Is anyone going? Starts in Carbondale and ends in Loveland 18-21 June. I was thinking of flying to the start and then direct to the finish. Interested in anyone’s experience if they have been to a previous one—is it sitting around waiting for planes to arrive, or more exciting than that?

Posted this on Airnav, or rather attempted to, did not show up. Set down here about 7:30 pm, absolutely no way to get out of the field without scaling a 8 foot fence topped with barbed wire. This was a first, set down in roughly 500 strips and they all have some type of code—usually squawk vfr...

Flying anywhere in Arkansas is going back in time ( State Motto:You are now leaving the 21st Century.) But check out these pics from KSGT, about three dozen hulls in various states of decomposition. Quite fun rummaging through them.Stopped for fuel, stayed for the wrecks.

Did my annual checkup and my doctor signed off on my FAA Basic Med eval. He did it 4 years ago too, but I was wary as I have read in this forum that others have had problems with their docs signing off, liability, whatever. When he handed me the sheet I thanked him and said, “You know, I’m...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/02/japan-airlines-plane-fire-haneda-tokyo/ All passengers and crew of the airliner exited but 5 crew of the Coast Guard plane are unaccounted for. The planes are engulfed in flames, the pictures are gripping.

https://rollcall.com/2023/11/29/supreme-court-casts-doubt-on-agency-enforcement-actions-without-juries/ I seem to remember the FAA uses ALJ’s when you get sideways with them; if the SCOTUS rules for the plaintiff here this could upend things.

Hi, I am researching for a novel where the protagonist becomes embroiled in a scheme to fly undocumented immigrants—he calls them illegals to start out with—from airstrips along the Rio Grande to ones farther north, over the CBP checkpoints set up on roads in the SW. would there be anything...

I have a new A&P for annual, he took apart the gascolator and there was no screen there--I have looked but I cannot seen to find a part number or anything offered for sale on the various aviation websites--does this engine perhaps not use a screen? Many thanks in advance!

I just did this and it was a lot of fun, plus I felt I was giving back to the aviation community in helping with a study that might save lives. They are testing out a new app—actually something that will be embedded in Foreflight, etc—that gives you an audible alert if you are in an unusual...

Hi all this week's episode of Airfields of Dreams is on Gettysburg, PA (W05). It has a neat chat with the fellow running the FBO there who is really bringing it back to life. Airfields of Dreams | RSS.com

I think several insurance companies have these apps now, they use the embedded accelerometers and positioning info to evaluate your driving and give you a discount. Anyhow was talking to the insurance fellow in a non related subject and asked him how the app would work for me as I use my phone...

Just posted a new episode to my podcast on Front Royal. It’s a neat field with a lot of history nearby. Plus I interview an air ambulance pilot who has some interesting things to say about flying patients. Http://airfieldsofdreams.com

Flat nose oleo, the shop repaired it. Flew it back to the home airport and left on a 2 week business trip, when I returned it was flat again. The shop repaired it a second time and it held, same repair, except this time the A&P replaced the top o-ring as well. The repair worked. The shop wants...
