Hi, I am building a new website for my aircraft ferry business. Included in the new site will be a "Frequently Asked Questions" page. The problem is that I cant really think of the all of the questions that owners may have so I am turning to the airplane owners on this board for your help...

Last week something happened that I would never wish upon anyone. I am writing this up with the hopes that those who fly among us get reminded of the importance of proper ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making). This unpleasant, dangerous experience was 100% preventable by the pilot. The...

THIS!

Hi Jaiden, I ferry planes globally for a living. For a single engine piston I would recommend a Cessna 206 or a Cessna 210. It will give you good performance when you have a ferry tank installed and is nice and roomy. Also if you don't have your instrument rating yet I would highly...

I wasn't familiar with how the T-72 HEAT shell looked like in flight. (To be honest, I never wanted to see one in flight, that would normally mean a bad thing was about to happen!) But after searching online I think that the shell in question could have been this one: The Israeli...

I was a tank gunner for the Israeli Army for three years and have shot my fair share of tank shells. That was most DEFINITELY NOT a tank shell. The "shell" actually looked more like a "TOW" anti-tank missile than a tank shell and was flying at the approximate speed of a "TOW" like missile as...

Yes I did, she started flight training with me and now, today we are celebrating our two year wedding anniversary!

We are trying to do our part at my flight school. We decided to paint a plane pink and a portion of the rental proceeds will be donated to a local hospitals breast cancer screening program!

Ive flown into to JFK three times in Cessna's. Do's: 1) Call in advance to coordinate your arrival. They will tell you when is the best time to show up 2) Study the taxi diagram BEFORE you go. JFK is a spiderweb of taxiways and you should be familiar with the location of the GA terminal...

I can vouch for the Holladays, if you have a plane you would be wise to lease it to them. Knowing them those birds are gonna fly from sunrise to sunset!

It is the default but in France, once you leave Paris airspace it seemed that I was the only pilot who they spoke english to. French definitely dominated the airwaves.

There will always be SOMEONE to remind me :wink2:

Hi All, I just came back from a 5 day ferry flight in a Cessna 207 from Maryland to Israel. This is my second farthest ferry flight and definitely my farthest in a piston plane. Here is the video of the flight: http://youtu.be/5ypvE-w8dOo Here is the link to the photo album of the trip...

This is one of landing a Cirrus SR20 (on a gravel strip!) that I ferried from Florida to Madrid two weeks ago in Kulusuk, Greenland. http://youtu.be/GzCY6_-FkUU

I am the Chief Pilot of a 141 school here in Maryland. I have recently hired (over the last few months) 4 CFIs that came out of the ATP pilot mill. They are good pilots and good people but with EACH of them I needed to "Un-Program" certain aspects of their training.
