This came up when I was talking with an instructor about getting the complex and high performance endorsements. He stated I'd be logging the time as PIC, but it is my understanding I cannot as I am not endorsed for these aircraft. I know, I know, this has been covered before.... but enlighten me...

Okay, so let's say I decide to add a glider rating to my certificate. Do I enter the time in the same log book I use for powered flight, and count it in my total hours? Or is it to be logged completely seperate so as not to be co-mingled? And if it is in the same book, and hours are counted, can...

How does one subscribe to a thread?. I've seen reference to subscribed to threads (and do so on other forums) but I don't see a button here anywhere to do so. :dunno: Little help?

Hi gang. I recently got my tailwheel endoresement (:yes: What a blast!!) and want to continue on with some more training. Probably going to go with a Complex shortly, but was wondering exactly what is involved in the high performance endorsement? Sounds like not much, a couple instructors I've...

At first I thought is was perhaps only my notebook. Not so, my desktop computer has exhibited the same difficulty. Yesterday, I was unable to log in (well, sort of). I tried, and I showed up in the "logged in" area. I got the "thank you for logging in" page, only to be redirected to the log in...

I downsized these, but with 14 pics in the post, it'll still take awhile for some of y'all to download. Hope you like 'em! One of the rare stars of this show (Thunder Over Michigan, 2005 at KYIP, sponsored by the Yankee Air Force) was a B-24 Liberator known as Witchcraft. One of only two left...

Sorry, I found the headline too amusing not to pass on. Acompanied by a pic of a twin engined airliner (757?) with a huge bat draped over the nose, and others on the wing etc..... this was on the cover of some cheesey tabloid in the line at the grocery store. "They're as old as dinosaurs"...

On Sat/Sun August 6th and 7th, the Yankee AIr Force will be presenting it's annual event, "Thunder Over Michigan (2005)" at Willow Run Airport (KYIP). Available to view and see fly will be LOTS of vintage warbirds, including (latest aircraft list) 8 B-17 bombers (I think that's a bit over half...

Some time back, some of you may recall I posted some pics from Selfridge ANG Base's bi-annual air show. (Side Note, the base is named after the first passanger killed in an airplane crash, Lt Thomas E. Selfridge, who was the first military officer to pilot an engine-driven aircraft and the first...

Okay, I rent a wide variety of airplanes (there are 6 152's in the fleet I rent from for example). Varrying degrees of avionics. Some of the planes do not even have a second com. I do carry an Icom A23 Nav/Com as a backup, but I actually bought it with more in mind. I know they are quite...

Well, since we seem to be on cats this week, here's a product every traveling cat owner should have! Keeps them secure in the baggage compartment during flight....

Just wondering what folks here think of some type of music (MP3, CD, XM Radio, etc) piped into the headset while flying?

This just in, Michael Jackson has been found Not Guilty on all counts. :lightning:

Was just reading in the homebuilt section (anyone else wonder what Sky Hog is cookin' up?) and noticed a thread I posted back near when I joined is missing ("Perhaps the Ultimate Kit Built?" or something like that). I included a couple of pics of my buddies Lancair IV in the post. Was that...

Nick took his practical test about 10 or so days after I took mine. So, you can imagine my dismay when his permanent plastic Pilot Cert. arrived, and mine was still not here! I mean.... did it get lost in the mail? Had the TSA delved into my deepest, darkest past? Was it stolen in transit, or...

Today (I'm not there :D ) and tomorrow (barring bad weather, I will be....) there is a Blues festival at KJXN. It's at the airport (they have a decent restaurant too) and the FBO will be open until 8:00 (so I've heard, if that matters, please call to verify). It is free. How often do you get...

Okay, let's hear it. If ya' didn't fly today, why not? Might've been weather (perfect here today), or work, or your Aunt's dog was sick..... just curious, why not? I'll start :P . I made the mistake of listening to the weather guessers and doing my (lack of) planning too early in the week...

This is closely related to Bills' question, with a bit of a wrinkle. Also in my mid 40's and near vision is also degrading rather rapidly. The AME's assistant last year stated I was "nearing" needing reading glasses. Probably there now, and it'll be reflected on my next medical I'm sure. I've...

So, I made the afternoon portion of Sunday's air show at Selfridge ANG base (MTC) in somewhat lousy weather (speaker at one point thanked ATC for aid, as they were launching acts into IMC.... BIG fun! but I digress.....). On the way in, I spotted and shot some of the aircraft on the ramp areas...

Well, a few weeks back we tried to get a group together for Owosso. Mother Nature sort of kicked our collective arses on that one, so I just wondered if we wanted to try it again? I see PHN's EAA chapter 979 is having a pancake breakfast this Sunday the 22nd 7-11, with one source also stating...
