    Airport options for GA into Philly

    Do not take regular cabs. Uber only. You've been warned. Pne is cheaper than phl to land at but a little further out. If sports are the interest then use phl. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Premier 1 bird strike.....

    Yep pretty sure you are talking about the one with the failed ejection seat and the two on board who didn't even have them. Terrible punching out knowing your passengers could not. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    One Dead, One Critical after Oshkosh Seaplane Base Crash

    That makes sense. Those little things were everywhere. The lake aircraft did look level at the dock for what it's worth. Those take off photos showing zero flaps might be more indicative of the get there itis that on face value this appears to be. Shame overall. Sent from my SM-G955U using...

    One Dead, One Critical after Oshkosh Seaplane Base Crash

    Yeah. Very bizarre overall. Having been around all kinds of airplanes and pilots and flying into the event myself it was simply strange. Here one minute and gone the next. I don't know how else to describe it. Oddly, the plane docked to the right of it also came in with a float very low in the...

    One Dead, One Critical after Oshkosh Seaplane Base Crash

    I was there right before this accident and photographed them getting into the plane. Here's the full picture. Trim was the same while parked. Honestly, it looks like a zero flap soft field takeoff result. The photos when he attempted to lift off show zero flaps. Sent from my SM-G955U using...

    Low cost airlines = bad idea

    Pure sarcasm on my point. Ryan air is well known for some of their stunts already. Wouldn't even put in flight fights past them if they can figure out how to charge for it. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    What caused this Cessna 310b to crash at my local airport?

    I think they call it get-there-itis. Sorry this hit so close to home for you. I know from a twin single engine out crash that happened here right at Christmas you are left with more questions than answers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments here for others to read...there's a lot...

    What caused this Cessna 310b to crash at my local airport?

    Thought it sounded like a vmc roll event. All the training in the world cant prepare you for everything however if your info is true i would have been hesitant to take off a second time without having things checked out on the ground. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk

    drones.. good or bad?

    How high is the least we should be worried about. I wish the idiots would all fly straight up. They keep them in sight that way and eat way more battery too. The WORST behavior I see on the drone pilot forums is "how FAR can I fly it?" Guys and gals, mine does 2-3 miles stock. I would never...

    drones.. good or bad?

    And as a private with who recently added part 107 to my license this is what I worry about most. I am very conscious of the rw traffic over my neighborhood and luckily can hear them coming in time to get out of the way. I know the local med crew and we've even talked about. Some of these other...

    What caused this Cessna 310b to crash at my local airport?

    In the piston driven world, the second engine often takes the plane to the scene of the accident. Vmc rolls are tough when truly unexpected. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
