In the spirit of #EAAtogether and Spirit of Aviation Week, @dembro just released this Piper Cub documentary from back in 2012 celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Piper Cub.

In case you missed it, last night @dembro hosted @SixPapaCharlie for a livestream of some hangar flying. They talked about memorable aviation and YouTube commenter experiences, good and bad. And POA... uhh... came up, too! Check it out at:

Hopefully the paint job on the airplane doesn’t cause an issue here (paging @mscard88), but a cool airplane and some great aerial shots of it from a helicopter.

A friend of mine just launched his new aviation YouTube channel and the first video posted is a flight he and I took (with some other friends) to/from lunch that was racing back to beat weather moving into the home airport area. Just prior to landing on the return trip, the tower announced...

I recently (finally) got my CFI certificate and was pretty excited about it at first. That initial excitement, however, was quickly tempered as I started to look into insurance options. I’ve seen a handful of CFI insurance posts here, but nothing that directly addresses what I’m trying to...

Works great, but the club doesn’t need it anymore. We also have a metal mounting plate for a Cessna 172, if you want it. Database hasn’t been updated in a while, but not sure what the latest version is offhand (but I can get and share that info, if needed). Asking $400 obo

Our club has recently gone through a few upgrades and I'm wondering if there's a good way to find out whether items we've removed have any value (and if so, what that value might be). How can I determine market value of items that don't sell very often (so it's hard to find comparables)...

Selling my Stratus 2 because of a recent panel upgrade. Works great and comes with the original box and accessories. Asking $625 shipped or best offer.

I had a non-pilot ask me this today and the best I could offer was that maybe it has to do with how crabs walk? (I know nothing about crabs, other than their legs are pretty delicious.) Any idea how this saying came to be?

Anybody nearby that can direct us to a hotel for the night?

Say the weather is less than the 1-2-3 required to file an alternate. Yet, I neglect to file one. What happens? Is the filed flight plan rejected by the system? When I try to pick up my clearance am I slapped on the wrist and asked for my alternate? Can I pick up the clearance and then get...

At least according to the Fond du Lac fire department's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/fdlfire/status/758661226427658244 "Two injured being flighted from scene."

My Google-fu seems to be failing me, because I can't find a list of all published IAPs other than the full FAA digital TPP (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dtpp/). Ideally, I'd like to find an easy way to get a complete list of published instrument...

I was playing around with Foreflight the other night, trying to figure out how to get to Sporty's to pick up a catalog ;-) without overflying Lake Michigan or skirting the ORD Class B to the west. I know the lakeshore route beneath the Class B shelf would work, but what if I was going IFR? I...

I fly a C172/A and always think "If the electrical system dies in IMC, my iPad/Stratus (with SV) will serve as an emergency backup." And I've tested that out while in straight/level flight under the hood. But, I'd also like to see whether that combination (or even my 496) would allow me to shoot...

I'll post more details about what I'd like that body to look like when my wife isn't looking over my shoulder. Rest assured, though, that I'm not looking for anything close to the Comanche pilot that 6PC is trying to hide. Nor do I expect it'd be found in the Ozarks.

Doesn't look good. http://www.scrippsmedia.com/tmj4/news/Airplane-catches-fire-at-Milwaukees-Timmerman-Airport-319656041.html?lc=Smart

Saw an announcement today of these two new receivers, along with this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZYyNyd0Vs&feature=youtu.be

I fly with my iPad attached to the yoke with the iPro Navigator and really like the setup. Having the iPad yoke mounted, with a clipboard attached and the ability to flip up the clipboard and use it as a sunshade for the iPad is an almost perfect solution for the flying I do. However, there's a...
