    Smoketown (S37) Diner “Joni’s 340 Diner”

    Howdy, We flew there this morning for breakfast and I must say it was excellent. The food is delish, the portions are large, and staff are friendly. From the transient parking lot, walk EAST along the fence until you can turn right to walk up the hill. The diner is facing the street 100...

    JPI FS450 connection to Foreflight?

    Howdy! I did search to see if the topic existed but didn't see anything... Curious if an interface had been designed to link JPI FS450 data into Foreflight via bluetooth. I like the idea of having fuel references to navigation points and destinations but don't intend to purchase a handheld to...

    ForeFlight vs Garmin Pilot

    I just purchased (and received) the Stratus II from Sporty's and Foreflight so I'm looking real forward to putting it through its paces. I did a quick flight this past weekend but left my iPad in my motorcycle saddle bags so only had my iPhone to diddle with. I looks like it'll be a winner for...

    Pet Transport Opportunity (KHPN - KAOO)

    Howdy! Yep, still paragliding with pseudo ceiling fans on my back or running off the sides of mountains. It's very cool! Hopefully we'll find someone flying in that general direction that can assist. We'll see. Please tell the Mrs we said hello as well.

    Pet Transport Opportunity (KHPN - KAOO)

    Hey Ya'll - Long Time.... A "rescue" Pit Mix named Dodger (40 lbs) is in need of transport from Yonkers (WestChester Airport (KHPN)) to Altoona (KAOO). I sit almost in the middle of both (KPTW). I'd do the whole thing but it would be an approximate 450 nm round trip. No doubt, the pup...

    Wifi network drive?

    I'm going to look into the DIY option. I've a little IT experience so I may wire it up and blow the lights, but it should work. In the interim, I decided to go out and get a 500 GB MacBook Pro 17 to hold me over for a little while. Now I just gotta learn how to operate a MAC, never had one...

    Wifi network drive?

    Thanks for the ideas... sorry my initial text was a little muddy.. 1. What I'm wanting to do is plug this hard drive into a power outlet and turn it on. 2. Connect it to my network (preferably wirelessly). 3. Access it from my other devices I video the majority of my Flights (Airplane and...

    Wifi network drive?

    Hoping Santa Claus will bring me a wifi network storage device (1 or 2 TB harddrive type) but not sure what to tell the wife to tell Santa I want. What I'm looking for is something I can connect (wirelessly) to my home network and access it from any of my computer type gadgets (pc, Mac...

    Powered Paragliding (PPG) Lessons In Progress

    LOL, THanks! :thumbsup: Still have a LOT to learn about soaring and thermals before I'm confident enough to try a glider. In the paraglider (or PPG for that matter), engine outs and off-field landings are (should be) at most and inconveneince and not an emergency scenario. I figure I'd get...

    Powered Paragliding (PPG) Lessons In Progress

    Thanks Tony, Steingar, and Miss Kimberly, I'm truly loving this type of flying in addition to flying the Viking Witch (N8388W). I just got back from Denver a few weeks ago, where I took vacation before and after a work committment and was able to get in some free (motorless) flying off the...

    Powered Paragliding (PPG) Lessons In Progress

    Is there an Admin in the house? Rated now in PPG (Powered Paragliding) and PG (Paragliding) and have a bunch of friends that pilot these who also enjoy chatting about it, as we do here with our fixed winged aircraft. If there is an interest among the PPG pilots, is it possible to create...
