    Destin, Florida to Gulf Shores, Alabama

    Had one of the best flights of my career today. Flew one of Destin's (DTS) C172M over to Jack Edwards (JKA) in Gulf Shores and it was an absolutely incredible flight. It was a friends boyfriend's birthday (evan) so she asked if I could take him for a flight, so my girlfriend and I and those two...

    How to navigate thunderstorms?

    As a brand new private pilot, I’ve never had the chance to fly around and navigate thunderstorms. On Thursday I’m scheduled for a VFR XC but it’s forecasted scattered thunderstorms. Now obviously I won’t go if I’m any way concerned it could be dangerous and I’ll have ADSB in on board to keep a...

    I need some help with radio communications

    Hey guys! This is probably a stupid a question and I'm probably just over thinking it, but I'm a brand new private pilot and I haven't taken my first flight yet as PIC since. I did all of my flight training at Eglin AFB (KVPS) and I'm sure some of you know that the military has some weird ways...
