, airplanes will be told to depart and head straight to...

These numbers are still PRELIMINARY. We haven't had a chance to firm up the numbers based upon operation. We are potentially looking at $175/hr wet to cover the engine replacement fund.

I made exactly the same mistake. Haha!

We discussed the C182 , but the members voted on wanting something more modern, and we couldn't touch a modern 182 for the price. Another 172 was not out of the question either, but the club wanted a cross country airplane with a little more speed. The bonanza got voted down, again. It's an...

It is my understanding that the airplane will go for around $155/hr wet. Not too shabby for an SR20...

If you're interested, the treasurer has more info than I do at this point regarding the finances behind the new airplane. Yes, this is the first time we've purchased something since, and I think the board has done a great job assessing the need for a 4th airplane based upon not only our...

The beauty of our system is that we can schedule online, in advance. This also comes in handy because you're only allowed 3 schedule blocks at a time, which prevents people from monopolizing and cancelling last minute. If you're planning a trip a few weeks away, theres usually no issue. We also...

What kinda jets do you speak of? We are also very excited!
