anyone has been to Mount Desert BHB? I think there are even some camping places around.

Hey, I'm planning to go up to Maine from NYC for the long Memorial Holiday weekend. Leaving late Friday afternoon from FRG and returning on Monday evening in a C172. Never been to Maine and also need the xcountry trip for my commercial, so I thought it is a good idea. Was thinking about 0B1...

I checked already the flying schools but they all seem to be based in Kingston.

I will be for a longer weekend in Negril / Montego Bay and I would like to do a sightseeing flight. Are there any operators / private persons there who are offering a ride in a C172 or PA28, I don't mind to take a safety pilot / instructor or fly as a passenger. I know there are some charters...

thanks very much for the info and tips. Will give Chandler a call tomorrow. Tony: I actually did a flight around Oahu 2010 with a CFI was good fun. Rental at Chandler seems to be much cheaper what I'm used to but instruction rates are a bit steeper than on the East Coast, so maybe I do a...

why can't they provide me a rental Cessna with a CFI, I guess I just need a safety pilot, since I'm current and rated on a C172? Or do I have to declare that as a checkout flight? M

Hi, my wife and I are on a road trip and the next stop is south of Phoenix / AZ (Eloy). Does anyone has a recommendation for a place where we could book a Cessna and an instructor for a sightseeing flying over the Grand Canyon for a day? cheers, Marcus

I'm going for two weeks to Dubai and I was wondering if there is any opportunity to do some flying. I would not mind to take an instructor with me to do a bit of sightseeing in a C172 or similar. Anyone has any leads? thanks, Marcus

As a skydiver I would be first out of the door during a spin, does not seem that there are too high g-forces to keep the jumpers in the aircraft. If this was intentional, that is very scary. In an uncontrolled spin a jumper could impact the tail of the aircraft. This is a video of a stall...

what would be a good place to go in the Southwest? I did 12 hrs in the UK instrument flying and nearly all of them where in IMC conditions... Would you recommend to do the theory part before the flight training? blues, Marcus

That is correct, but maybe a little bit too hot already in mid May. Florida might be raining season so was thinking of California around Perris Valley/Elsinore. Did a bit of flying a while ago with the school at Corona. blues, Marcus

I'm planning to do my IR training beginning of May and was thinking to do it either in AZ/FL or CA. Since I just moved to the US I don't know how consistent the weather in NY/NJ is. Would like to do the flying part in 2 weeks. Anyone can recommend any place / school? A big plus would be if...

Hi everyone, I relocated 8 month ago from the little wet island north of Europe (England) to NYC. Since then I'm trying to find an aircraft for rental to do day trips or for a weekend trip. Currently I'm renting from a flying school in Linden (LDJ). I'm looking for an underutilized aircraft...
