Had a good example of other pilots attempting to pressure me into flying today beyond my personal limits. Had a fly in today at our local airport and various different pilots were giving first time rides to folks. We had a lot of folks lined up wanting plane rides. There was about 6 pilots...

Anyone have one of these installed on a 172? Looks like I might be installing one of these on a customers 172 soon, and Ive also been considering one for my 172 as well. The installation looks straight forward with attachments to the forward wing bolts. Thoughts?

Anyone up for a lunch flight to Maimi Co? Matt and I are planning a lunch flight to Paola KS this Friday if the wx holds.

This happened just as I was driving in today. One dead. Thinking is it was caused by a gust of wind.

Went to a local fly in at a nice grass strip last weekend. They had a really big turn out for such a small grass field. There was about 50 planes that showed up. Only problem I had was parking the plane, the line guy had me park right on the edge of a ditch and the plane started to roll down...

I got called out to a nearby airport today from a Archer III pilot saying there was smoke in the cockpit. Once I arrived I found this ignition switch to be the culprit. Ive never seen one burn up like that. Needless to say they will be staying the night until I can get a new one installed.

I took a little x country last weekend to Minden, NE for a antique fly in. It was a nice little flyin with lots of antique planes and other modern planes. Wx was perfect once there, but there was a lot of turbulence going and coming. Anyone know what all the little white structures are in the...

just got this email from my aircraft insurance company "We used to have an Off Airport Exclusion that we put on tailwheel aircraft but we no longer do that. Pretty much there is nothing we can do if they land on a grass strip occasionally. We would prefer that they not but there is no...

Here are a few pic's I took at Gastons this morning of the planes splashing through the water.

Here is a interesting one... April 16, 2009 A gust of wind is being blamed for the crash of a small plane in Barton County Wednesday. The Kansas Highway Patrol was called to K-156 highway, just east of Great Bend at 2:40 p.m. Troopers said a single engine plane was trying to take off when...

Had a great lunch at Ponca City today with John and his Mooney. Wx was excellent and there were a lot of planes in and out for lunch at the restaurant, even had light winds. John has one of the best looking Mooneys I have ever seen. Thanks for coming up John!

Here is a curious plane. Anyone know what it is?

Did anyone use the cell phone list put together for OSH? My name and number was on the list and I didnt get one call. I tried to call others on the list while I was there and never could reach anyone.

Me and a CFI were going to fly to Oklahoma today for a fun flight, but we got out about 10 miles and was hitting some good turbulence which was taking the "fun factor" out of the flight. So my CFI told me to turn back and we bounced back to the runway and made a hard landing. The winds were...

Did anyone make it to this fly in? I tried to fly to it but the wx wouldn't allow it. The winds at IXD were already gusting to 16 and were forecasted to gust over 20 and there were multiple rain showers around so I made a 180 and retreated, but I did get within 30 miles of Gardner. So close yet...

This was my first Gastons experience this year and it was great! I first want to thank Jesse and Diana for taking the time and effort to take me flying. They are both great pilots. I really wanted to fly down this year, I had the plane fueled up and loaded with baggage ready to go, but mother...
