A small general aviation airport in rural New Jersey known as “Solberg” has been under withering assault for nearly a decade by the local township. Solberg has been around forever and is enjoyed by pilots and aircraft owners up and down the East Coast and beyond. A lovely family owns it and they...

Some people just love to fly. I am running a "Mom & Pop" LSA school out of a small airport in Southeast Pennsylvania. Just for Primary students, Private Pilots and Sport Pilots. Most come into the office with no intentions of flying for commercial airline. They want to have an adventure. I will...

I have been very pleased with my Garmin Virb Elite. 1) Ease of use: slider switch starts recording. 2) Battery life: 2+ hours, set it and forget it. 3) A variet of GPS overlays - show GPS data including track, ground speed, elevation, bearing, etc. See http://youtu.be/fOUIrYap_Og for sample.

This was my first Expo so I can't make any comparison to previous events. However I thought the "enthusiasm" was good even though it was damped by the poor weather. I guess its hard to have a VFR Show in IFR conditions. This link points to my notes: http://lsaeronaut.blogspot.com/

If I fly track up my initial position report is always 10 miles SOUTH of the field.

My wife has had motion sickness since she was kid. Riding "shotgun helped". We have found that at least for her it seems to be sensory overload. Too much noise, inner ear movement, odors, seat pressures, headset clamping pressure, etc. All the remedies help a little but nothing eliminates it...

Does video count? http://youtu.be/6KcHMz0XBbU I was sitting with another pilot in the FBO discussing the is topic. It had been a loooong time since everything lined up "just right", not bad, but not that "ahhh" kind of landing. Went up last weekend on a cold day, winds down the runway and...

Sport Pilot costs less.

I use a Virb Elite. I can get 3+ hours on one battery charge. Sample here: http://youtu.be/sPuwZgA6uDQ

"There is no sport equal to that which aviators enjoy while being carried through the air on great white wings. The exhilaration of flying is too keen, the pleasure too great, for it to be neglected as a sport." The Wright Bros thought of it as a sport...I wouldn't disagree with them.

I've had only minor problems with my D120/D100 system. Most of the time its been "user error". But when I've called the response has been immediate and helpful. They are definitely my first choice.

Flying makes you a better pilot. Whatever machine you choose, fly it often and learn what your own limitations are. Understanding those limitations makes you a better pilot.

An interesting discussion. I have found bias in most endeavors, aviation is no exception and justification for bias is usually based on ignorance. I own a PiperSport. I have a 2nd class medical. I fly for fun. I no longer wish to fly IFR. Single pilot IFR in a small plane is work. Staying...

We really enjoyed this event. Estimated about 80-100 planes. Fantastic ground support AND a FREE T-shirt. http://lsaeronaut.blogspot.com/

WOW! Great post. Thanks for the optimism, it seems that the wold today doesn't have enough of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Are you on airspeed?

No. I have never had the need. I love my 696.

It was customary in the Navy to give the instructor a bottle of his favorite upon completion of the first solo.
