HELP!!! How exactly did you get that very nice lady in OKC on the phone? I need some help here... My situation: I was shocked to receive postal mail from the FAA yesterday informing me my aircraft registration has EXPIRED (also a bit of a surprise: the bits about my N-Number was pending...

I am VERY skeptical of this story. Expecting to see someone move to monetize it soon.

The electronic version is fine, but go take a look at the actual, physical, printed chart (it's printed on the Seattle TAC). Somebody made a major screw-up (at least on all the physical Seattle TAC charts I've seen). The Portland inset is cropped out so all you get is a small slice of the...

You know, there's an old expression that is still very valid: "Time to spare? Go by air!" Critical business meetings = 'GetThereItus' and other dangers, inconveniences and complications. Flying for recreation is great. It's even better when you can combine it with Other Good Things (saving...

Thanks, all, for your suggestions. Sunquest isn't terribly far from me, I'll swing by there and take a look, chat about options and WAGs. Yeah, in any paint job (whether painting your house or a plane or really anything), I think it's the prep work is what makes or breaks the job...

My plane needs paint. I'm looking for recommendations (or anti-recommendations) for paint shops in the Pacific Northwest or nearby - preferably Washington or Oregon, hoping I don't have to fly it to California or Arizona. Won't be doing the job until next year, but this is a major project (and...

My instinct is that this is probably only good news for the founders (who generally make a bundle when their hard-built company is gobbled by a larger one). There's also a bit of irony in that the company is now gushing about how great it will be for them to be part of a bigger enterprise with...

MBDiagMan: A little light IFR might be in the future, but probably not anytime soon. The plane is a humble Cessna 150, not really suitable for hard IFR. chemgeek: The quote I just got was around $8.5K all-in, higher than your speedy shop, but actually less than I had been expecting...

First, thanks to everyone who has replied so far, please continue providing your input. Specifically... @sourdough44: Cost for the Lynx is surely one major factor (ballpark estimates I'm seeing put the Lynx at roughly 1.5X to 2X the cost of a Stratus ESGi, so I completely understand why...

I'm flirting with the idea of possibly making a major investment (for me) in an NGT-9000 Lynx unit, and am seeking input from those who have gone down this road before. If you own one of these, if you've had one installed in your aircraft, I'd love to hear what you think of the unit, the...
