    Dog Sedation

    Whatever course of action you take, it's not a bad idea to do a test administration before the big day. This will afford: 1. A bit of practice for you both. 2. A chance to make sure that the drug/dose achieves the desired effect (neither an overdose nor paradoxical agitation). 3. A guaranteed...

    Seaplane in the Caribbean?

    Here is the website for this operator: https://ulm-guadeloupe.com/ I don't know the organization. Room for the pilot and one paying customer in the Zenith. I'll check with a friend from there who may know more.

    Seaplane in the Caribbean?

    There is actually very limited use of seaplanes throughout much of the Caribbean, as few locations bother with sea bases. USVI uses Twin Otters, but I've actually never seen a GA aircraft on floats in the region. I'll check around Puerto Rico for you, but my hunch is that you'd still love some...

    188kts ground speed in an Arrow

    MY best ground speed in a 182 was 419 knots in reverse, according to Garmin Pilot. It then showed me doing a full 360 before getting back on course at normal ground speed.

    Audio panel and Comm 2

    Major reason for looking is that the display on the radio is failing. I'm considering replacing panel as a more modern companion to the new radio. I obviously only need a 4-place system. I'm not actually concerned about the bluetooth feature, as I'm allergic to music in the cockpit, and it's...

    International Air Rally (Caribbean)

    A trip between St. Vincent and Barbados would be about 85 nm over open water. The next longest stretch along the typical north-south routes is about 30 nm (between Monserrat and Guadeloupe). Whether one would choose to fly directly between Monserrat and Guadeloupe is another issue, as Antigua...

    Do you regret giving up flying?

    I was friends with an older couple. The husband dreamed of retiring with a home-base and an RV. He bought into an RV community in Florida. Once settled, they set off on their first RV adventure. It concluded with his wife emphatically saying, "Never again!". He sold the RV.

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    I wonder whether we could use an addition to the list of hazardous attitudes. NAME DESCRIPTION ANTIDOTE Antiauthority "Don't tell me..." "Follow the rules; they're usually right." Impulsivity "Do something quickly!" "Not so fast-Think first!" Invulnerability "It won't happen to me...."...
