2021 Thread here 2023 Thread here I like old aviation museums, and I'd like to see the AHM triumph over Signature. However, it seems like the AHM has gone radio silent, and their Facebook page doesn't offer much of any updates. Any idea what the latest is?

This was posted on Reddit recently. I thought it was an interesting perspective, and figured this board would appreciate it. Link here, text copied in below: I bought an airplane. It was a lifelong dream. 6 months later, I'm out. Not because it's expensive to own. I knew it would be. It's not...

My bad, looks to already be a thread. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/island-airways-beaver-island-crash.135267/

This recent article from Flying magazine is almost too absurd to summarize. Numerous different eVTOL companies going public, with valuations in the Billions. And yet, very few of them have produced anything approaching real, no-kidding, flying hardware. Most only have some snazzy CGI...

Link to the article from Ogden's Standard Examiner I flew out of Ogden-Hinckley airport in Northern Utah long ago. It's a pretty well equipped airport, 8,100 ft primary runway, situated about 40 minutes north of Salt Lake City. While there have been many threads about the decline of GA...

I have no relation to this place, just thought it was an interesting find while poking around the web on a Saturday afternoon. Seems like a neat little grass strip just over the IL/WI border. Also, I'm jealous of anyone who has their own airport...

Can't seem to find anything online, hoping the folks here might know: DKB is the most convenient field to me, and I was hoping to get current again and maybe rent an airplane a couple times a month. From what I can tell, Fly America did rentals and training at some point out of DKB, but their...

Not my aircraft, but I've seen it on the local Craigslist for months now. Interesting aircraft that I hadn't heard of before. https://rockford.craigslist.org/avo/d/shannon-1968-aero-commander-darter/6958809253.html Some background on the type here...

https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/avo/d/farmington-1946-aeronca-7ac/6948326326.html Not mine, but I thought it was an interesting ad, if maybe a little over-priced (feel free to comment on price in the thread). Also, the write-up is kinda.....interesting. 65 hp Continental engine Completely...

As I was taking a break at the show yesterday, I started poking around on my phone, thinking about what else I wanted to see. Ended up on YouTube, and saw a video for the Bally Bomber. https://www.facebook.com/BallyBomber/ http://www.theballybomber.com/ It's a human-piloted, 1/3rd scale B-17...

Newlywed couple flying a Cessna 150 from Texas to the Bahamas. Doesn't sound good... http://kfor.com/2017/10/14/oklahoma-woman-and-her-husband-missing-for-more-than-two-weeks-after-plane-trip-to-bahamas-for-honeymoon/...

Didn't want to muddle up the other Oshkosh thread..... Went up their today, and had a blast as always. However, was kind of wondering what happens after the show ends on Sunday. I don't know the total count of aircraft on the field, but it's got to be north of 1000. How does that work? Is...
