50% or more of my travel is for business. The other half is subsidized by my business.

Rogers, Arkansas is a fun day trip. We like Whataburger. The old downtown area is quite pleasant. The Daisy BB Gun Museum is open on Saturdays, but not Sundays. There are plenty of things for you to do for a day. The FBO is owned by WalMart and is quite nice. They have 2 practically new courtesy...

You are correct sir. The fact of the matter is that we were flying around thunderstorms all the way from KPIL and had to divert to the West quite a ways. By the time we cleared the convective activity we directly south of the DFW Bravo. Hopefully that clears up any confusion. I can send you a...

I have a lot of hours flying a jump plane. We always had a NOTAM every weekend we had jumping operations and we ALWAYS contacted Center on every flight before dropping jumpers and after dropping jumpers. We NEVER let jumpers out when they would fall through clouds. That will cause you to lose...

I recently returned from KPIL (Padre Island) and filed direct to KMKO (Muskogee, OK) for a fuel stop. When I picked up my clearance before departure I was cleared direct KMKO as filed. In REALITY when I got to the DFW Bravo, I was vectored completely AROUND the BRAVO airspace and ATC informed me...

I have gotten vectors to final on many RNAV (GPS) approaches. With vectors to final, it is usually between the IAF and the FAF................Sometimes I get cleared to the IAF and get instructions like "Cleared direct SOXOE, maintain 3000' until established, cleared RNAV 18 approach." If...
