    Flight to Santa Fe to fly a T-34 mentor

    First part of the video is the flight from Austin to Santa Fe to visit Larry Salganek at Jetwarbird.com. The last 1/3 of the video is taking off in his T-34 mentor... unfortunately my GoPro overheated so it didn't get the aerobatics part of the flight.

    Flight training deductible if I plan to instruct as a business in the future?

    Hi everyone, I'm currently a PPL and I plan to eventually get my instrument, commercial and CFI, so I can make a little bit of money in the future. Since my training and hours are working towards this goal, can I deduct any of my expenses from my income, for tax purposes? Thanks

    Redbird Skyport in San Marcos - anyone know what changes they're making?

    I recently called Redbird Skyport about a flight review (I did my PPL training there). Renée told me that the school was going through some changes currently so Redbird couldn't do a flight review. I'm just curious what changes (I should have asked her, I guess, but I didn't). I liked...

    Any disadvantage to letting my medical lapse while out of country?

    Hi everyone, My medical certificate is good through the end of March, but I'll be living outside of the US through the end of 2015. I'll be visiting the US in March, so I'll have a chance to renew my medical. Or (I think) I can just let it expire, and renew it when I move back. Is...

    Anyone flown in Buenos Aires, Argentina?

    Hi everyone, Last year I got my PPL and then I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I'll be for a few years. Has anyone done general aviation or flight lessons here? I'd love to be able to keep flying while I'm here. I went to one flight school (at Morón, just outside the city of...

    Where is the "Southeast practice area" near KAUS (Austin, TX)?

    I know there's a "Southeast practice area" somewhere southeast of KAUS. (Somewhere around the Bastrop and Lockhart area). Is this a well-defined area, and if so, where is it exactly? I want to be in the right place if I tell ATC I'm going VFR to the Southeast practice area.
