So, I’m doing my recurrent at TruFlight this week for the Conquest. I’ve seen it before, but this procedure touched my funny bone today. “Moderate groundloop”

I was just on a departing flight LAS to MSP and we had a bird strike. It was DL0968 with an 11:33am local departure. Wondering if any of you liveatc gurus can pull the audio? There was a very audible crunch, about a 10 second delay and then the plane leveled off and the throttles came...

Came back to the airport to fly home and found my plane had been moved and tied down in a spot not meant for a larger plane. This was the dumbassery that ensued. I was not impressed.

I got a chance to charter a flight up to Denali on a glorious weather day. This is just a few of what we saw. Will post some more and some videos when I get more bandwidth.

Caught this a few days ago just south of Chicago.

So, I've got an engine that has cylinders that are +1000 hrs TIS and are affected by AD2016-16-12. http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guida ... -16-12.pdf The annual was just completed and my IA refused to sign off due to the language in 2(f)(4), "(4) Do not return to service any aircraft that...

I thought with all the talk of airport closures it might be good to introduce a brand new airport under construction. Our county has decided to consolidate KSOY and KORC in northwest Iowa and have put together the local, state, and federal funds to initiate the project. I'm pretty excited to...

We lost a great one today.

Nerves still settling down......... I was on a flight today from Gary, IN to Columbus, OH. I was level at 9,000 and about 80 miles out and was briefing the approach. Time to get set up. Tried to switch the left engine from aux tank back to the mains and couldn't get the fuel selector to...

I made an offer on a conquest today. :goofy::yes::rofl: Haven't decided what I'm going to do with my 310 yet, but if anyone is interested send me a pm for specs. I will post updates on the new ride as things go down. Eggman

Pretty neat if true.

A multi engine, turboprop, and retract too!!

So I've had the 310 for a year now. Flew like crazy for the first seven months and then not as much when work disaster struck. Back into heavy flying now. Did 225 hours total. Made it all over the country in all weather conditions. New Orleans, Schnectady, Atlanta, Midway, Phoenix...

I brought the clan back from Phoenix yesterday after a great holiday visit with my parents. We departed KDVT and made it non-stop back to KSPW in five hours. The generous tailwinds certainly helped. This was an interesting trip to plan - mountains, departure procedures into the class bravo...

I'm looking for a new bird and came across this one. It has accumulated about 1000 hours since the incident about five years ago. Exclusive of value considerations, I'm wonder if you would have any reservations about flying/owning this aircraft from ongoing MX or safety concerns. One engine...

I've started the search to fill my newly desolate hangar. I have settled on either a Seneca II or III to meet my expectations of performance and costs. My thoughts so far - 1. Can't believe how unresponsive some sellers are. I've made contacts to six ads and only one has resulted in a...

Well, I received an unsolicited offer for my airplane yesterday. A 1983 PA32-301 fixed gear Saratoga. Less than what I think it is "worth", but realistically it was a fair price. That plane has been part of my identity for nearly 10 years now and I will be terribly sorry to see it go. I...

I know everyone is tired of these threads, but I'd like to ask anyway. Goal is to eliminate commercial travel time. Pilot 1. 750TT since 2003, 700 HP, 20 complex, 15 multi. Instrument rating in 2004 and about 50 hour in actual. Due to work/family only about 50 hours in the last two...
