Awesome, thank you!

Ahhh thanks Tony. I wish I had seen this earlier; appreciate the offer! I was in the area last Saturday and drove by the airport, hoping to catch a glimpse. I may do an intro ride with them soon, just to get a feel for it & glad to hear it's back up and running well. I have only heard good...

I've enjoyed tracking you guys fly 520AT out of Brainard, on FlightAware ... considering training with them since I'm having issues with my medical. You like the school? I'm in Trumbull so it's a bit of a hike, but our only option for LSA/SP as you know

A friend of our family, Mary Ellen Pender (54), was killed on the ground. She had stayed behind at a friend's place to help clean up after a day of golf, the kind person that she was. RIP

To be delightfully surprised by the FAA ... this is new to me! when I read the news yesterday I had to pinch myself. Kudos to the folks who helped make this happen. Let's hope it makes it all the way through relatively unchanged!

Check out the Arion Lightning ... sweet planes. Altho' I also drool over the Magnus.

I believe, as has been said, that so long as an AME has not uploaded the application # to the FAA, the individual should be ok to edit. Under the current system, though, I concur that many young CFIs who are themselves focused on building time to move up to airlines, do not understand the...

just listen to Dr. Bruce.

Thank you Nub_Pilot! I really haven't flown much in GA planes, just a couple hours in 172 and Piper PA-28, so i haven't really gotten "used" to anything yet. The place where I had begun stressed getting the medical stuff sorted early-on, which I'm thankful for. The Pipistrel looks like a little...

Dana, thank you! appreciate you chiming in ... doing a little research now for Chester - is that with Chester Taildraggers? Glad to know that's an option.

Hi Jeremy & Tony ... I realize this is a very old thread, but an easy way (maybe) to connect with both of you. I started PPL training at Bridgeport CT KBDR, but have realized that I will have trouble getting a 3rd Class Med ... ergo, my interest in Sport Pilot. I was extremely frustrated at...
