Do NOT mess around with shingles. I had chemo and bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia, which wiped out my immune system. Before my system had recovered sufficiently to receive the shingles vaccine, I developed a shingles infection in a facial nerve. Facial paralysis (which eventually...

Just to emphasize what a previous response said, after you complete the MedXPress, print out a hard copy of the form. Save the confirmation number somewhere where you can find it. DO NOT give that number to the AME, or anyone in the office until the AME indicates that everything looks OK. If the...

Ask your question in the comments section of that video. Greg is great about answering questions that are posted.

LaSure's.... across the street and a little north of Friar Tuck's. Nothing fancy, just a tiny cafe with decent food. Good for breakfast.

Makes you wonder how much other stuff about flying they don't understand. I'll never forget the guy at an instrument refresher course I attended that SWORE controllers cancelled his IFR flight plan without him requesting "cancel IFR". I'd bet anything that what the controller said was "radar...

Didn't take long to find news stories that refer to "Washington Center Control Tower".

A little off topic, but if you're departing at the end of the airshow, have the airplane loaded up and pulled out into the row (as described above) shortly after the last act has completed. Listen to departure ATIS on a handheld radio if you have one. As soon as you hear the ATIS broadcast come...

Just curious.... when you contacted Tulsa Approach, did you tell them your filed departure point was PEJAY?

Yes. Touch the blue TFR circle, brings up the "radial" menu, touch "TFR" in the radial, brings up a list of one or more entries showing TFR ID (which is 4/3621 for all stadium TFRs), min and max altitudes, and from/to effective times. Tap on one of these entries, and the text of the 4/3621 NOTAM...

Just noticed yesterday that Garmin Pilot (Android) is no longer displaying EVERY stadium TFR all the time, but just showing those that will be effective in the near future (haven't figured out yet what the time period is). This is great, but one problem. It shows the effective TIME of the TFR...

Because of a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, my immune system had to start from scratch. Previous shingles vaccine was wiped out as a result, can't receive another vaccination until five years after transplant. Earlier this year, I got the shingles on a facial nerve. No external sores at...

""Hilton" is not one of the window signs listed in the NOTAM." Maybe so, but it told you exactly what you needed to know..... what would you have suggested as a better choice?

Don't forget membership card for EAA (although they can look it up for you) to get member pricing at admission gate.

It may be a long drive, but you might seriously consider checking airfare between Charlotte and Chicago, then making the drive to Peoria from there. Trust me, Dr. Bruce is worth the effort.

I've seen a paint job done by this shop at Miami County airport (K81)... looked pretty good. http://aircraftrefinishingco.com
