For those that know me well, I've been taking my nieces on an annual trip the last 13 years. They now have kids and the last few year, my Daughter's family has joined with us. We're planning on heading back to the Bahamas this year. Went to Green Turtle Cay; then Atlantis last year and...

Which FBO in Denver? Heading into APA or BJC first of March. Looks like APA (Centenial) has many more choices. BJC (Rocky Mountain Regional) has one FBO and prices look pretty high. If I fly into APA, which FBO is recommended? Need Jet A, perhaps a hangar and will need a rental car. Thanks...

Looks like they did a good job and pacs got out well on the camera; although, one was killed. That isn't explained. Best, Dave http://tinyurl.com/kg9skrs

Went to a wedding Saturday and wound up departing at night to the south (runway 18) which took me right out over the ocean. A few things made this distinctive and memorable. Before the departure, I had to do the pre-flight in the dark with the FBO closed. Tower was also closed. Don't like...

As some of you know, years ago, I began taking my nieces on an annual trip in my plane. We did skip a few years to go to Hawaii commercially, but flew my plane on trips in between. It started off innocently enough with me inviting a niece in Wisconsin to visit one summer here in Dallas. She...

Went mostly around a huge convective system on the way to Wisconsin last Thursday, but still got some ice at FL190 and some light to moderate chop for a short time. We were on the east side going north and out of anything but green on NEXRAD, but still picked this up. About -12C at that...

On the way to sim training in Orlando today, I stopped at KBKV to drop a friend. I've done this many years. I usually fill up on the way back to Dallas, but today I was informed if I didn't purchase 65 gallons of fuel right then, there would be a ramp charge of $65. When I asked if I could do...

I've spend over an hour now on line and trying to figure out how to simply upgrade my OS from 4.3. Any help welcome. I have Itunes on my laptop but it's new. Old one died. Thanks, Dave

For several years, I've had posts on the Virtual Wall which is an internet board commemorating Vietnam war dead. Many times, relatives of fallen comrades have contacted me and asked for details of a lost loved one where I had a post about them. Over the last couple years, a couple fellas that...

Took the KA up to FL270 yesterday to catch over a 100 knot tail wind. That's the highest I've flown my own plane. Asked for higher, but Center said they were unable. I was on a pretty busy route from Dallas to Atlanta; so, there was a lot of traffic and I was pretty slow up there. Still a...

A friend that does a lot of international business is looking for an air freight shipper to fly 190,000 pounds; about 1700 CF out of Rajkot to the States. Wondered how to locate some of the independents. Evidently, a quote from a large carrier was a bit intimidating to him (g). Any...

We got a call from our FBO a few days ago that they received a strange call asking a lot of questions about our plane. The caller stumbled around a bit and asked about our plane being there. The lady on the phone asked if he had a registration number. He said he did and provided it. He then...

And now, a TFR to prevent trash . Where will these end? Why can't the 1% of folks that do something like this be punished rather than impose additional restrictions on the other 99%? Best, Dave ======================================================== The request, which was passed along...
