    GA in South Florida

    I've been based at KHWO (Hollywood), F45 (North County, Palm Beach) and KLNA (Lantana- just south of Palm Beach.) Out of the three, I prefer KLNA. Three runways, and the FBO Stellar Aviation, who are very friendly to GA, and who rented me a no-lease community hangar for a very competitive price...

    Florida flight training and living.....?

    Another thing to consider-- cost of living is much less in central FL (Orlando, etc) and Gulf Coast FL (Naples, Ft Myers) than it is in S FL (Palm Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami.) Since returning to S FL after a few years in North Carolina, I was shocked by the hangar rents (I pay...

    Considering Grumman Tiger - Grass Strip

    Never landed mine on turf but other than that, love its economy and sporty feel. You can't go wrong with a Tiger.

    Our new normal :(

    Wrist slaps or worse? 12 Pilots bust the presidential TFR. http://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-nation/2017/02/21/Feds-say-at-least-12-aircraft-violated-restrictions-during-Trump-s-Florida-visit/stories/201702210102

    Another airport closing - 4J6 - St Mary's

    Sad to hear-- I recently had to put down there due to a sudden weather event, and the gentleman running the place treated me like a VIP. Took me to lunch, helped me find a hotel for the night, and picked me up the following morning after the weather cleared. I've never experienced that level of...

    2nd weekend in a row TFRd by Trump :(

    I'm based at F45 (North Palm Beach County) and finding my flight plans flummoxed thanks to the Mars a Lago, the "Winter White House." These little vacays the President indulges in are cutting a serious swath through GA in our area. LNA, a bustling non-towered field, is in the no-fly zone and is...

    Hangar Situation in South Florida?

    I feel your pain! My Tiger is currently hangared at F45. Finding a hangar in S FL is ridiculous-- when we moved back to FL from NC, my hubby and personally visited LNA, where we've landed many times on trips from NC, PMP, where my husband went to flight school, BCT, which is 15 minutes from our...

    Meet my new airplane!

    You will love it! I've had my 1979 Tiger for almost 4 years now, and it's been fun and reliable. I have the GTN 650 and an Aspen, which really elevate the utility and safety for this pilot! Have fun!! FlyGirl in her 4527N!
