Hi all, Just a quick question. What's the shortest length grass strip you would feel comfortable landing a Husky, Maule or Super Cub at? Thanks! Joyce

Hi Guys, I have an iPhone 4 that I got because of all the cool pilot apps. Now my contract is up and the decision is between the iPhone 5 (unless I hold out until spring for the elusive 5s) or go to the Droid platform. I'd really like to hear your thoughts and are there cool apps in the...

Hi All, I now have a 17 week old Malinois (cross between a German and Belgium Shepard) and I need to go from TX to Oxford, NC in a couple of weeks. My question is how friendly are FBOs and car rental companies to dogs? She travels really good by car and I'm planning on taking her up a...

http://www.mywphost.net/craigr/2011/...in-the-jabiru/ This story happened in my back yard - so to speak. I was incredibly thankful that everyone was safe and unhurt as I got to the 'landing site'. The plane owner and pilot did an incredible job of writing up the incident and I found several...

For those that like 'gun porn', here's some good shots :wink2: http://www.wilsoncombat.com/uniquegallery/unique/index.html

Well… I’m not even sure where to begin! I just had, yet another, wonderful experience! Yes, it involved airplanes. And yes, not only did I survive, but I learned all kinds of neat things about exploring the edges of envelopes within flight that could save my life! I was fortunate to be...

Hi all! Last week I had too much fun in Burnet, TX getting my taildragger endorsement! Now, I want one. Only problem is that I don't know enough about taildraggers to know what I want. I'd like to get something not too expensive (50-75k), that I can fly around the ranch in TX and land in the...

So we had a little get together at the ranch.... 4 pilots and an honorary non-pilot. One Cessna 182 (mine - not in the picture), 2 Mooneys and a Piper Archer. Lots of guns, lots of ammo and lots of fun. The pilots included me (who hasn't really done anything significant in the aviation...

Ok, I posted a little on the purple board, but I have to 'brag' a little here too :wink2:. We came in SECOND :cornut: out of 51 planes:D:D:D, using our own weather knowledge and flying a SAFE and clean (penalty free) race. It was the most awesome experience of my short flying history...

Hi All! Besides flying an airplane (which still gives me chills every time I push the throttle forward :D), I'm going to do something this summer that I think is really cool. I'm going to fly with a friend of mine in this Air Race in June. I don't know anything about racing in an airplane -...

First time since Jerry West was part of the team (so I've heard :-)) Let's go Mountaineers!!!

Mosquitos and water! All this rain over the past month has left the ranch FULL of the little critters. Went horseback riding this afternoon and stupid me didn't spray the horses or ME down with repellent. Now I'm at least two pints low! :mad2:

I've always wanted to see it but I know absolutely nothing about it. Anyone have suggestions as to when to go, where to go, where to stay and what to see? Thanks always! Joyce

Is there an easy way to clean up my contacts actually on my phone without going through each one? I have my phone set to grab my contacts from gmail and would like to be able to push the contacts that I have entered on my phone to my computer. Can this be done or do I just have to take the...

I just downloaded and installed the latest and I'm impressed (but then maybe I impress easily :wink2: ). Now you can actually move your apps around on the computer instead of trying to do that funky drag stuff. I get more amazed by this stuff all the time, but then maybe it's an age thing :lol:.

Hi all, I'm in S. Africa right now and want to use a local sim card so I don't have to pay for the expensive air time (even with the world traveler packages) to make local calls. I'm not real tech savvy with this iphone stuff yet, but I realize that it will need to be unlocked to be able to do...

Hi Guys, This isn't an 'ask the Doc' post, I just wanted to share my recent experience. 13 days ago, I had a partial knee replacement, my 2nd actually. I had the left knee done in Dec '07 and had the right one done May 21. I don't know if all my years in marching bands caused my problems or...

I'd like to do some light aerobatics or unusual attitude training but I'm not sure where to find an instructor. I'm in NW Arkansas area, but I'm not adverse to going pretty much anywhere for even a few days. Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks! Joyce

Anyone have any experience with any of these? I'm thinking that I need a little computer for my flight bag:) Joyce

Does anyone know if there are still any kind of rebates or specials on WAAS upgrades for the Garmin 430? I know I should have upgraded last year, but I was a new pilot with a new plane and didn't realize the value I was missing:frown3: Thanks, Joyce
