I had a great experience at EYE as well.

I have a good friend that just finished vet school and went to Cornell. I went to Michigan State and know they have a large vet presence. My friend applied there but I think she said it's even harder to get accepted there than Cornell.

Try Great Lakes AirVentures in Mason, MI. Easy drive or flight from Chicago. I'll second Tom in TC but I didn't use either for my ME so I can't help with a review. I'm looking to get back into flying at Great Lakes . http://greatlakesairventures.com/

I flew into HPN a few years back and did the metro north connection to the subway - staying in Chelsea. Someone from the FBO took us to the train station. I didn't take on much fuel but did have them fill up and they waived the fees for parking the few days we were there. However, I don't...

Do it in two parts? Math. . . P03>DUG+DUG>TOC = Total You would know distance to DUG (8 Miles), you know how fast you climb (70 or 75kts for best rate IIRC?) and with that you can find fuel. Then do the rest starting from there? Wind is the variable on your groundspeed in a course change. How...

That is a funny one.

I have had a motorola DOCSIS3.0 modem purchased from best buy (price matched to online because I could get it that night/activated over the phone) running for the previous 4 years or so non-stop. I think I have power cycled it twice. However, my "business" modem from comcast at the condo complex...

I liked HPN a few years ago. Easy commute on the train and the FBO dropped us at the station.

We just spent 5 days on Maui and this makes me even more bummed that I didn't go flying. . . Is that Hana airport at the end?

I do not recall any of our insurance specifics. Sorry. It was a great plane though! Enjoy.

However, Garmin likes to kill brands and get rid of superior products so get excited for the update!

Meyers is one of my dream planes. I'd love to see one in person - flying it would be a great idea too.

I switched to the Best IFR hood midway through my instrument training because I didn't think the foggles made sense and didn't fit well. The first day I wore it, I can't remember what maneuver I was doing (steep turns?) but I became disorientated, heard my flight instructor laughing and...

They're going to a new continent.

From my quick planning, adding ~135nm to avoid the lake? I know you must enjoy flying as we all do but I don't personally understand that especially on a trip that is already fairly long in a 172. Have fun. You'll get some cool pictures up there along the shore.
