Playing the might be realistic in 6 months game on barnstormers today... What are the gotchas with buying a 140 or a Luscombe 8A? I've flown in both, owners loved them, I've always thought they were gorgeous, and haven't seen anything scathing about them. So why are prices for these aircraft...

Hello all, been gone for a while but I'm getting back into flying and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good place/CFI to go to for a tailwheel endorsement and BFR in the DC area. I could manage the hike to Baltimore, Virginia, or Pennsylvania for the right place. Flying in this...

Two big game 7s between tonight and tomorrow. Im hoping for a Ducks Rangers championship series. Thoughts?

I recently attended a seminar on the ATC hiring this year and thought I would post a short summary for any who are interested. Now before I start, take it all with a grain of salt as it is second hand and from a biased source (a university telling its students how to get hired). This year...

Went flying tonight to get checked out in a friends Grumman Cheetah he will be giving me access to. Ive flown it several times with him in the right seat (he's an instructor and has been very generous). Its between 6 and 7 pm local, quite dark at an 8000 foot airport thats nice and quiet most of...

Last night I went cruising by the airport and saw an odd looking twin. It was midsize bigger than a 310 but smaller than a 400 series. High wing, twin turboprop, a big pod on the end of each wing that sorta arced down, sat very low to the ground, and had big arcing main gear doors, conventional...

http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/why-fly-gliders Interesting article on Flying Mag. And in addition to all the points he makes, you get to wear a floppy hat and fly some of slickest looking aeroplanes there are.

http://vimeo.com/109908037 Very good cockpit video. Fun to watch the g's stack up so quickly on some of those turns.

I just got my new certificate from when I added on SEL and noticed that now the little logo in the top right is blue, on my old one (glider) it is black. Anyone know if this means anything? Have I been randomly selected? Did I win a new car? I remember reading that a CFI can get a gold logo...

Passed my SEL add on ride today. Such a relief to be done with it. I know I had quite an absence from the board so heres a quick run down of the drama involving my add on. In June of 2013 I received a scholarship for 20 hours of flying (up to solo). I eagerly jumped on the opportunity and...

http://vimeo.com/93790719 This squadron produced a similar video last year... http://vimeo.com/40935850 In the new one there are some great shots of low level in Alaska and Afghan, formation flying, a little bit of dogfighting. Truly great air to air footage and cockpit cams.

Pretty neat little fly in this weekend. Going to be Panchito the B-25, skydiving will be available, as well as huey and cobra rides. Pancake breakfast, flyin, car show, seminars, music, etc Ill be flying the 150 in solo.:yes: More info @ http://www.marvelofflight.com/ and on social flight.

I need another 1.7 hours of solo flying to finish the reqs for my PPSEL checkride. Would a night, solo XC be acceptable or are night solos not allowed? I want to do more night flying and more xc (because I enjoy it more than bouncing around the training area for 1.7) so this would be a good...

So Im starting to look at UND as a serious possibility in my future. (ATC major) My reasons: Public school (not private school prices) Big Fleet of Diverse Aircraft Large Aviation Program What's the real scoop with the program? Actual cost? Jobs afterwards? Climate (I am a Florida...

Well today was a fine day down in Destin Florida. Had a bit of a marine layer but it burned off before we went flying. Anyways here is a little background for those of you who dont know. A couple of years ago I started glider training, soloed at 15, and got my license at 16. Im now 17 but...
