Thanks everyone for the great insights, feedback and thought-provoking questions. I think I'll pass on this specific AC for now...

Hi all, I'm looking at acquiring a 1998 172SP (TT:3500 SMOH: 1490) for my IFR training and have identified some potential issues. Wanted to get your thoughts on them and see if anyone had any insights into pricing considerations. Accident: The plane was in an accident last year. Pilot left...

I'd love to hit 6Y9 but I can't find a stupid plane. Tailwinds at KSUE is now saying they don't have a CFI to do the check-out and maybe they can get someone to come up from KGRB. Not holding my breath. I told them I'm current in the exact same plane but I'm sure it's an insurance thing...

Would love to but a little intimidated by my first actual turf landing. I suppose I could do it at 3D2 and if all goes well, head up to Washington Island.

We're coming up for labor day weekend and would love to go flying out of KSUE or 3D2. I tried to get ahold of Tailwinds at Sturgeon Bay to rent a 172 but haven't had much luck there. Best, Tyler

Hi all, Thanks again for the great responses so far. I'm going to close the survey tomorrow so if you haven't yet taken the 5 minutes to add your thoughts, I'd really appreciate it if you did! I'll be sure to share the top-line findings with the group once I've analyzed. Best, Tyler

For those of you who may have been at Oshkosh for the past week, we've been having a lively discussion in the "Cool airports" forum on what makes a general aviation great. If you have a second, take a look at the discussion and I'd really appreciate you providing your thoughts via a quick survey...

Planning a XC to area where I didn't do much training and looking to use Flight Following (which I also didn't do much of during my training), think I know the process but for those who's gone through this busy airspace, was hoping I could gut-check with you experts: -Heading from KCDW...

Thanks everyone for the great insights and the example Web sites -- we'll definitely pull from what's already working well at other airports. I just wanted to bump this one more time for folks returning from Oshkosh -- it would be great if we could get a couple more responses before closing the...

Thanks all -- this is great feedback, especially the lack of MoGas availability. Keep it coming -- if you haven't yet taken the survey, please do! It'll only take a few minutes and is really helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a graduate school project with a developer who is building, from the ground up, a new general aviation airport in the mid-atlantic/Northeast US region. It's being built by pilots for pilots, so we'd love to get your thoughts on how you decide where to base your...

We used to request this on downwind when practicing simulated engine outs -- we'd turn base pretty quickly past abeam the numbers

Thanks -- the fly ins look like a nice relaxing way to introduce the wife to short hops and the NE Pilots Group might be good to hook up with to share ideas and stories. I'll look into Block Island -- I'm definitely up for going through the Bravo just want to do it (and the Hudson River VFR...

Hi everyone, Been lurking around the training board for about two years but finally got my PPL and now looking to put it to use. Before I dive headfirst, I thought I'd see if there's anyone around the area (I've been flying out of KCDW - Caldwell, NJ -- and planning to rent from Century Air)...

Of course -- I can't wait to put it to use. Whether life will let me do so is anyone's guess. My first thing is to get the wife up with my instructor for a couple hours of orientation time so that she knows what everything does in case something happens to me. Once she's comfortable with...
