Obviously YMMV, but after looking far and wide for a Cardinal I wound up buying one locally that I saw in line ahead of me at my local fields fuel pump. I walked up to the owner, complimented him on his plane and mentioned that I was in the market for one. "Funny you should mention that," he...

I trimmed and installed a new glare shield in my plane. It sounded like an easy job. It was not.

What'd he do? I don't watch his videos anymore either, but that's just because they got boring.

I find his videos entertaining, though I do envy the A&P he uses who lets him do all kinds of procedures and then signs them off. Mine would laugh me out of the hangar. :)

Thanks to all for the replies and advice. I'll be renewing next month!

My mother had the same attitude: "Don't look for trouble, Jimmy!" :)

I am coming up on the end of my 4-year BasicMed cycle in April of 2022. Due to all the excitement with COVID-19, appointments for routine physicals have been hard to get with my PCP. Fortunately, I was recently able to schedule one for early next month. My question is: given how difficult it...

I once asked a friend if there would ever be an explosion of music like there was in the 60's. He replied that no, the 60's was a singular time that will never be repeated. GA's explosion in the 50's and 60's is similar, IMHO. There was a unique combination of events that made it possible...

Glad your flight was a good one. I remember mine fondly. 5$. The noise was a surprise but I was hooked. Still have a picture of me standing next to that Cherokee. As the guy on the corner says, "The first one is (almost) free".

I owned a plane that was 'just okay' for 17 years. Then, all this COVID drama made me rethink living with 'just okay'. So, I looked, and looked and looked for my dream plane and eventually bought a down-on-its-luck Cardinal. It's certainly not a 'looker' but I am slowly fixing things up and I...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm based at Twin Oaks Airpark in Hillsboro OR (7S3). I too have parts of a Cessna 120 I used to own that has a story attached to it as well. I'd love to hear yours.

Hi Brian, Here are a couple of pics of the plane prior to my buying it in March '21. It's a bit cleaner now and in the avionics shop for a panel upgrade. (Dual Garmin G5's, GMA 345, GNX 375 and GNC 225). And this is what the panel currently looks like:

Hello folks, I've been a long time lurker on POA, reading many threads as a result of Google searches on airplane ownership topics. I finally thought it might be a good idea to join, get the tattoo and visit more often. I've been a Private Pilot since the early 70's and have owned 5 aircraft...
