My best advice is to stock up on good mosquito repellant before the thaw comes. I grew up there. Moved away to Northern California in 1984. I get to sleep with the windows open and no screens. I have been bitten by more mosquitos in 1 day in Michigan than I have in the entire 35+ years I've...

Got it. I’ll add that to the list. Which brings me back to my original question: Does anyone know of a shop or a mechanic that they KNOW AND TRUST to do a prebuy inspection on an airplane located at Langley Field in Vancouver, BC?

Guys, calm down.... I should have given more information on the 1st post. The plane is a C-182Q. It was in the US originally. Was registered in Canada around 2012. I want to see the plane and do a test flight 1st. I can’t get into Canada unless I quarantine for 14 days once I get there. The...

I think I found a plane to buy but it’s based in Vancouver, BC. I’m in California. Just arranging the ability to look at it has been very challenging since I can’t travel to Canada. I’m having the plane ferried to Seattle but waiting for a weather window....:frown: In the meantime, if I decide...

The scariest time for me was in my early days of training. My instructor and I were heading back to our airport. There was another plane between us and our airport about 1-2 miles ahead practicing steep turns right at our altitude. It would go left, then right, then up, the down, then turn again...

From the sound of your headings, he was to your left going to your right. According to the FAA and also boats and cars, the one coming from the right to left has right of way and should maintain their course. The one one the left is supposed to give way. That’s IF the other guy sees you. It’s...

Why can’t you go upside down in the mustang? I got to on both my rides. 1st time in one with single controls at a car show. I asked if we could do strafing runs and combat maneuvers. No way. I was told before we got in the plane. Once we got in the air, we banked over and dove into a canyon...

I joined my flying club in July of 2019 as a student to obtain my PPL. The club has 4 172's. Back then I could easily schedule a plane 3 days out. If one was down, I could usually get another one the same day. By June of 2020 membership swelled with student pilots. It seems like a lot of people...

Plane Flyer, That's a good starting point! Thank You So Much! This really helps!

WDD, do you know what your club paid for the 182? That's the problem I'm having. Everyone says the ads are over priced. Everyone says the bluebooks lag the market..... This is worse than buying a house or a boat. At least with the house I can see comps easily on Zillow. Boats are common...

I'm currently shopping for a C-182. I'm having a hard time determining a realistic price of what I should be paying. If I compare the prices between the ads in TaP and Controller vs. what AOPA VREF and Aircraft Bluebook say for retail pricing, it's wildly off by a good 30%. Has anyone recently...

KOAK is actually a hidden secret for flight training. Not many people work the pattern. The controllers are really nice. They talk normally and clearly. It's like there's never a rush. Even when it's busy. Just don't do pattern work on weekdays around 5pm when all the commuter jets, FedEx and...

SC777, Congrats on soloing! Are you training out of KVLK? How are you getting dual instruction with the shelter in place order? Who's planes are you flying? I'm training out of KOAK with Alameda Aero Club. I had month to go in March before my check ride that WAS supposed to be April 13 when...
