    Fly-in Cabela's, Bass Pros, nice Hotel in the eastern US?

    Oliver, The basics you will need include the "ugly green book" our Airport Facilities Directory, and a number of sectionals for the area you want to cover. I would recommend you consider joining the AOPA (www.aopa.org) and benefit from their flight planning tools and trip information...

    Thanking tower controllers

    In my view, anyone in the tower, aprroach or departure are the reliable "lighthouses" of the air. And so my thanks and gratitude go out to them, - Also when I am not flying. That is when they are assiting my fellow pilots get safey to their destination. To our guardian angels of the airwaves -...

    Best Day Ever?

    Thank you for inspiring us ! W should all be on the look-out for a similar opportunities in our own family and circle of friends. One pity though, with the camera positioned rear-facing over the compass in a 172, you also get a great cabin shot with the pilot and co-pilot. I guess in your case...

    Three unique things...

    (1) Flew Jumpseat in a South African Airways 747 flight from over the Mediterranean into Frankfurt, Germany in 1992. All the way to final approach, then had to scurry back to my seat in economy. (2) Climbed over 2,000 meters in a Grob Twin Astir (solo) without a barograph in South Africa. Front...

    Acheiving Best Economy Speed

    There is an article in the August edition of the AOPA website that uses Vy (best rate of climb) multiplied by 1.31 to get the most economical speed that your plane might travel at http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2008/080825asi.html The article made sense and might be of great use to...

    Flying for Work, kinda....

    First step would be check with Human Resources, and get it everthing in writing. If you are an AOPA member, get them to also review any contracts, waivers, or papers your company may want you to sign. My experience has been that it pays to be prepared for the day(s) that such a trip may be...

    Had to surrender my pilot's certificate!

    Congratulations Ted. Your message had me worried in the beginning. And it is an exciting thing to now be able to fly when others cannot "Vee Follow Roads". Welcome to the club of a minimum 6 approaches, holds and intercepts every 6 months.

    Handheld Suggestions?

    I have my Vertex VXA-210 Nav/Com with everyday in the day. Great to listen to approach, departure, ASOS/AWOIS and tower when on the road. It is a great way to stay current on radio calls and response, especially when ebveryone is flying the approach. Although I never had to, I also carry the...
