I just purchased a new battery for my Tiger (Concorde 24v) as I can tell my current one (4.5yrs) is getting more and more sluggish with starting up. While I'm not quite ready to swap in the new one, I purchased it b/c I didn't want supply issues to bite me a couple months down the line if I was...

Both of mags have enough hours on them that I'm considering swapping one our for a Surefly and replacing/overhauling the other. I'm hearing differing opinions on which one to swap out with the EI. This would be for a 24v AG5B. Enlighten me with your opinions. And yes...I'm aware of the previous...

I don’t know much about helicopter regs. Obviously this was unusual, but was it actually illegal? Supposedly he had permission from the lot owner…...

I've been trying to lockdown issues with my tach and curious for input. Long story short, a few months ago, the analog tach on my Grumman Tiger took a dump and I needed to replace. I didn't (and still don't) wanna go the digital tach route. After my mechanic installed a new Mitchell analog...

I haven't been posting many videos here lately but I thought this might be one that may interest some of you. As you probably know, there was an oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach on Saturday. Last reported at around 3,000 barrels. They ended up cancelling the last day of the Pacific...

VASAviation posted this video today about a PA28 declaring emergency after wake turbulence encounter after flying under a 777 near JFK. First off...kudos to all involved. My question refers to wake turbulence in cruise flight...not on the ground or landing. It's not uncommon to receive wake...

This just happened about an hour ago at my home airport. Doesn't look good at all. Appears to have crashed just short of runway 12 into vehicles on a residential street. Listeing on LiveATC, it appears to be a CAP 182 lost power on final, enroute from Bakersfield...

I flew my Grumman Tiger to explore the San Andreas fault the other day. It's only fitting that I posted this video Friday, the same day after I was awoken at 4:30 in the morning by an earthquake, whose epicenter was right at my home airport!!

Thanks N1120A for the tip on the cheap gas!!

Victorville, CA is one of the biggest airplane parking lots at the moment due to Covid-19. I flew my Grumman Tiger over there this weekend to check it out. The tower controllers were amazing and let me do a few low-ish approaches.

In my latest video, I put together a list of my favorite airports to fly to in Southern California. My criteria was a combination of factors such as restaurants, transportation, cool things to do etc... There are many good ones to choose from but this is what I came up with:

I flew down to San Diego in my Tiger for a tour of this ATC facility and learned some interesting facts like... -They have no idea how they are going to handle to ADS-B 2020 mandate!!!!!

We flew up to the Monterey Aquarium for the day recently. Great day trip from LA!! Del Monte Aviation is a first class FBO and super GA friendly. No ramp fees and reasonable gas. Great facility and friendly people.

This is the last one...I promise!! Here's part 4 of the series:

Here's part 3 of my trip. In this one, I check out Airventure for my first time. (if you haven't seen parts 1 or 2, search in this forum or you can find the links on youtube) PS....this one is rated PG-13 haha

Here's part 2 of my trip from California to Oshkosh. In this episode, after waiting out the weather in La Crosse, WI, we hop in the plane and fly the Fisk Arrival. If you missed part 1, you can find it here:

After several years of talking about it, me and a buddy finally flew up to Oshkosh in my Tiger. It was a great trip. Here's part 1 of the video series I am making about it:

I flew two dogs from Los Angeles to Flagstaff thru Pilots n Paws. It was a rewarding experience..just make sure the dog crate from the rescuer doesn't smell like pee.

I put together a video of a trip I took with my gf in our Grumman Tiger a couple weeks ago to Arizona and Monument Valley. It's got it all...rock n roll, Navajo and the Grand Canyon. What else do you need?

Hey everybody, I had to leave my plane in Las Vegas (Henderson) last night because the vacuum pump croaked. I got a rental car and drove back to LA last night. Is anybody flying from LA to Vegas this weekend and have an open seat? I'm happy to pitch in for gas. I need to get back there to fly...
