Greetings. I recently moved to Orange County, CA and my RV-8 is now based at Fullerton. I'm looking for a shop in SoCal that can conduct condition inspections and work on my avionics when needed. Can anyone suggest a shop for me? Thanks.

I have two Port-a-Port T-hangars for rent at KAPA. One is A-24 and the other one is C-10. $550/month each. A-24 is available in September but C-10 is available immediately. PM me if interested.

Wow. What a sh*tty thing to have happen to you: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/i-m-covered-in-poo-transport-canada-investigating-feces-falling-from-sky-1.3956501

Hello, Everyone. I'm selling my Mooney and therefore no longer need my TouchTrainer BATD. I bought it new about 4 years ago and have found it to be an excellent tool for maintaining G1000 and IFR proficiency. This trainer is FAA-approved for instrument currency and includes the FAA certificate...

I've been through some wicked turbulence, but it was never bad enough to make me puke: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/weird/Everyone-on-the-Plane-Threw-Up-Wind-Storm-Makes-Bumpy-Ride-for-Dulles-Flight-475661103.html?dr

We pilots need to figure out a way to find these jerks and get revenge on them. ;) http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_31696852/longmont-airport-noise-complaints-soared

I recently received a couple photos of some of my ancestors standing in front of this airplane. The photos are dated April 1936. I tried to find a plane like this in online images but couldn't. It resembles a Stinson Gullwing but isn't. Can anyone identify it?

A few of the Port-a-Port T-hangars at Centennial Airport have one or two solar panels mounted on the roof. I'm curious as to what these are used for and how they are set up. I haven't been lucky enough to run into any of those hangar tenants yet to find out. Anyone here have experience adding...

My longtime tenant sold his Mooney to buy a twin and my hangar's not big enough for that, so my hangar is now available for rent. It's a Port-a-Port T-hangar. Good location on the east ramp, just south of the tower. Faces east so no snow or ice issues most of the time. Sorry, no heat or power...

He won't be fined and his license will not be suspended: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/04/03/harrison-ford-escapes-fine-license-loss-botched-plane-landing/99995304/

Today an opinion piece came out in the Wall Street Journal that was strongly in favor of privatizing the US air traffic control system, and it touted NavCanada as a shining, successful example of why we should do so. I'd be curious to hear from pilots on both sides of the border who are familiar...

These shots were taken in mid-October. We did the Mooney shoot over the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado near sunset, and the RV shoot along the Front Range just after sunrise. The photographer is Mitch Bowers.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/01/06/african-airline-reports-drone-collision-passenger-jet/96237622/

I know we have a lot of IT guys on this board, so here goes. I just threw my second HP all-in-one printer into the dumpster. Last year it was an Envy 120. This year it's an OfficeJet 4650. Both printers were bundled for free with some computer purchases I made for my office, so it didn't pain...

Has anyone else based at KAPA noticed that runway 10/28 is much wavier and bumpier since they resurfaced it last year? It used to be smooth and solid but that's no longer the case. The past couple times I've departed runway 10 in my Mooney I experienced a rough ride and actually bounced a couple...

It's coming time to renew my G1000 databases for the coming year. Until now I've been buying PilotPaks from Garmin for everything EXCEPT charts, then buying a separate subscription to charts from Jeppesen. This year I'm thinking of ditching the Jepps and getting a Garmin PilotPak that includes...

Not a lot of details as of yet: http://www.denverpost.com/2016/07/04/one-dead-single-engine-plane-crash/ Pilot identified: http://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/07/05/pilot-killed-in-buena-vista-plane-crash-identified/

A buddy of mine from Omaha and I are having a mini fly-in. We're meeting in the middle at Lexington, NE. Doesn't look like there's much going on there, but is there anyone familiar who can recommend a nearby restaurant for breakfast? Thanks. BTW, we chose Lexington because it led to equal...

I plan to fly my Mooney to the SF Bay Area for two weeks next month. I'd like to get some air-to-air shots around San Francisco and southern Marin county while I'm there. Can anyone recommend a good outfit for this? Googling brought up a lot of aerial photography outfits, but none that I saw had...

This thread is for the GA pilots, not the pros. My list is short: SAN, LAS, SLC and MKC, with DEN on deck for next week.
