Not like Mike... And, don't sell your airplane and start an RV lifestyle... Keep your plane, fly to a great spot, rent an RV.... Interesting concept. Might work for some folks... https://www.fly2rv.com/

Sigh... Nope; DEEP sigh. I rent 172s. Through a club. Rates for 172s just went to $130.00+tax.per hour wet.... From $100.00+tax wet. Now, some of this is due to the war. Some due to inflation in general... Now, in order to avoid the ban hammer, I won't delve into my beliefs politically...

Folks, we have a freedom. A freedom worth fighting for in all it's aspects, even if we don't directly participate in air camping, or whatever... Here's a link to pilots in Utah trying to save BLM strips. Is this political? It may be... But it directly affects aviation...

I've seen a few of these... This most recently... Any others? Post 'em if you got 'em! Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp, Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ. The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care, In hopes that come morning, they all would be there...

I've copied this from another site I visit. When I was a younger pilot it seems like there were airports and strips every 50 miles. Now, not so much. If you can, send comments as outlined above. RAF does s lot of good work helping keep and maintain small strips open. RAF Call to Action - Help...

TLDR: how can I ask for an extensive radio check? .... I have a new headset. It is ANR. It is not a name brand. On intercom, I can hear myself in the headset as I speak, and passengers can hear me fine as well (with passive headsets). When I transmit using PTT, I hear the first few words in...

I'm a vfr pilot with about 120 hours. I have 2 logbooks. My current one is new since my rusty pilot seminar. My old one started in the late 70's and ended in 1998... It's only half full but I ended it and wrote "next log book" immediately after the last entries in it. My PPL checkride and solo...

These PCAS units were once pretty great... What has caused them to be obsolete? Yes, some folks have ADSB in... But not all.. TCAS is an expensive option for those with glass panels. I'm wondering why the PCAS units, some of which can talk to VFR apps (the XRS units, I think) and GPSs are not...
