I’ll be taking a trip from KHWD to Scottsdale in a rental Arrow II (‘76, FWIW) I’ve taken it on two trips to truckee, but don’t have a feel for what I should use for ”real world” airspeed/fuel burn planning. The POH numbers seem- optimistic.

Looks interesting. Anyone want to relate their experiences? Can one fly in for just lunch or dinner?

To show any plane, much less a scheduled carrier (American, no less) to the departure end of one of the 28s. It was holding up 7 other aircraft. 11 pm, listening to live atc as I wait as a passenger for pushback to RDU.

Seems this is an old incident, and I'd love to see more context. real ATC

At least one dead. Based out of Hayward, did a bay tour Sunday afternoon, apparently landed at KHMB around sunset, departed shortly after 7 pm. N656TE https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-01-15/urgent-search-for-survivors-after-small-plane-crashes-in-half-moon-bay...

https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/arizona-accident-pilot-arrested-in-utah-after-four-years-at-large/ All sorts of angles here. Folks commenting on news articles stated he owed a large sum to the IRS, and subsequently was working in construction prior to his recent arrest.

Looked familiar- and he was!- my cfi for my PPC! Hadn’t seen him for roughly two decades. I knew he was an excellent instructor, but the intervening time reinforced that- as I dealt with a true emergency 14 years ago- he’s part of why I’m here to post, today. He’s not even primarily an...

Last minute plan to fly into Sacramento executive, to meet a friend for lunch. Transient parking is in front of the tower and free of charge for under 6 hrs, is that correct? Any advice for someone new to the airport? thanks in advance!

Fascinating. I had no idea. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/11/style/the-frothy-saga-of-the-jacuzzi-family.html

Many of us doubtless remember this saga- 31 yr old Canadian, Turkish emigrant, Adam Leon, taking primary pilot training in Thunder Bay, steals flight training airplane and flies 700nm, in apparent hope to commit “suicide by f16” https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.783138 I was wondering what happened...

I’ll be flying a c172 from the SFBay area for a weekend trip at the end of October, staying downtown. Looking for feedback- is KTTD the way to go? Or PDX? Other? Have read mixed reviews of FBO at PDX Thanks! Don
