    Here are some photos I took before the FSK Bridge was destroyed earlier this week. Sad to see how fast it went down after serving so well for so many decades. Well, we will rebuild it and hopefully learn from this horrific accident. MM

    Flying near Wash DC - SFRA Training

    Go the extra step and get an FRZ certification -- you can then land at College Park and have the METRO there to take you all over the National Capitol Region on day trips or even weekends. Beats DC traffic by flying in and out. It is not hard - I have gone in and out of the FRZ 100+ times with...

    MX-300 repair?

    I am seeking the address to the place that restores/repairs the MX-300 radios. I have three and keep two in the plane at all times, with a spare third. Just swapped out one that was starting to fade a bit...would like to get it refurbished as these radios are very reliable and cost-effective...

    For Sale 1966 Airworthy Cessna 150 for sale - pilot recently passed, widow selling

    Thank you everyone. The widow actually went out and met the young man...then she called me to tell me and thank us all for putting the word out there for her as she (as with most of our spouses) had no idea how to go about selling an airplane.... Q: How do I get the "SOLD" to come up in the...

    Happy Veterans Day!

    YEP! Thank you for all the great ATC control if you were in the tower... Had the "luck" to be an active "participant" in the Persian Gulf War, Bosnia, Somalia, Haiti, a few dust-ups in Africa, and then the "latest unpleasantness" in Central Asia post 9/11 and Iraq! Do not miss living in...

    Sectional Chart Cycle **CHANGES**

    I am "lucky" enough to live on the intersection of THREE sectionals -- New York, Detroit and Washington...this will be fun as they all have differing expiration dates... Well, I use my EFB to fly but always carry paper charts "just in case." I will have to think this through... Sounds like I...

    Since we're on the dog theme

    I enjoy flying with my 14 year old Pomeranian. His name is Mickey and he is actually my daughter's dog, but she is off to college. I have FLOWN HIM to see her as they both miss one another dearly...now THAT is a spoiled...dog. He likes the co-pilot seat and enjoys looking out the window....of...

    Ownership anxiety, how did you prepare yourself? Need your advice.

    Chapel K, Yes, felt the EXACT same way when I bought my plane 22 years ago....never looked back, and really still enjoy owning it! One of the smartest things I did was NOT buy the most airplane I could ACQUIRE, but the best airplane I could KEEP. Buying a plane is different from keeping a...

    Air Mobility Command Museum

    Our flying club went to the Dover AFB Air Mobility Museum LAST 11 Nov 2019 (pre-pandemic) and after exhausting all avenues to TRY to land on base, decided it was simply not worth it. We landed at 33N and rented a car...for 5 of us, it cost $50 and we all crammed in for the 10 minute ride, so...
