I have not been around much here on the POA forums as an active poster in the past few years, but I still visit to see what all you guys are up to and the trips, posts, gatherings you do. October 22, 2011 was my last PIC flight in General Aviation. I lasted about a year after my third daughter...

Owned by the father of one of my co-workers, this unique Ximango Motorglider is for sale. Don't know much besides what is in the ad below and what I have found online. Apparently, only a glider rating required to fly this. Please feel free to share with other glider clubs or people to spread...

I had a fantastic time at AirVenture. I stayed at the POA Compound with some great people who I now have good friendships with. Thanks everyone! After 3 full days, I had to leave and begin my trek home. Arrived home this evening, 2015 miles on the trip! Now to get all those photos and...

Well, I'm going to AirVenture this year and I was origionally going by Motorcycle, but, wondering now about maybe taking my daughter Ally. In that case I would have to drive. She loves flying with me, and has been on good behavior at WindWood and Wings FlyBQ,... but both of those offered times...

Last words recored on the LiveATC reports,... "Ho Ho Hooooo SHOOT!" This site is near the Oak Creek Bridge on the St. Michael's Road [MD 33]. The folks who own the property always have eye-catching displays celebrating various holidays throughout the year. This year,...

See these articles and links for details, but if you are using an Ipad and are nearing it's full capacity, you will want to read this as the new OS5 allows the ipad to delete files at it's discretion if it is running low on space. :eek: FLYING MAG ARTICLE FOREFLIGHT BLOG

Any Fall folliage updates in the NorthEast? I"m hoping to get out on the 22nd and make a flight to northern PA and hopefully see some good / average colors coming in. Any pics/updates would be great, wherever you are located, not just NE.

Well, it's been a busy year at my home and I havn't been able to commit to a club or even fly as often as I definitely would have liked. Last three years, I was a 50hr/year pilot, which is where my budget floated for my flying. Enter a 3rd daughter last year and the need to renovate on the...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to support the local Ronald McDonald house by raising money over the past few weeks and arriving at KPHL yesterday to participate in the 3rd Annual Plane Pull! The goal was to raise 40,000 dollars for the Ronald McDonald House / Camp / and Programs, which we...

So,.. I know it is months away, and I don't even know how I am getting there yet, but can you OSH regulars provide a few tips for planning the event? I would like to camp, when/how do I register for a spot? When do I need to buy OSH tickets? Is there a POA area that you guys typically camp...

Came across this neat website. Lots of historic photographs in all categories to look at. I'm sure the photographers here will enjoy looking at these. http://www.shorpy.com/vintage-aviation-photos?page=1 Many other categories, People, buildings, Cars, etc. Many on old glass slides and B&W...

Question,... I know that the P-38 Lightning has engines that actually were mirror images of eachother, such that the props also rotated in opposite directions to reduce the torque. Specifically, I'm looking to find out of the B-17 had them. With four engines, did they all rotate the same way...

Looking at my log book, I was doing really well with my IR Training this summer and early fall. In October, I only had one IR training flight, as I went to Windwood with other Pilots here on the forums and had a great time. About that same time, I flew an uncle around for some fall folliage...

This monday, I am using a coupon I received for a Discovery Flight in a Cirrus SR-20, with the Avidyne System, at my flight school. I've never sat in a Cirrus, but I've seeminly become ambidexrous between flying the stick and yokes of Cessna/Diamond/Citabria. From those of you that have...

I know some of you also ride motorcycles from some discussions at Windwood a few weekends ago. Its been about 15 years since I ran dirtbikes slowly on some trails near my high school, and even then I wasn't a racing around jumping type of rider. Our local community has a motorcycle show every...

Looking to get more from my time with the KLN 94 when working on the Instrument rating and learning to work all the functions. I have the downloadable manual and reference guide, but there isn't a simulator for this King KLN94 GPS. John & Martha King have a DVD on the KLN 94, and I'd be...
