I continue to struggle, although far less now about selling my turbo Saratoga. I purchased a 78 182q model to rebuild and slap a big engine on the front but have since decided I don't want his either. Discussing with broker about selling em both and finding something I can enjoy and yet fly...

My offer was accepted today on a 1978 182Q model which I intend on refurbishing both inside and out. Any pics and recommendations would be much appreciated. Pics can be sent to jonthamilton@hotmail.com Thanks

Looking for p or q model 182 preferably with less then 5000TT, some avionics upgrades would be nice but not mandatory.

So almost 20 years ago when I would ride left seat as a medic in the Dauphin we flew, I could barely see the gauges at night. Our older well seasoned pilots would all just barely keep the lights lit inside. Of course a lot of this was to help their night vision, but damn they were barely...

Getting closer to completion of the hangar. I want to coat the floor although I may have to wait till next spring for some good temps. Quote from Airtech $2800 for supplies for 3000 square foot floor. I've read 1 post saying it was the best. Anyone install it in their hangar?

So the wife and I ran across the Renegade motorhome at Oshkosh. I immediately fell in love with it but it just costs too darn much. We have a small camper we pull behind the truck and are considering upgrading too something larger so we are looking! My initial intent was too park the camper...

Local news reporting PA 28 went down on top of Rabbit Ears pass today. Apparently rescue teams haven't reached the site as of yet but CAP aircraft located the fuselage after tracking its signal. Hopefully thoughts and prayers that the 2 on board just bruised up.

Well after drooling over many of the warbirds this last weekend at OSH I'm considering a taildragger. The mission would be to fly low and slow and build some time. I would consider something like a citabria for some easy aerobatics. No need for long distance as we have a family traveler...

While grilling last night we had some small hail hit the house,no biggie as it was quite small. Well flew home from Craig where I hangar the Toga which is 45 miles to the west tonight. Nice guy helped me secure the plane mentioned if I had seen the aircraft. Apparently the hail last night...

My antenna sits in on dash and for someone reason doesn't work after usual couple hours in air. if I take it down and turn it off and let it cool it does fine again after 30-40 minutes. Anyone have same problem? It seems that it's getting to warm or something, is that possible?

So flew into KGJT this evening. Went to Hertz counter to get our reserved car. Pulled out my debit card and was advised that they would run a credit check and that this may affect my credit score. Well I said to hell with that and told the wife to pay with her company credit card. We don't...

It appears next weekend I'm flying to Oklahoma, picking up my parents and flying back to KAPA to watch my little girls gymnastics competition in Littleton. I will prob leave that next morning to fly them home before returning home to Steamboat that day. Any recommendations on FBO? I'm liking...

So while doing a sports physical on 16 year old young man last month I asked how school was going and what he wanted to do after. I always do this so I can prod them about how important school and goals in life are! So the kiddo says he wants to be a pilot, of course i'm digging it so offer him...

So I set out this morning to drive the 42 miles to small town where I keep my plane. Got the 11 year old up at 630 to teach him sleeping all day doesn't get you anywhere. Of course I had it pulled out ready to go by the family that runs our airport. Upon checking my front baggage compartment...

So wife agreed to go and stay at Hangar Hotel for a few days in June for our 18th Anniversary. Last time we were there my son was 20 months old 10 years go. Hopefully he isn't the reason why they no longer take kids?? I'm still VFR, so IFR not an option. I'm considering flying to kremmling...

1 dead in crash involving tourists in Arizona http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-dead-plane-carrying-french-tourists-crashes-arizona-n102386 Sad, just landed in Page a couple weeks ago. Nice runway, little squirrelly with winds that I experienced but plenty of runway to ride it out.

Got my normal wx brief before departing San Diego to Mesquite, NV and got clear sailing for the entire route. No weather, no notams that applied and no TFRs. Normally I check just before I fly but this time it was 2 hours before my flight, since nothing was changing for a long time I opted to...

Nice tailwind today from 67L to KCAG. Smooth and nice push. Probably averaged 205 - 210 knots throughout trip home! Pic a little blurry, sorry

After touring the USS MIdway yesterday I thought how cool it would be to have a couple of these. I'm sure their next to impossible to find but anyone know how I can snag one or more? I'm going to call Turnbull LLC today as my research last night indicates they may have manufactured some for...

So spring break started one day early for the kiddos as I wanted to get out of NW Colorado before weather moved in. Nice uneventful flight over the Canyonlands and some beautiful scenery! What started out as quick fuel stop (and ****tiest landing in a long time) in Page, Az things turned south...
