I'm based in Mississippi and fly a Warrior. I stay east of the Rockies. My subscription is only for the eastern US. Sorry.

Every few years, Columbs AFB (KCBM) has a civilian fly-in where we spend all day in safety seminars and getting tours of the TRACON and get to fly the cool Texan, T38, and T1 simulators there. I try to attend if at all possible, so I've managed to log a landing there. They did require PPR...

Cafe du Monde is fine and all that for the touristy masses..... But I would recommend Cafe Beignet on Royal Street instead.

I second the vote for a well maintained and nicely equipped Warrior 2. I bought my 1980 model just after getting my PPL (had <50h). Earned my instrument rating in her. Fly the heck out of her (have 550+ h now and average 135h/yr). My son & I fly her from our home in Mississippi to Cleveland OH...

Great entertainment reading these posts. As I read them, a question dawned on me. So here goes and I hijack the thread..... I take my plane out to shoot some practice approaches in VMC. My pilot friend, a PP, goes along to look out the windscreen while I'm wearing the foggles. We were all...

Every year I visit my sister and family in the Cleveland/Akron area. I tie down at 1G3 Kent State. The line guys are all aviation majors at Kent. They know what they are doing, and treat my plane with the utmost care and respect.

I've been to 4R9 when at least 5 planes were tied down but that leaves 5 spots. This past Sunday, just the two of us. Most tie downs had two ropes (one at each wing). A few had all three. I always carry my own tie down equipment just in case. OTOH, the ropes there at 4R9 were in very good...
