:yeahthat: that is what it has to be... and multiple checks... GUMPS check to start, call out 3 green, Fence check {Green (Landing gear down), Red (Mixture), Blue (prop)) as you cross the Airport fence line or runway threshold. Whatever you do, it becomes regimented, repeated EVERY time. Add...

That is who I was trying to remember! Thank you

I'm trying to remember a FL school's name that I remember reading on here for accelerated training. The husband was the instructor and the wife was the examiner if I remember correctly. Bottom line I have dragged my IFR training out and I'm freakin tired of it. I technically have all the...

Please don't take this the wrong way because I hope you get every penny for it, but professionally apraised and what it will actually sell for in this market are 2 totally different things.

That is accurate, flew friends there about a month ago for dinner and the ramp fee was a surprise... Kinda ****ed about it but my date was hot so I stayed cool ;)

PA24-250 Comanche, keep it in one of the large corporate hangars (2nd one from the road across from the blue hangars). PS... I can help make sure that RV7 doesn't just sit while you are away on business LOL Andy

The problem is that he says he isn't getting enough business... He said that they lost their Federal funding last year and he has been fighting to keep the airport from being closed and bulldozed. Said there was some time last year that a meeting was going to happen about the airport and he put...

Flew down to Jekyll today just to get away from the stupid thunderstorm cycle around the Atlanta area that we have had for a week or so. Nice flight that included a KC-135 flying close to us on an approach to Robbins AFB (really cool when he reports seeing my LED landing lights from a long way...

so long story short.... need to pull and send it to a shop ultimately?
