    Aircraft loan through AOPA/BoA?

    My experience with BOA was different. I just used them to buy the Decathlon. I applied online and got an answer the same day. They handled the closing in escrow and the paperwork was quick and easy. There was one small glitch in the paperwork where they put American Champion as the manufacturer...

    New Student / headset

    I've had David Clark for years. The quality is hard to beat. Aircraft Spruce has a good return policy if you buy a set and don't like them.

    That's a lot of driving and not much relaxing. But you're young. I would love to go.

    Sometimes, you just don't win.

    You can't even see the tops of cell phone towers today. Good call Bill.

    Great Tennessee Air Show

    I may go. I wonder if Aaron Tippen will fly in in his Stearman. The website doesn't give any info for people flying in. Do you know how long you're stuck there if you fly in?

    Runway closures during SNF

    Yeah that's the one I have. We want to arrive before the closure. The SNF website says the airshow starts at 3:00 but doesn't say when the airport is closed. I flew right seat last year and it wasn't a big deal. Two pilots keeping their eyes peeled made it easy. Are you going?

    Runway closures during SNF

    I've looked everywhere I can think of but can't find it. Can someone point me to the NOTAM that says what times the airport will be closed for arrivals and departures daily during the airshows. I have the arrival and departures procedures NOTAM but it's not listed in there. Thanks.:)

    Great J3 Cub picture story

    Thanks for posting. If you've never flown low and slow with the door open in the summer you don't know what you're missing. You get the sights, sounds and smells you don't get otherwise.

    TSA thinks nipple rings could be a weapon...

    Jay Leno did a piece with something similar to that last night. Pretty funny.

    The stuff you find hidden in old planes

    All I find is old pens that don't write. That is a cool story though.

    Downtown Atlanta hit by tornado

    I went up to VPC this afternoon to check on my airplane and just missed another tornado coming through the south part of the airport. Fortunately there are no hangars where this one came through but sadly I heard on the radio there were two fatalities.

    Gilligan's Mary ann caught with dope!

    She was smiling in her mug shot. Maybe she was high at the time.
