I am looking to replace my 8000B with the blue tooth version (8000BT). I can't find any online. I guess I'll start calling local avionics shops to see what used equipment they might have available. If I cant find one the PMA 8000G is also a slide in but too many options that I don't need or want.

The last trip to Wilkes-Barre, by plane, was September 2020. It’s been a while since heading north to take care of my parents grave. Mary and I both commented that we couldn’t remember the last time we headed north, I had to look back on my blog. My last flight to Wilmington was 17 months ago...

Mary and I made plans to take a vacation to Charleston SC for four days then make the short hop to Grand Strand in North Myrtle Beach SC. I guess one out of two ain't bad, as they say.

A fun overnight get-away with my bride to Newport News, VA to celebrate 18 years of marriage. I'm not sure how she has put up with me all this time. We had an excellent dinner with friends at the Steak & Tonic then enjoyed a show at the Ferguson Center. BLOG with VIDEOS

I purchased a yellow tag Garmin MX 20 (Model # 430-0270-701 - SN # 26000265) to pair with my Garmin 480. After much panel measuring, and trying to figure how to swap positions on my avionics stack without cutting into my custom carbon fiber panel, my avionics shop and I reached the conclusion...

Heading to Vero beach. Any recommendation on which FBO to use? Anything special to know before flying in beside NOTAM’s. Must go to places to eat or see?

Since I had to get used to a different GPS I thought I would video a few of the things I have learned. Having flown behind the Garmin 530/430 stack for over ten years I had to relearn a few things. I will say I am happy with the legacy 480 unit and all that it can do. My 'how to' playlist

My switchbox finally croaked. It still receives my text and I hear it click but it will not shut the power off or turn it on. I had eight years of trouble free service, so no complaints. Upon opening the unit I could smell burnt wire or some component that cooked. I just ordered the two place...
