What a video, what a story, thanks for sharing.

I fly fixed wing and helicopters in the Ag industry for multiple operators and the most common I have used is pledge. For one particular operator we were told to use WD-40 on the bubble of Bell 47 helicopters. It worked surprisingly good and was much more effective at cutting through bugs and...

Top 4 game changers: Thermapen MK4 Technivorm Moccamaster Victorinox Santoku 7" Flat bottom wok with lid

Moving to Lima, New York in January and wanting to see if there are any hotspots for GA in the area? Might be interested in doing some freelance instructing, fixed wing or helicopter. Thanks

I got into ag a few years ago and fly fixed wing and rotor. There are a lot of myths out there and you will need to do your homework before committing to it. Check with Eagle Vista in Florida, they have free videos on youtube that will give you an idea of what it takes. You will hear from...

Thanks for the advice, I will check into Good Reader.

P&W recently started providing tech pubs in such a way that I can't download a pdf. In the past I downloaded the pdf's and put them on my iPad to use in the hangar. Now you download a zip file that gives you an icon on your desktop that I can't seem to convert to a pdf. I can't even figure out...

Having had 26" and 29", definitely go with the 29". Less rolling resistance, smoother over bumps, etc. I echo to stay away from a full suspension. Stick with the major brands (Trek, Specialized, Giant, Cannondale, etc) and you will be happy. 2016 models will be heavily reduced now and I bet you...

I fly a Quest Kodiak with a helmet and cep's in Indonesia. Using the hand held mic and speaker is nice for getting start clearances instead of putting the helmet on and off. (I do starts without the helmet to listen for anything abnormal as the cep's/helmet combo is very quiet)

Thanks for the reply fellas, I have heard good things about Baker as well. I could get the books and home study, but I have 2 toddlers at home so going away for a week to concentrate in quietness looks appealing. Thanks again!

Not sure if this is the right place, but got a question for someone with first hand experience. I have been an A&P for 7 years and meet the requirements. What is the best course of action for adding the IA? I have looked around a bit and see many schools that offer courses, any that stand out...

I would wait till July for Tom Brady, that guy is first class.

I wear a helmet in a fixed wing for my job (gentex hgu-56). After a few hours it "broke in" and I find it quite comfortable. I also use the cep's and find them to be comfortable and far quieter than a premium anr headset. Of course my Bose A20 is more comfortable than my helmet, but modern...

If you don't mind me asking Herve, how long ago did you attend Flying Tigers? The reason I ask is that they are under new owner these days.

Thanks mondtster, seems it may be a toss up and not that much difference between the two.

Thanks for the words Herve. I do have an agriculture background and a fair amount of tailwheel time. I have been told by two different operators I needed to get the ag pilot course done for insurance purposes. Just looking for a little info before I decide on a school.

Mainly wondering how the experience was and also how did having the training help them get a seat.

I have been in contact with Eagle Vista and Flying Tiger. Before I drop some serious coin I was wanting to hear from someone who may have attended one lately.

Looking for some current, first hand info from anyone who has attended an ag aviation school in the last 2-3 years. Anything would help. Thanks for your time, Ed

2 days, 5 hours. I did it with Tom at Traverse Air and the whole experience was top notch.
