Brennand Airport (79C) has had too much rain this whole spring and summer. The grass has had a lot of soft spots and even some standing water. Right now it is finally starting to dry out, but if we get mass quantities of rain again, we could have an issue. And you will likely need to park on the...

79C - Brennand Airport info: http://www.brennandairport.com Owner/Manager Keith Mustain (920) 376-0064 Brennand Airport in Neenah, WI is a great alternative to Oshkosh during EAA AirVenture as long as you are comfortable dealing with its limitations, like a short, narrow, obstructed runway...

I had a great time! Thanks everyone. It was a lot of fun to see some old friends and make new ones. Here is a link to my Flickr album with a bunch of airplane pictures from the weekend: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmbXWmh8

I'm in, unless work interferes! Lodge room booked.

Here's another one from today, from Asheville, NC. Wasn't me. AVL UUA /OV AVL170002/TM 1720/FL001/TP CRJ9/WV +15–20KTS/RM LIKE A BULL RIDE

I have the hard copy book but never got around to finishing it. Finally last year I bought the audiobook, which is narrated by Rinker himself. If you liked this book, you might like his newer book "The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey," where Rinker and Nick set out in a covered wagon to...

I'm alive! I was just reminiscing about my PoA gang when I looked at some old pictures. Definitely some fond memories of Gaston's, 6Y9, Wings, and our other meet-ups! I had somewhat of an aviation dry spell for a few years while I was mainly working a desk job without getting to fly very much on...

Our fly-in at Brennand 79C is Saturday the 18th and I'm afraid it's going to be a hot one, but having a real, flying ICON around sure is COOL! Big smile on my face seeing it "for real" today right before my eyes at my little home drome! Very exciting!!! We're hosts to these amazing airplanes...

Yes, CLI is where I grew up. I've been active at several area airports but have considered 79C home base for the past 10 years. I live a short distance away. We have our annual fly-in coming up at Brennand Airport on July 18th, the Saturday before EAA, from 9 am to 4 pm with food, Young Eagles...

My annual reminder: Come on over to Brennand Airport in Neenah (79C), about 10 NM north of OSH, if you are looking for an alternative airport or somewhere to stop in addition to Oshkosh this year. YES we have really nice bathrooms and showers! And laundry! And aaaiiirrrr conditioning! YES...

Edit: was looking for a ferry pilot for a trip thru this area, never mind, pilot found

At certain airports the airlines receive an IFR clearance through an electronic means. (KSBA isn't one of them.) At really busy airports, electronic clearances reduce frequency congestion. The clearance can be shown on an electronic box called ACARS and the pilot doesn't need to ask ATC for the...

I have flown the 75, 85, 90, & 100 HP versions. On the lower HP end, performance is worse than a C150. The 100-HP STC airplane is pretty awesome. The 100 HP version doesn't really go much faster, but it gets off the ground and climbs a heck of a lot better. It would be my top choice if I were...

I have a ton of Ercoupe time in at least five 'coupes and it is my third favorite plane behind the PC-12 and SR22. It is a stark contrast to all of that technically advanced stuff and is a joy to fly because of its simplicity. Speaking of the PC-12 I find it very funny that it lands almost the...

Two snippets from Coradine's long canned response to my complaint about their new scheme: I don't know, pointing out the previous ripoff scheme kind of makes it worse.

A subscription-based model is not unreasonable to me if it has a great deal of benefits, but a subscription that costs me an arm and a leg more than the product is worth, combined with really shady business practices overall, is unreasonable. A tiered price structure would be a step in the right...
