How much should a high time engine (at TBO 2000 hrs. - IO 540) affect an airplane's value regarding insurance value and sale price? Engine still has high compressions and borescope looks good, after mostly been flown at 65% hp and LOP. Plane otherwise has nice upgraded avionics and new OH on 3...

Crazy ride, but he survives and flies it to the end. News helo catches it on video. At some point, you have to go around, which may not have been possible in this situation. https://abc7.com/pilot-injured-after-small-plane-crashes-at-upland-airport---video/6265107/ Edited thread title and...

Ugh, prop leaking grease/oil. Under TBO but well over Calendar. I know a few names, but wondered if anyone had experience with any of them. Preferably in SoCal. TIA

Have a friend looking for a small plane ride/charter from Myrtle Beach to Dumopolis. Any such thing exist? For hire?

So, if I rent a plane for sight seeing, how is it flying around the Norfolk area? It appears to be a very active area with the Charley, military installations, and other concerns. Can I do like a "bay tour" around the Naval base. San Francisco is a busy Bravo and other area, but there are ways...

This thread was updated. See post #25 on 11/26/18. Horizon turned out to be great! Wow. Looking at spending a few days on the wrong coast, I mean East coast, and was looking into renting a plane from Horizon Aviation at CPK for a couple of hours. Not that I am any sort of ace stick and...

Hmmm.... Flying with a CFI doesn't always mean you're flying with someone of superior skills and judgement. They did survive. So, I guess the practice was successful... Will wait for the full explanation before passing judgement. Glad they survived. Wouldn't you want to practice this...

KTLA ch. 5 shot some great video of the fire fighting a/c on the Liberty fire in Murrieta, CA. This website has broken down some of the key times. http://fireaviation.com/2017/12/07/v...r-murrieta-ca/ The airport you see the planes flying over, is where my plane is hangared! Thankful for the...

Thinking about basing at F70. Any opinions on the airport? Hangars seem very pricey.

Looks to be an awesome airshow. AF T-birds and other great acts. Had questions about flying-in, but got my questions answered very quickly via email from the organizers. Info below was sent to me via email attachment from organizers. Quote: California International Airshow Salinas...

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-engine-failure-plane-catalina-island-20140104,0,7751528.story#axzz2pU0lcWFx Glad they found a boat to ditch near and they survived. With the plane sinking, it'll be interesting to hear how the story goes.

Fuel sale at Flying Tigers FBO at CNO (Chino, CA). Black Friday sale extended to tomorrow (Sat 11/30) due to poor wx today. I got mine today between rain showers. Girls in flight suits even pump the gas. Cool place. Worth it to drop in. Flo's restaurant also at CNO, serves great food.

Heard about it on another forum and finally stopped by today. Great people, and just about best prices on fuel in So Cal. It's called Flying Tigers Aviation and is patterned off of a Flying Tigers base from back in the day. Cool memorabilia, convenience items (like an AM/PM) and cool shirts...

I'm having my panel redone w/some upgrades and aligning the "six pack", etc. I'm toying w/having the AI and DG OH'd. Any rule of thumb on how often these and the other standard inst. should be OH'd? Or is it a matter of if it ain't broke, don't mess with it? I'm thinking while I have it down, I...

on a Comanche. If I could get an insurance quote that's in this atmosphere, I might make an offer on Monday......:fcross: Some nice planes out there. I'm not sleeping much. If I go it alone, I'll have to have a CFI glued to my hip for a while until I can get some history. Seems like the...

Well, looking at getting into the Comanche, and as many said in the other thread, insurance is looking like a pain if at all possible. Anyone have experience or a referral/suggestion on where to get coverage? I know I will pay until I get the history behind me. Avemco already said they...

that I'm thinking about buying an airplane? :dunno:;) Hmmm. She'd probably find out anyway.....in a few years. Just kidding. I'll mention it to her.....ok, run it by her......ok, let her in on it........ok, ask for permission......ok, ask for permission...

If the stars lined up, (in current economy) would you open or invest in a flight school? Start with a couple/three planes and build? I know liability is a big hurdle as well as maintainance, etc.

Just finished PPC, and some have told me to wait a bit before going after IR. Why? I know I'll need 50 hrs. x-country (plus other min. reqs.). If I buy into the Comanche, I will also need complex and hi pro. Any thoughts on why to wait? Time and resources are not an issue.
