    Franklin 220HP in a 172H?

    I have a friend with a Franklin powered 172B, I've had the pleasure of flying it and I absolutely love the power and performance. Last cross country I flew it on, I was seeing close to 130kts true...fuel burn was about 10.5 gph. It's a great cross country machine and excellent short field...

    David Wayne Hooks Airport

    I'm gonna be staying in The Woodlands, so I picked Hooks due to proximity, but most important is ramp fees...I'd like to avoid $150 ramp fees if possible...At this point, however, I may have to drive anyway...weather looks crappy all next week...:/

    David Wayne Hooks Airport

    Planning on flying my humble little Chickenhawk to Houston next week. My plan is to fly into DWH...anyone ever used this airport? I'll be arriving Saturday, March 14, and departing the following Friday. Any ideas on how much it'll cost to keep the plane on the ramp? Anything else I should know...

    Have You Ever Totaled a Vehicle?

    Yep. Combination of being late for class, having a quarter mile long driveway, and ice being present on aforementioned driveway. I hit a power pole at 40 mph. I ended up paying to repair the car (2000 Ford Taurus with 70,000 miles) because it gets great gas mileage, and my insurance would have...

    Transient Parking at Santa Barbara KSBA

    Somewhat off topic, but Atlantic is probably my favorite FBO to use, and I will use them whenever I can. In Tulsa, I can park my plane on their ramp, get cookies, coffee, water, borrow the courtesy car for four hours, all for $40. Flew in there one night, the guy behid the counter recognized...

    How sick is too sick to fly?

    I flew with the flu (lol) to Oklahoma City a couple weeks ago. I had terrible sinus pressure, my ears hurt, and I had a headache, chills, and muscle aches, but once at altitude, my sinus pressure subsided. It was quite nice, until time to descend. Hurt like hell. Would I do it again...

    Let's play this game again...

    That's what I was thinking. We're still heavily considering a P210...it's just sooo hard to find one that isn't completely worn out under the cowl.

    Here we go again...6 seats, at least 200 knots, preferably pressurized, budget is $220K...;)

    Toilets on small twins...

    Not that I don't agree with you, but I was just curious how one would add one...doesn't seem like there's room.

    Toilets on small twins...

    I know this has been discussed here before, but I was talking to some friends who mentioned adding toilets to a 340 and Duke. My question is, where the hell do they go? I've been on both aircraft and don't recall there being much room...do they come at the expense of a passenger seat? Confused...lol

    What's fun to do as PAX on a commercial flight?

    I recall flying AA from DFW-ICT about five years back, returning from Cancun. Being the weirdo I was (am), I pulled out a sectional while sitting in the gate at DFW. A nearby female Eagle pilot saw it and we struck up a conversation. She was cute...forgot to ask for her number... :/
