I just moved away from IL. Before ending up in the desert I was looking in WI. Lake Geneva Aire Estates would be a neat place to live. I really hope I never have to return to IL. I thought learning to fly in southern WI was great. Constantly changing weather. Plenty of towered and...

I drove half way across the country and back with a friend in his base model 2015 Colorado (four cylinder 2wd). It was packed to the gills with two dirt bikes and all sorts of gear. The truck was reasonably comfortable and got decent mileage. It is not a powerhouse but is adequate. The...

We replaced our rented modem with a purchased modem about a year ago. We installed it and called to have them update their system so it would work. It was great for a week then stopped working. Ultimately a tech came out and discovered everything was fine but the girl on the phone did not...

I never had a problem on a commercial flight but at first during training I would start to feel lousy. I probably made it 30 minutes on my first flight. The first few flights my instructor would check with me and make sure I was feeling okay. When I told him I wasn't feeling great we headed...

According to airnav the runway length is 4007ft. Is this enough runway for this airplane to get back in the air?
