Ok, I'll play the dumb guy. What does that mean?

I used to have a couple of recurring dreams about flying. It was long before I ever even thought about being a pilot. One I was always flying a small plane at high altitude and the sky was criss-crossed by wires everywhere. In the other I am an airline pilot landing at an airport that is built...

We will be coming up from Texas. Going to Fenway for baseball games. I think OWD might be best. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the tips!

We might be taking a trip up to Boston in August or September. What are the best airport options for 3-4 day stay for a Bonanza around the greater Boston area?

Sad indeed. This was a new owner at the first fuel stop on the way home with it. Guy who sold it spent several years and a bunch of money getting the skywagon fixed up.

Thanks for the insights. A lower asking price than comparable airframes is what made us consider it but I think we'll probably pass on it and keep looking.

What are the drawbacks of purchasing a plane with a non-waas G1000? Would training for IFR rating be compromised any with non-waas? How about selling the plane another 5-10 years down the line?Would the non-waas G1000 be obsolete? From what I've been able to gather online about...

I can speak to the T206 and Van Bortel as well. I've been flying a 2009 T206H since May of this year. It's a beast for sure but a thirsty beast. I get TAS of 135-138 at 6000'-8000' and 140-145 at 10000'-12000. Get up higher to really take advantage of the turbo and you can get 160+. That is...

I like the sound of this. Thanks.

I would like to put a security camera inside or outside of our hangar. We have electricity but no phone/wifi. Has anyone used or can recommend a cellular security camera?

206 has fixed gear and wing struts, 210 has retractable gear and no wing strut (after 1966)

Yes, this discussion has helped a lot. Thanks to everyone that has contributed.

I've heard it a lot and I get the general sentiment of the statement but don't know that I could really explain what it means. Is it that things are happening faster than you can react to/notice? Or maybe being overwhelmed by lots of stuff happening at once? How would one recognize that it was...

I spent half my money on avgas, Porsches, and wild women...the rest I just wasted. edit: sp
