    Addison, TX PIREPS

    This all is a shame. I got my private 23 years ago at ADS. I haven't flown since last year when I redid my BFR at 52f. ADS was a great easy airport in the early 90s to use. It's sad to see its not GA friendly. And it was a breeze to fly into. Contact ADS tower over EDS on the way in and...

    Aircraft purchase gamble

    Ok so I'm dumb but most of the newer 182s that I see are >250,000. Where can I find a slick 182 for <75,000 that's not over 10 years old?

    Aircraft recommendation for 200-300 nm business trips with easy access for dogs

    Ive been thinking about getting a plane just like you are looking for. I keep coming back to a Cherokee 6 because its simpler, carries a lot, I know I can handle it. It not as sexy as others, but its cheaper, carries anything, Im not going to land wheels up, I dont have to fix a retractable...

    Follow-Up: Lost Trust in Foreflight

    Id disagree some. When I fly just VFR buzzing around the area, FF helps a ton. DFW has some busy airspace, and yes looking at ground references helps, but with so many overlapping airspaces FF has really improved my ability to visualize the airspaces around me and is slick on a short XC...

    Broke my back and need HELP.....

    H.A.S. You have a new MRI? You said you "broke your back" but what exactly do you mean? Do you have a compression fracture?

    iPad power cord

    I charge it and my Elf the night before, but I carry a battery pack with both the lightening cord as well as a MicroUSB cord so I can charge anything with that pack Those charge packs are awesome just to have when traveling. No worry about having an outlet or anything.

    Cherokee 140 air conditioning.... Does it work?

    Consider one of the portable ice chest systems? Then you use it just when you need to, and leave it out when weight is a concern

    ForeFlight Question about Altitude

    If your GPS error was low I wonder if the altimeter was off due to barometric pressure difference. My Bad Elf will show me both lateral as well as vertical error, you might check that

    How to buy a plane - Need advice

    LOL I was waiting for this post. I thought hard about the A36 but right now it may be a bit too much plane for me. Also I want to get my IFR and it appears to me the Six will be a bit more forgiving to me Thanks for the insight guys.

    How to buy a plane - Need advice

    Thanks for the insight. Ive thought hard about what I truly NEED, and its a Cherokee Six. I like the insurance rates, I'm low time so I don't have to worry about lowering gear, its got a 1300 useful load for most of what I see, and its not too fast for my skill set. Now I just need to pick...
