A one-legged airplane enthusiast from Suffolk who crashed a plane after authorities had repeatedly warned him not to fly was sentenced Friday to two weeks in jail. Robert R. Gray Jr., 55, pleaded guilty in December to flying without a license. According to court documents, Gray, who uses a...

Hey! The tax bill just passed by the U S Senate prohibits any tax on aircraft Management services, flights, or aircraft maintenance. https://twitter.com/robferdman/status/936753264783233024 I'm SURE they had us single piston engine airplane owners in mind when that was added. (SHHH. Stay...

OK, guyz, I need a tug real bad. I was sore for the entire day after the last time I pushed the plane back I by my ownself, and besides there may come a time when I can't put it back by myself. The plane is a Cherokee heavy. A 1968 Piper Cherokee 235 that has wheel pants where there is no...

I only got my ADS-B IN working in Foreflight on my new (to me) iPad on the return leg. It was CAVU although the setting sun was low and blinding behind me. While I was within 10 miles of home and trying to figure out the landmarks and where my airport was, I see no less than 4 traffic targets...

Here we go again. The Boston Globe team that outed pedo priests is after aviation. http://apps.bostonglobe.com/spotlight/secrets-in-the-sky/series/part-two/ (If you get the paywall just open in incognito mode) Hey, didja know that airplanes can't fly if the pilot doesn't have a "license" with...

Thanks, to TWO stadium TFRS popping up on ForeFlight, I took an unplanned tour of the Chicago cribs way out in Lake Michigan. It looks like it was Soldier Field and Northwestern. The last time I had to do this diversion, it was a hazy, hazy, hazy July 3. With no warning, Meigs tower said the...

A few years I got a phone call "FROM THE FAA" asking me if my plane was flying in Arkansas. I didn't verify the vice on the phone but I told him unless I heard otherwise my plane was dusty, parked in the hangar. He said OK, ATC can fat-finger the N number. I guess it just happened again, unless...

I'm going to fly to Sparta/Grand Rapids MI to pick up my rescued puppy Wilbur next weekend. (Guess who he's named after?) He's an American Bulldog like his big sister, Dakota. I got a good sized Kennel/carrier for him, with a warming mat and some puppy pads. We just found out that it doesn't...

Am I the only one to think that every time we think we're on the step to get Medical relief, some incident happens to ka-bosh it? I read that Senator Inhofe is dealing with opposition to the PBOR from Senators listening to the Airline Pilots Association claiming safety issues (and WHY?)...

":nono: Rules? What we fly doesn't follow any rules."

NFL: Flying over games is a security risk. Yeah. That's it. ....unless it's us doing the flying.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htcs-re-camera-goes-half-black-friday-sale I'm in for one. That's good one to have in place of a Go Pro, they have a headband and lotsa other mounts, and it has the 1/4" camera socket so you could use any tripod or mount.

Bruce's birthday is tomorrow. :happydance: Let's all pitch in and get him something nice. Like a THANK YOU! :cheerswine:

You can't say he was winging it.

The pax gets props for not being a blade runner?

Some naysayers are saying it's too big. Nah.

It's all over the news. An Regional Jet landed at DuPage. "How did they get THAT BIG JET in there?" Not that the only reason they don't fly from DuPage is that the Nimbys got a ban on passenger jets, even though DuPage has a passenger terminal. DuPage is really close to O'Hare. I...
