Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I've never used Uber before and I've heard some horror stories, but I'll give it a shot if I have to. Thanks for your reply.

Ohhhh, yes, cowman. I remember now reading something about that. Might have to learn how to use Uber on the fly, so to speak. Thanks.

Has anyone had experience obtaining a rental car at Dona Ana/Santa Teresa NM? I'm using Francis Aviation. Recomendations, please. Thank you.

Yeah, that kinda rubs me wrong as well. They want me to pre-order, but I'm not going to do any ordering until there's a product. And, they indicate my pre-order will secure my position in line, but how can this be when I see some folks are able to obtain the wingtip version from some suppliers...

Thanks. Might need the good wishes. I remember hearing about crash when it happened but didn't know the where and how at the time. Didn't connect it in my mind with McComb until you mentioned it here.

Thanks! That looks like a great place to eat! If I can arrange a ride (or rental) I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for the weather info. Figured it would be pretty much the same for McComb as it was for Chattanooga last year. I'm departing from 1N1, Sandia Airpark, a little east of Albuquerque. Guess it'll have to be at oh dark thiry to be in Mississippi shortly after noon. That may limit my...

You guys gave me a ton of good info last year for what turned out to be a very successful flight to Collegedale, TN. I need to take another trip to that part of the world this year, MCB, the second week of May. Never been there and so would appreciate any information about what to expect...

Had the seat out of the plane 5 minutes after those two screws were removed. Thanks for the info. Now that I'm able to see the condition of the cushion, the only problem appears to be that the adhesive holding it to the frame and web fabric has dried out and let go. What's the preferred...

Of course, it HAD to be something so embarrassingly simple. Thank you!

I need to get the passenger seat out of my 235 to redo the cushion web which has torn in one of the corners. I once helped the former owner in an owner-assisted annual, but I didn't help him remove the front seats. So, how do I get that front seat out of the aircraft, please? I read somewhere...

Thought I'd report on what turned out to be a memorable trip back on 26 May. We left 1N1 (Sandia Airpark, NM) at 0600 MDT and flew at mostly 9500k, with 2 fuel (and 2 additional nature stops) past AMA (Amarillo, TX), OJA (Weatherford, OK), CCA (Clinton, AR), M04 (Covington, TN and finally, FGU...

Yeah, that's what I've been seeing in the forecasting tools -- 85% cloud cover, 65% likelihood of showers -- and exactly during the time frame I'm expecting to arrive!!! If we can stand the bumps and gyrations around and behind storms, we MIGHT be able to reach the destination "safely"...

There's supposed to be a "drying trend" in the weather over there in Middle Tennessee, just in time for our x-country from New Mexico to Collegdale on Saturday. However, I still expect to have an "adventurous" time with storm avoidance along the way. Even though we'll leave before dawn, we'll...
