    What are the required steps to flying from US to Canada?

    Thank you all for the info. Yes already have the CBP sticker for 2021. Will brush up on the steps and can't wait until this COVID thing is over.

    Owning a plane and belonging to a flight club

    Both my airplane partner and I were members of the local flight schools. Once we've bought our plane, we haven't looked back. Unless the club/flight school offers a plane that yours can't do: i.e. single vs multi or 2 vs 4 seats, etc, IMHO I don't see the reason.

    NY to FL with a low pass over NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility

    thanks pal! I thought it was gonna be hard, but Orlando Approach was so easy to work with.

    flashlights for cockpit

    +1 on Smith & Wesson flashlight. Had mine dropped, kicked, left in freezing cold for 1 week...7 years later still works like a champ.

    What are the required steps to flying from US to Canada?

    Once our neighbor in the north opens up its border, I would like to take a trip from NY to Quebec. Looking for advice on the steps required (eAPIS, clearing custom etc). Any website that I can read up on this would be great. TIA!

    Time to get plastic card

    Apparently every time you check, it gets pushed back by 3 days automatically. ;) Btw, congrats!

    NY to FL with a low pass over NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility

    I flew my family on a long x-country from NY to FL recently. It was the first time with them on board so I asked a CFI friend to tag long. Other than dodging a few cumulous clouds after our stop in Myrtle Beach, the trip was uneventful. I remember reading on this forum that you can do a low...

    Finally picked up a new plane.

    Well, you are a connoisseur…I’m that idiot that buys the newest with little imagination.

    I ain't quitting my day job that's for sure. No one is gonna pay me to watch my crappy videos...lol. ...but my bladder has diminished endurance with age.

    Love Knoxville! Great town and nice people. Cirrus opened its Vision Center in 2017 and it's a very impressive campus. Thanks pal! I'm not a professional - just do this for fun and laughs. Editing wasn't too bad took about a week or so.

    Finally picked up a new plane.

    we bought the N number off someone else. 888 is a lucky number in Chinese culture and "FU" phonetically means luck or prosperity hence the tail number. We are actually pretty popular amongst the ATC guys in the NY area...lol. Of course if we f-up, they'll remember us, too.

    Does Mike Busch have this one right?

    I did the math once and quickly realized ignorance is a bliss...financially it makes little sense for us (I have a partner) to own. If we didn't have a 5 year warranty from the factory, I doubt 3x would be enough to cover the MX.
