    Commute by Plane?

    I seem to have a different perspective. I don't have 2 hour commutes. It would be hell. I say yes, go for it! If you broke even on the 2 hour travel time, it will be worth it. I'd much rather be flying and farting around with airplanes than stuck in traffic. It's fun to me.

    Ski resorts near airports?

    Taos, NM (KSKX). We've flown in several times at night. Between Memphis and Taos, there is only one mountain range to cross and that's just a few miles east of Taos. Although KSKX is high, it's located in a huge "valley". There terrain is not particularly hospitable West of Tulsa, but flying...

    GoPro vs Nflightcam

    Don't have experience with GoPro in an airplane, but I used it for the first time Snowboarding and the Hero2 works very well. I was impressed.

    STEC or Century Autopilot

    Great overview article on autopilot characteristics I had a 182 with a Century 2000 AP and it would nail an ILS or LPV GPS approach. It was simple and logical to operate.

    Any Experience with ArcticAir?

    I had a smaller 12 volt model (still have it and it's for sale) in my previous airplane. Last month I flew down to Cordelle, GA where ArcticAir is located and purchased a new 28volt, dual fan (the largest the offer). I live in Memphis and it is inconceivable flying without the Arctic Air...

    Quick Instrument Course

    I've trained with Marc Coan who offers a course called Mountain Flying IFR Boot Camp. I wish I had done my accelerated IFR training with him. He's squared away. He's located in Sante Fe, which seems close to you. This forum software will not allow me to post the URL because I have made only 4...

    Mooney down in an Indiana corn field

    The first time I flew with oxygen, I was paranoid and checked my O2 sat frequently. After about 30 mins at 15k, I relaxed and decided to eat some potato chips. After about 2 mins of munching, I began to feel odd. So, I put the 02 sat meter on and my 02 sat had fallen to 80%! Apparently while...
