    T-38 crash kills 2

    I live about 5 miles north of KTLH (Tallahassee). These T38s coming off of 36 are very loud (the good kind of loud) and I never get tired of trying to get a look at them as they turn to the west. When I read that this plane was headed to Tallahassee it made it hit a little closer to home. Sad...

    First renewal of medical with SODA

    I have this same SODA/SI issue, except with a 3rd class and I’m over 40. In the years that my medical will be expiring, I have to get the eye exam and visual field results and take them with me to the AME. He will issue me a medical that is good for 2 years and send all of the documentation to...

    Loss of sight in one eye

    I have a SODA for monocular vision. Not nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be.

    Appointment with a neurologist...

    Hopefully your symptoms turn out to be nothing big, but whatever it is, concentrate on your health and you can deal with the medical later. I have Multiple sclerosis, and am legally blind in one eye as a result. It took a little doing, but I was able to get and maintain a third class medical...

    Soda/Medical Flight test

    I had to do a SODA ride for monocular vision. Wasn’t a big deal. The worst part was getting coordinated with the FSDO, because they were very busy. I ended up meeting them at an airport that they were having to visit for another reason. Flew there with my instructor and got some cross country...

    Max operating temperature for airplane

    Probably would have to leave too many passengers behind (due to DA) to be profitable.

    Friend has a big fifth wheel, I have a plane. Which is cheaper

    Since my wife doesn't fly, and we have 4 dogs that go where we go, I'll have to settle for having a sweet fifth wheel and dreaming about my own plane for a while. Good thing for rentals.

    Cessna 310 hits a house in Riverside, CA

    Is this what is being referred to as an "eyewitness account of a tail strike during taxi"? Looks to me like the eyewitness just said that the plane was rocking back and forth during taxi, then SoCal RV Flyer added a comment about his experience with a static tail strike. Maybe I missed something.

    The Impossible Turn caught on video

    Since I am more of a reader than a poster, I'll take this opportunity to add to my post count and say that I am interested to learn more about AOA but that was some cheesy music. I would be interested to see videos with a better view of the AOA and in slow flight and stalls. There may have...

    No more SI!!!

    That's great news! I have to do the SI dance every year due to MS and blindness in one eye. I'm hopeful that I will one day get past it, but it's not likely. Stories like this keep hope alive. I'm happy that you don't have to hassle with it now.

    Monocular vision, special issuance/medical flight test process

    I can tell you that you will need to be sure that everything is in order on whichever plane you take it in. They will give it quite the inspection (including logbooks) before the flight.

    Monocular vision, special issuance/medical flight test process

    Vance, Did you originally take your MFT for the class 2 medical? Mine says good for class 3 medical, and I guess I'll need to take another one to get a class 2 medical.
