    Headed to Nashville

    We went in May and liked it so much we went back this month. Tune is easy in and out..Uber's very. In May it was $56, August $98. We are already looking forward to going back again.

    Thinking about - err bought - a Moto Guzzi V7 Racer

    I have a soft spot for the V7....someday I will have a Guzzi in the stable. For now, I am still obsessed with my Italian mistress (MV).

    NA thinking about a Scout

    I have a 77 Scout and it’s my daily driver in the summer. It’s the closest thing to riding a motorcycle with the soft top opened up. Love it.

    Kauai to Oahu

    I big shout out for Wings over Kauai! Bruce was great. I ended up flying HA to see the band at Pearl Harbor, a long but great day. Today was flying the 172 around Kauai with Bruce. Instead of trying to type after a few pineapple drinks with a lot of vitamin V, I will post a few pics from todays...

    Chicago to Keys

    I did that trip from 3CK a few years ago in my Cheetah. I had a few stops on the way down to see family but did the return trip in one day due to weather. It was all dandy on the return until we passed Nashville where my wife thought she was spending the night....The AA5A had long legs, we made...

    Flying as a business tool

    Ditto above. I cover a few states in the midwest and regularly fly to see customers. It's saves a lot of time when the weather cooperates. Just don't put yourself in a bad situation trying to get there or home. Always leave a back up mode of transport and leave the plane if you have to.

    Kauai to Oahu

    The wife and I are going to Kauai in March and one of our sons will be on a band trip playing at Pearl Harbor on one of the days. My plan is to rent a plane and fly over for the day. I rented a 172 in Maui a few years ago and it was great. Does anyone have any experience with Kauai rentals or...

    What is the general state of GA?

    It's not just GA. Motorcycles are also on the decline. A lot of younger folks just can't accept ANY risk with hobbies. Fortnight is pretty safe....besides the brain melting.

    The bolts that hold our wings on.

    Actually those bolts need to be inspected I think every 500hrs. From what I remember on my Cheetah the inspection made you change the bolts with new ones. There is much debate as to the interpretation of the AD for those bolts. Refer to the Grumman Gang to muddy the waters further....

    182 down in Wisconsin

    Weather was crap all day Sunday. A fire on the best day would be bad let alone hard IFR. RIP

    Garmin GTN750 Comm Issue and GPS Lost Signal

    Sounds like the same issue I had on my 650. Press and hold the home button on start up. Once in the setup adjust the Com sidetone down to around 45db. For some reason they ship at the max level.
