Off the departure end of Rwy 05. Been into KDNL numerous times and there’s just no where to go off that rwy. Urban/suburban area with zero options.

I just upgraded my old SR22 with a pair of GI-275s and a GTX-345. I did a lot of training several years ago in a plane with G5s and I liked them, but the 275s are bigger, brighter, clearer and more capable. I sprung for the SynVis module and that's sorta cool....but mostly love being able to...

If I was your age I’d do it.

There’s old pilots and insured pilots but there’s no old insured pilots. :) sucks. Being 56 I’m not too far from that day. Plan on enjoying the journe.

Reminds me of the St Exupery quote “I fly because it frees my mind from the tyranny of petty things”

I don’t run my tanks dry because I fly a Cirrus and I’m afraid one of my passengers will pull the chute. :)

One of the most underrated fixed gear singles. I’m surprised more flight schools don’t use them with the spacious cockpit and 2 doors.

Tubes. Tubes are the best. :)

If you’re in S Ga that’s ideal. The guys at True Flight are great, in fact I’ll be helping my bro drop his Tiger there next week.

Ugh. Hate that. Like that Cafe though. It’s a nice short hop up from Greenville SC and it’s fun to poke around the museum for a few.

So hot yesterday in SC my iPad shut down in flight. First time that’s happened to me. and was flying up to Hickory to have lunch at the Cafe on the field and it was closed. Apparently they had the flu.

Further review shows the accident happened in the area circled in red. Looks like maybe a power line crosses there too but obscures by the NDB info box.

I think alot of planes are on the market just to see if they can get top dollar. I looked at an overpriced mid 70s Bonanza a few months back and came away thinking the seller had no interest in actually selling.
