What a great day it’s been here in the U.K. the nation and visitors from all over the world welcome a new royal couple, the sun is shining, the bbq is hot, the beer is cold....all is well in the world for a few hours God save the Queen

Had a great time at Sun n Fun, looked pretty well supported but we’ve seen it busier. Lots of guys began to leave on Saturday to beat the bad weather coming through on Sunday. And it was the right call to close the event at lunch time on Sunday. Had one little incident which made my wife and me...

Yep just watched it the other day, Alastair Sim suited the Scrooge role perfectly.

Wherever there is a TV camera Sheriff Judd won’t be far behind ... Bartow is my local field, I’m currently over in the UK but talking to a CFI buddy yesterday who instructs out of Bartow there is a lot of speculation has to what caused the tragedy but little facts are actually known yet...

I'm old school ...I still like to call and speak to the nice man ...:)

Personally I always do a full preflight using the check sheet, even after a short hop for a $100 hamburger run ill go through the routine again before launching for the return trip home. Maybe because I'm still a newbie I edge more on the cautious side than I need too be, but its a habit I'm...

That's not a runway....that's a sidewalk....:rofl: Looks fun for precision landing training though, well done and thanks for sharing

That's a very opinionated posting. As it happens I'm not 14, Nor am I a gay flight attendant, I'm 64 yrs old and active on FB, I keep in touch with family members living some 4000 miles away, I have also re-connected with lost friends of over 20 yrs ago, who without the social media world we...

Cedar Key is a great place to drop in for lunch, only a 2000ft runway to play with, so needs a bit of care when gusts coming in off the Gulf. Call your pattern approach and Judy the local taxi driver will call you back and ask if you need a ride into town.. Made our first trip there in...

I have to say Jeff, this summer has seen a lot of weather fronts moving through the state, more so than the normal summer pattern of fly early and get back down by lunch, I was in Florida from late June until last week and many days no flying at all. I have CFI friends who told me their...

This photo was posted over on another board.. The arrow points to the Pine trees the plane took the tops off, the impact point on the hill is said to be some 500yrds beyond the trees.

Well ticked another box off my places to visit in Florida after getting a low pass approval over the Shuttle Landing Facility. NASA tower guy was very helpful..gave me clearance for minimum 100ft pass and kept me safe with a watchful eye on Helicopter Traffic around Kennedy Space Centre.

Congratulations ....I know exactly how you feel having passed my check ride last year... don't worry the goofy fixed grin will start to ease off in a few days....:D

Well I can tell you these days with our almost open border policy on immigration into the UK ...in a couple of generations English will be considered a foreign language ..:confused:

Actually Sir, here in good old England the land where we speak the Queens English....that is the correct way we spell it in the term used in my posting descriptive...;) My apologies to the OP, we are diverting from the thread topic which is plain for anyone to see..:rolleyes:

Been trying to do that for 44 yrs....no takers...:dunno: We even moved house once when he was away at college...but he tracked us down...:lol: Seriously he is a great guy who would stop a bullet for me or his mom, he followed me into auto racing for a career and has no fear behind the...

Enjoy the experience of flying with your Son.I am envious of you, my 44 yr old Son is totally against my flying activities, he believes all small aircraft are always just minutes from falling out of the sky...He reluctantly flys commercial if he needs to get somewhere, but the slightest bit of...

I had just one CFI for all my PP training, he wasn't freelance and worked full time for the flight school, their cost to me for his services was $60hr. Never asked what his cut was but I'm sure it wasn't anything close to the $60. Anyway's he did a fine job for me, as a mature student (63 at...

40+ year career in driving top spec Rally cars all over Europe and Africa,Asia, it all meant nothing when it came to my flight training, I took 70hrs before I felt confident and safe and my CFI decided I was ready for my check ride. I got lucky, whole training with one CFI who I listened to...
