I'm looking for guidance/assistance in configuring a basic home computer flight simulator for IFR practice. I don't care about hi res graphics or realism as much as being able to build a panel that matches the panel in my 66 M20E. I'm thinking of the Carenado M20J running in MS FS2004 for...

I went in for a medical today for the first time in several years because a pal has offered me the opportunity to fly his Citabria on a nice long XC ferry flight. I'm healthy as a horse. I'm essentially a professional athlete climbing trees for a living and otherwise running, skiing, or biking...

Looks like I might be assigned to fly a Citabria from Madison WI, to Flagstaff AZ. A pal is moving and needs the airplane relocated. Probably sometime in early to mid June. I think this one has 125hp up front. Open to hearing suggestions for route, stops, do's and don'ts from those who've...

Monerai P N1390V took to the air again today for the first time since 2003. I've had it in storage for several years waiting for the free time to get her airworthy again. It's been my intent all along to find a good home for this fine bird but I wanted to fly it and check everything out first...

With my 2.5 hour tour of Iowa today I surpassed 100 hours in my Fly Baby. I also surpassed 200 landings and 50 airports. I feel really good about flying the plane and finally getting the hang of it. One leg today was downwind between Greenfield (home of the Iowa Aviation Museum) and Guthrie...

Well, somebody has to start the thread so it might as well be me. I had a GREAT time as best man supporting Tony and Leah at their wedding on Saturday! Really enjoyed hanging with Jesse and Tristian, Matt Sawhill made it as did Ted D plus Chris Jones & Rachel AND Chris & Julie Uhl (to name a...

Left Ames Iowa this morning about 1 minute before the football game TFR went in to effect at 10, and flew to Muscatine to top off the fuel. Touchy filler hose chugged fuel all over me there. Fortunately they had a shower and had 1 change of clothes. Next leg was to Muncie Indiana where I'd...

I'm looking for reliable auto fuel sources (at airports) on a route between Iowa and Washington DC. I'm willing to detour some to get it. Yea, I'm searching the AFDs but some local knowledge would save me a lot of squinting at fine print. Thanks, Matt

I just returned from an overnight visit to the Antique Airplane Association fly-in at Blakesburg Iowa. I flew in Fri evening just after sunset in 48ML and camped. I was granted a great parking space close to the main hangers in a little area reserved for Pietenpols and really old Aeroncas. Mine...

I've got an event at the big cemetary in mid sept. Wondering what's the closest airport I could fly in to in a non transponder equipped light GA plane without getting shot down or violated. M

My mom was born in 1927, the year Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic to Paris. In 1938 she took her first airplane ride in a Ford Trimotor at Ft Dodge Iowa. She was accompanied by her big brother Jim and the cost was $5 per person. She still has her ticket stub (see photo)...

I learned tonight that Col. Harold Fischer has died. Hal was featured in the book Hot Shots as one of the Korean War F86 aces who after becoming the first American jet pilot with 10 kills, was shot down and imprisoned by the Chinese. Hal was my fathers best friend during the 60s when they...
