Have a buddy that flies a seaplane in the Austin TX area and the same thing happens to him and police reports. I don't blame people as it's seems like a crash for non-aviation folks. Buddy now calls the Sheriff and gives them his landing areas so they can be aware. I'm envious regarding your...

I keep a sharp eye out for golf courses in bravo airspace. They seem like a natural go-to versus congested roads if an airport can't be made. I fly into the Dallas airspace single engine regularly and engine out options are sketchy.

The rugged terrain backpack with trauma kit is around 30 pounds. I use the swiss army bladder for ballast in my 182 and drain it as needed. I'm in central Texas, but do fly to west TX and doing some NM & AZ trips.

I went down a rabbit hole. I'm somewhat embarrassed to share this list as it's somewhat long, but am going to trust the POA team to not flame me or the list. The things kept in the plane 365 days a year including a trauma medical kit (chest seal, QuikClot, tourniquet, etc.), 5 gallon water...

I was just filling out the Insight G2 order form and read your comment "non-functional". Please let me know your experience. I like the JPI presentation, but not the 730 form factor. Just doesn't fit cleanly. thanks.

Those boys eat, but not a pot belly between them. I bet they'd be willing to give it a shot.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

That is very good to know. Thanks.

Aggie Mike - will do. You can call me Aggie Rob '91. We'd have lots to commiserate over.

I do business with SpaceX and I'm trying to wrangle an up close ticket. Great idea to do with the boys.

I've had my eye on this to go with the wife. She's all in.

I like the NM destinations. Will give them a look. Thanks.

That's the plan - have 4-5 places to go then go where the weather allows. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm starting to plan a 7 night trip across Texas (8 days) with my 2 sons (ages 16 & 23). I'll do this in my 182 during spring break. I'm looking for recommendations for places with camping, hiking, fly-in hotels, museums - basically looking for anything interesting to do to spend time with my...

Mistakes happen every day, but there was zero reason to lie 2X. Every pilot has the obligation to the aviation community to be as safe as possible. His lack of preparation and not listening to ATIS could get him or someone else hurt/killed. Scenario that come to mind: runway closed for...
