    Wherever you fly, take a WingTent!

    I have given this quite a bit of thought actually. Already without the floor, there is a lot of fabric involved, that add both weight and bulk. Adding a floor would be a serious amount of fabric. And while we call this a tent, it is primarily meant to be a place where pilots can escape from...

    How to get around at my destination?

    I've got 260 hours of flying under my belt, mostly just me flying. Now I want to start flying with my family (wife and two daughters age 2 and 4) to fun destinations. I've come up with several fun ones, but am looking for advice on how others have done this successfully. Do you rent a car to...
