    Yet another "proper airplane for my mission" thread.

    2 years ago I bought a beautiful Debonair, a big step up from my previous Cessna 150. I wanted something that felt like the large twins I had become accustomed to in my prior occupation of "right" seating in B350s and both seats of a Navajo. I longed for that professional feel. I wanted...

    Debonair Cowl fastener part number

    Does anybody here happen to know the part number for a Debonair dzus cowl fastener. I lost one from my upper cowl and am trying to buy another from a local salvage yard, but they won't help me unless I have a part number. The only part number I could find was on the Aircraft Spruce website...

    Jacksonville Center went ATC-Zero tonight

    Came in for the mid shift here at Atlanta Center looking forward to an easy night. The telephone rings and my supervisor informs us that ZJX just went ATC-0. NOT good news to hear. 121.5 starts blowing up with calls and chaos ensues. My airspace butts up against Jax (south Alabama) so we...

    Hello again! Also, a what aircraft thread.

    I pulled the trigger, now what?

    After years of searching, I have finally purchased my first airplane. As of 3:00 today I became an owner. She is a 1974 Cessna 150M with a Garmin IFR panel and glossy white and yellow paint. The plane is and will be hangared, soon in a new hangar at KOPN. I can't wait to unleash 100hp of...

    ELT question

    Hello you mechanics at POA (or anyone that has info to add) I have an ELT question. I was doing a pre-buy on a 1974 C150 today with my A&P. He checked over everything including an ELT test. When he did the G test he shook the ELT to make it turn on. It worked fine until he turned it...

    $165 Coke

    Well a $165 rental plane and a 75 cent coke. Went for a nice flight today with my wife and mom. Plane was a Cessna 172P with a nice KLN90 GPS and a few glide slopes. $115/hour with fuel so not a bad price. I departed 6A2 Griffin and went to 4A7 Tara field for a stop and go. Made a 800ft...
