    Loire Valley/Nice France

    We are over here about to attend a wedding and would like to take a local flight. The local air tours are booked three weeks out and are quite limiting. Flying yourself around by joining a club, getting checked out, etc. takes more time than we have here. I’d prefer to go up with a local or...

    How to disinfect an airplane

    Rather than trying to disinfect the aircraft, disinfect your home instead. When you go out, mask-up, distance, keep your hands off your face, and clean before you return. None of these measures are perfect. You are just lessening your chance of contracting or spreading the crud. Good luck...

    Someone Just Had a Very Bad Day in D.C.

    Not me, either...although I flew a Cardinal in and out of the DC SFRA (KHEF) earlier today! (My chaff system DID NOT dispense baby cardinals to confuse the jets and lasers!) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Are the GTX327 and 335 the same form factor?

    Maybe consider the 345 instead??? Traffic, weather, etc! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    VA airport recommendations

    If you want to slide a bit east and get away from the rough air that is sometimes resident over our mountains, try Chesterfield KFCI. Nice facilities and the most complete, excellent buffet lunch you will find IN the FBO! Highly recommended! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    The wisdom of flying: random lesson #37

    I like that strip! This sunscreen in the eyes thing happens when I mow or work outside. Miserable.... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Gas station?

    Kind of like this! https://photos.app.goo.gl/1xPVjtZ1wv4EBdKK9 This is at Lucas, KS. There is a small public strip just get behind. Taxi up the short ramp by the K-18, cross the restaurant parking lot and you are at the station! This is one of the locals in a Rotax-powered RANS Coyote II...

    For those that fly into HEF..... DAI FBO is closing

    I stopped by APP Jet on Thursday for a day of business in the area. I was in a Cardinal and it was my first visit to HEF. They treated me like a king! There is a LOT of development going on around the airport. I hope the great service continues! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Flew a C177R Cardinal Yesterday for the First Time

    I just bought into a low-time ‘68 FG Cardinal that was upgraded to 180hp w/CS prop. It climbs well and is quite 172-like in flight. The huge flaps and ailerons make it very responsive, as does the full-flying stab. The Cardinal sits lower and is easy to get in and out of through those huge...

    Vintage RST Audio Panel Help!

    Gents, I'm scheduled for my IFR checkride in two weeks and am a relatively new pilot with 175 total hours. Up to this point, I've been flying fairly modern, equipped C172Ss belonging to my flight school. I just bought into a '68 Cardinal with the pictured audio panel from Radio Systems...

    Here is a cool Bellanca that stopped by KOFP last week! The owner showed me around his ride and explained the composite wood wings and fabric covered everything else! He and his family were on their way to Florida. The net says it's a 1958 Bellanca Cruiseair Senior! Sent from my SM-G920V...

    Average Dual Time Before Solo - I Know - Everyone is Different

    Unless you have a sweetheart deal, you're not getting out of this thing for anything less than $8-$10K total, regardless of how quickly you think you're progressing or when you plan to schedule your solo. You don't perform the maneuvers you listed once then move on, you will perform them over...

    Average Dual Time Before Solo - I Know - Everyone is Different

    I don't know if this has been said here because I don't have time to read the whole thread...but in the event you dont know, your solo isn't the end of your training. You will still have solo hours, cross country work, often flight reviews with a different instructor all in preparation for your...

    Advice on flying into KIND

    CALL whichever FBO you are considering ahead of time and get the real costs for their landing fees, tie-down, hangar, fuel costs/credits, ground transportation, etc., whatever you are looking for... That way, there will be no surprises. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
