Fun watching a helicopter drive down the road.

Pondering future hypothetical purchases and casually and informally surveying folks at and around the two local airfields I have any time at it, has gotten me to thinking. It seems that there are a few distinct groups of thought/people when it comes to ADS-B mandate as it relates to small GA...

Club of 10 members at KMFV. 1972 C172, basic IFR, kept in hangar needs two members to replace guys leaving town. $2000 buy-in ("stock" that you sell when leaving) $100/month dues $75/hr wet, hobbs Current plans for ADSB and IFR GPS in 2019 paid for under current dues/rates if flying rates...

Driving to work yesterday morning, these clouds looked distinct...what kind of clouds and what would the weather implications be for flying? That's looking East out of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Yesterday I went to do solo pattern work and found my company in the pattern to be a Navy CH53 doing touch n go's. He was flying a right pattern, which I understand is the convention/option for a helicopter, but I was worried that trying to mix in with him would be like a big airborne version...

I've got a suction mount and a Garmin VIRB (essentially a gopro) that I'd like to suction to one of the backseat windows in our club 172 and film my instruction flights. I've also purchased the inline cable to capture communications. My CFI is reluctant to allow me to use it because he is...

First, Hello... I've seen the question asked, but perhaps not from the specific angle I'm coming from. Having run the numbers, I've come to the conclusion that a purchase of a less than 500hr, current annual Cessna 150 or 152 would be a better financial move, for me personally, than renting...
