We are planning a long cross country for Friday. Gas is $7 in Houghton, so we are considering a stop at Burlington, WI, for a fill up ($5 per gallon). Gas is $6.50 at KARR. However, it might make more sense to fill up at KARR before departure instead of taking the extra time for a gas stop...

The northern Indiana Fly-In lunches have started again. We flew in to La Porte Municipal on Friday and they have a wonderful buffet of chips, pops (or water), burgers, hot dogs and chicken tacos, and a table full of home made desserts. I hope the weather allows us to fly in to Goshen, Indiana...

I cannot join you all at KJVL on June 26. How about joining me for a cheeseburger on Washington Island, Wisconsin? It is a grass strip. Watch your speeds and you'll be fine!

Hello Illinois Pilots, I am going to drop by the Grand Geneva Resort for dinner tonight, April 25. We would love to see you! I will be flying the club warrior, N38968. I hope to see you at the Chop House. If you call security, they will pick you up by the runway on the resort property...

The Two Sisters Restaurant is a local haunt near the Mississippi River near KMLI. Food is always good. Planning on arriving from KDPA at noon with daughter and neice. Hope it is not as bumpy as forecast. It usually isn't. Read that Elliot has a ramp fee. Hoping to find a way out of it, even...

The weather looked reasonable for an IFR flight from DuPage to Black River Falls, Wisconsin. It was a chance to do some IMC work with plenty of safe "outs." I filed to go west and then north, although Foreflight noted that ATC would want me to go north and then west. As expected Ground...

I don’t know about you, but paying 299 per gallon for 100 low lead was a big event for me! They have it at the self-serve pumps at Quad City airport, KMLI. I waited for a Cessna 172 from Lake Elmo Minnesota to fill up. Good luck on your commercial checkride, Summer! The pump is different than...

Bouncy by Aurora today. Winds 280 at 15 gusting to 28. Partly sunny skies. How bad can it be? Halfway to Pontiac, I was still trying to tighten my seatbelt. It was that third head bounce on the roof that inspired that. While waiting for departure at Aurora (I was number four), a TBM on...

Good place to rent aircraft at Alliance Airport (AFW)?

Got a chance to try out the Stratux with my Ipad Mini, yesterday. Flew to C16, Frasca Field, near Champaign, IL, from KARR. Sooo good! Flew in the Warrior. Chicago Approach was too busy to talk, so I called Chicago Center when I was a little further south. They seemed pretty busy. Gave...

After months of relative tranquility, three kind of odd things with today's flight: The weather was hazy, but GA pilots came out of the woodwork to enjoy some milder temperatures near Chicago. As we departed KARR enroute to KRFD, we were advised by Chicago Apch of traffic maneuvering at 3,200...
