Unfortunately fatal. Looks like a Zenith 601. It will be interesting to hear about the cause. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/2-die-as-plane-crashes-en-route-to-airventure-b99544981z1-318586091.html

So, I don't usually use FF in flight. I use it extensively for flight planning and in the FBO between legs to double check things on the rest of my route. I have a Garmin 796 with ADSB in, so I get weather that way. I flew from Colorado to OSH for the show this past week. I...

Wondering if there are any AFA CFI's on the board here? I guess it is just an irritant to listen to.. but every time an AFA Cirrus comes into APA they call tower at 15-20 miles out and report inbound with ATIS for patterns. Every time, or nearly so, the tower says "great, do you want touch and...

With Oshkosh coming up right around the corner, I thought I would post about one of the coolest ways to get there. The Air Venture Cup cross country air race is a great deal of fun and adds to the whole Oshkosh experience. We meet at the starting point the Friday before Oshkosh starts. We have...

I am looking at flying from Colorado Springs out to the Salinas AOPA fly-in in a couple weeks. I plan to go from KFLY to KHND on the first day, and then the second leg on day two. Of course it is still a question of the weather. What I am curious about is thoughts from those who have flown...

I tested the PFX at OSH last year and really liked the way they sounded. I had a pair of Zulu 2's and loved them. When they announced the trade in/upgrade of the 2 for the PFX, I sent in one of the two Zulu 2's and kept one to compare. Having done some longer cross countries with the PFX, I...

Well I just finished attending the RV-12 Expo up here in lovely Sunriver Oregon. What a great event. Tonight the event was wrapped up with a really nice dinner and a presentation by Van himself. Prior to the event Rainbow Aviation offered the two day class required for E-LSA owners to...

Interesting.. the FAA hurriedly organizes a Webinar to state that they are going to press ahead with the sleep apnea policy changes. I missed the original webinar and signed up for the archive. They emailed me back a link to load up the archive. I tried it several times and it said the...

I put this in the flight training section since it involves CFI's. A friend who has recently been looking for a place to fly with found a school that states that even with a PPL you cannot do touch and goes in their plane without carrying a CFI and also no flying in more than a 5 kt crosswind...

Been working over at Lakeland all week so we went over to the Splash in base this afternoon. Right as we were walking down to the dock we saw a large group of people looking towards the end of the lake. A Sea Ray has just crashed on takeoff. It wasn't entirely clear what happened. A couple...
