I came across this site today and thought I'd pass it along. It uses ADS-B data to display a map of GPS interference around the world. From the FAQ, it sounds like they update it every 24 hours: https://gpsjam.org

I got married, and my wife has a large family she likes to visit often, but they are two and a half hours away. At the time, we also lived five minutes from a very nice, small GA airport. It was (and still is) a much more interesting, and sometimes quicker, way for us to get from point A to B...

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere above, but a followup on Louisiana Aviator said the oil filter backed out.

Fun place. We stayed there about 8 years ago, but didn't get to fly our plane in, but it's on my list. There was a Waco there at the time giving flights if I recall.

Solid guy all around, super knowledgeable and will be missed. I didn't realize that he was in his 90's.

Happy Bonanza owner here, but I might own a 310 (turbo?) if this was my mission. The V35 is perfect for my family of three (plus small dog), but even with the larger baggage area of the later Bonanzas, I pretty much fill it up with just the three of us.

My primary tablet is an ancient Nexus 7 with the iFly GPS app, although the app supports iOS, Android and Windows. My iPad has had a thermal shutdown in the plane, but I've never had a problem with my Nexus. I use both platforms though and I'm on the lookout for a good Android tablet that would...

Apparently Dan Gryder was involved in a forced landing today. You can fast forward to 6:30 or so to see him talking about it while walking out of a corn field:

He kind of glosses over the running out of fuel part in the videos, but he does readily admit it in the description on the one where he discusses it; certainly a nice outcome under pressure.
