Well it looks like I am going to have to work in the morning so I will have to put off trying out Yvonne's. Thanks for all the reports, it sounds like my kinda airport restaurant.:D

I would like to make it up to 6Y9 but that is usually a busy weekend around here. Some times being the on call mechanic has its downside:incazzato:

Anyone ever eat at Yvonne's Aero-port Cafe? I am thinking of trying it out this coming Sat AM.:fcross:

I have a scar to prove you can hurt yourself while seated in an airplane. PA24-250 enroute from San Deigo to Palm Springs I was in the co pilot seat not flying. Severe turbulance after crossing the last ridge into PSP during a decent. With the seatbelt on I went thru the headliner and cut my...

Had a great time today, about 30 planes showed up. Great day to fly.

I like doing BFR's/ WINGS it allows an instructor to make me do things I can not or wouldn't do when flying solo. I did one last month and the sneaky instructor did his best to distract me with a "look at the topless girl" ploy on my base leg. I was even surprized that it did not distract me...

Iosco Co is having its annual flyin this weekend. They are offering on field camping with Sat night movies. Sat will have a swap meet garbage sale at the airport. Sun morning begining at 7AM they will have a pancake/sausage breakfast. I am not affiliated with them so if you have questions call...

See now there is another cool thing to do while in the area, stop by Iosco Co Airport, have a cup of coffee with Marv and check out the cool photos of that event. It is still a major topic of conversation among local pilots. It happened before I moved here so I can't help with the type of...

Next time try the sunrise side. You can walk to the state campground from my airport, KOSC, which is on Van Etten lake and your less than 5miles from Lake Huron. Plus if you talked real nice to my boss at the FBO he would let you use the crew car. Oscoda also has lots of fun stuff to do. We had...

I departed the Big Bear Airport in Ca many times with a DA of 10K or more, I was just aware of the fact that the climb performance would be poor. My Mooney never liked it but we did it on 180HP and I never felt it was unsafe.

For this case lets say you still have oil pressure. I think you would get more glide distance with the knob all the way out, high pitch, but than I get to thinking about push starting cars and how much extra effort it takes to get the engine spinning when you are in a higher gear with not much...

After about four hours I am finally geting back to feeling comfortable back in the saddle. One thing I always do when I fly is look around for the best place to land if the fan were to quite turning. So when I was walking on the shore of beautiful Lake Huron this AM I had about an hour to think...

I charge 15 hours for any fixed gear single for 100hr/annual inspection, me doing all the work. If the owner wishes to get involved in the maintenance process that goes down to 5 hours if he/she does all the grunt work. I used hours as maintenance dollar/hour charges are very regional.

I also have the pub and tooling to accomplish the 500hr on Slick/Bendix mags. I do not understand why a certified mechanic would not want to comply with this simple inspection. Its nice to go to bed at night knowing you have done your best to promote saftey.

There is no allure for me. I have been in several EAA chapters including chapter 1 and found it not to be my cup of tea. I do not need someone, who may not even be a pilot to tell me when and where I can take someone for a ride in MY plane. I also find some of its members to be nothing short of...

I am suprised that I have not seen him mentioned here, might just be me. I think his first book was "weekend pilot", my copy is long gone I read it so many times it came apart, kept me on track when I was learning to fly. I just ran across my copy of "weekend wings" I think its time to read it...

Anyone else take note of the new guidelines for AME's for first time DUI offenses posted by Dr. Bruce over on the Red Board. It looks like the FAA is only going to get tougher and tougher on this matter. I still say if you value your flying its time to look at a personal policy of no drinking...

When I think of homebuilding and homebuilders... that nutty professor from Back to the Future comes to mind. Sorry but I just had to say that. Let the whining begin.

When I lived in California I used to fly up to Columbia a couple times a year and camp out. Its a great place once you figure out the runway runs downhill. I could spend hours exploring the restored gold mining town plus it had an active night life as well.

I flew with a very dear friend of mine for the last 5 years of his life, as the PIC from the right seat. Bubba lost his medical due to prostate cancer, which finally claimed his life. We never flew when he felt bad so I was always comfortable with his performance as the flying pilot. I made sure...
