Hey everyone, Putting this up to give plenty of notice. I'll be in the SF Bay area the week of Jan 10, 2011 and I'd love to get together with anyone for dinner and some hangar-flying! I'm working in Hayward and staying in Union City, but will have a car so I can get anywhere. My client's...

Okay guys, here's the game: Let's try to compile a collective list from A-Z of all airports we have visited via an airliner. You can either have departed or arrived or both as pilot, copilot, or passenger, but as long as you were on board an airliner for takeoff or landing, you can list it...

Okay guys, here's the game: Let's try to compile a collective list from A-Z and 0-9 of all airports we have visited via a GA aircraft. You could have been pilot, co-pilot, or passenger, but as long as you arrived and/or departed an airport via a GA aircraft, you can list it. I'll go first...

Hey Everyone, I'm meeting up with Pilot Will this evening at 6:00 PDT at the West Valley Flying Club at Palo Alto Airport (KPAO). From there, we will decide where to go to grab a bite to eat and some libations. Anyone else want to come meet up with us and tell tall tales about flying?

Hey everyone, I'm heading back out to the San Francisco Bay Area the first week of November. I fly out there the morning of Monday, November 1 and return the afternoon of Friday, November 5. Would anyone like to get together for a little meetup? I had a good time hanging out with Will last...

$54 for a 45-min Discovery Flight, available for 68 more hours only! This is out of "The Flight School" at Weiser (KEYQ). They came down to the museum for our National Learn to Fly Day presentation in May, and I've been by there once or twice since then. Their fleet of planes is nice, and...

Hey Everyone, Was wondering if you could help me out or point me in the right direction. I'm friends with a CFI couple that moved to Houston a few months ago. Recently, he got a job right-seating a Citation XL out of Minneapolis, so now she needs to find a job up there too. Do you all know...

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this, especially you corporate jet jocks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzM3aaypEYo

(Cross-Posted at BeechTalk) Hey Guys and Gals, Provided that the pre-buy inspection goes well early next week, a fellow volunteer and I will be heading to Tennessee to pick up the next raffle plane for The 1940 Air Terminal Museum. The plane is located in the Knoxville area, so the...

Hey Everyone, I just got back from a week-long vacation to Hawaii, and I was able to commit a flagrant act of aviation while I was there! The fiancee and I spent several days on the Big Island, and on Saturday, June 12, I went up with Mike Lauro from Tropicbird Flight Service out of Kona...

Hey Guys, I'm coming back again! Who's up for dinner/hangar flying on Tuesday evening? I'll actually be staying in the city this time and won't have a car, so I don't know about getting to Pilot Pete's, but I'd love suggestions for other places! I have been dying to try Frontera...

(Cross-posted from HoustonPilots.net) Last night, I arranged for my Intro to Air Navigation class to take a tour of Universal Weather, near Hobby Airport. I didn't realize before how huge this place was or how much they did! Unfortunately, I have no pictures as cameras were not allowed, but...

Dan Gryder, the guy who does DC-3 flight training in Georgia (where Steve Tupper, aka Stephen Force got his type rating), got arrested for allegedly trying to hit police with his airplane. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,574345,00.html Personally, I didn't realize it was a crime to drive...

Hey Everyone, I know that I mentioned this in another thread about me coming to the DFW area, but this event sounds so cool that I had to devote another thread to it. On November 7, the Flying Musicians Association will be having a fly-in at Fort Worth-Spinks Airport (KFWS). This promises...
