Have a great flight - it's a fantastic experience. Coming back north, when you take a left turn to go east you're cutting right through the TEB arrivals or departures, so be aware of that. When going north and trying to get east, I found that talking to TEB tower and getting approval to fly...

I live 20 mins away from Kline Kill. You've probably already made arrangements, but I'd choose to stay in Hudson (remarkably an old whaling town). Walkable, and a fun town to visit. It can be a little pricey. Tough to get Uber/Lyft around here, rental car is definitely recommended. We've had...

I had a 1980 236 with a few others, and loved it. Climbed really well as DBR1990 said. My only knock on the 235 was the 4 fuel tanks vs 2 for the Cherokee or the 236. I went through all 235 and 236 NTSB accident reports (this was 12 years ago) and there were more fuel starvation issues that...

I overheard this as as a newly minted pilot back in 2006. Flying back from Block Island to HPN and monitoring a busy NY Approach freq. NYA: Skyhawk - There's a blimp at your 12 o'clock 10 miles let me know when you have them in sight. Skyhawk: Negative ... NYA: Skyhawk - the blimp is now 12...

Thanks for sharing! Which 360 camera did you use?

A share is available for purchase in a well maintained 1980 Piper Dakota (PA-28-236). It got a Penn Yan overhaul in April 2017, and it's a solid IFR machine with lots of upgrades. She's a great 4 seat performer - fill up the seats and tanks and go flying. If you're not familiar, it's a Cherokee...

When I bought into a PA-28-236 Dakota a few years ago, I went through all of the -235 and -236 accident reports to see what I could learn. One thing I picked up is that there are more fuel starvation incidents with the -235, which I chalk up to them having twice as many tanks. I prefer the...

Nope. Just happens to be my initials! Based at CDW in NJ. Also, here's a link to the best part of the story about the airplane I'm referencing: www.thisoldcherokee.com/2015/04/i-bought-plane-todayor-how-it-pays-to.html

Always interesting to see these planes rotting. At least some of them have a happy ending! I can't post links yet, but google 'thisoldcherkee', or add a dot com to the end of that . I'm sure some of you have heard the story before. A guy tracked down the owner of a derelict piper, and the...

I have two Dahon's with 20" wheels for my Piper Dakota, and I use one of them to commute to work most days. They fit well through my Cherokee cargo door. I picked them both up on Craigslist for $200 in almost new condition. I think it's the best balance of price, performance, and size. I...
