This was mentioned in the PFX PIREP thread, but I thought it warranted its own post since several of us have been waiting on purchasing. Lightspeed has this week posted the trade up program for the PFX headsets. Values look to be the same as they were for the Zulu 2. I've just sent in my old...

Dear POA, I've been going around and around about buying an airplane for years, and all I have to show for it is years gone by without a plane. It's time to get some input from those more experienced than me. I have a feeling that many of you who own airplanes may have been in my position with...

Hi folks! I'm re-joining the group after a few years absence from flying (I was living in England, flew twice as a passenger with a friend). It feels good to be back! I've got my VFR currency back in spec, but weather sources have changed a lot since I did my private and I'm wondering what...

We found this little village on the Maumee River this afternoon, and it is a fantastic little place! I am thrilled that it's close to our house, and I wanted to let you all know about it. This is a semi-PIREP, since we didn't fly to get there. It's only a 15 minute drive down the road from...

Stoic's post about aviation magazines got me thinking about this one... I recently got a subscription offer in the mail. It looks interesting, but the website is appalling and I can't really tell if it's going to be worth reading. Has anyone here looked at it?

Dear all, I'm posting on behalf of my sister, who is in a bit of a fix. I'd like to find someone who might be able to offer transportation, advice, or contacts anywhere between Council Bluffs / Omaha and Denver. Janaki is a puppeteer, and has embarked on an 8 week bicycle journey from...

This is an old essay (1993) by William Langewiesche focusing on the banked turn. I was surprised to read such a beautiful and interesting aviation story in a general literary magazine! http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/langew/turn.htm

Thanks to everyone who helped us plan our little camping trip this week. We were initially hoping to do a round trip through New York, PA, and Connecticut, but we had to shorten our plans because of thunderstorms and work. So we then planned to visit a few sites in Michigan based on suggestions...

Folks, a few of you might remember our plans for a week-long New England tour. Well, a line of thunderstorms and hectic schedules have made us postpone that trip until the fall, so we're going to do something smaller and closer this week. We're based at Toledo Metcalf (KTDZ), and we're hoping...

We're flying in a rough and meandering way from Dayton, Ohio (KMGY) to New Haven, CT (KHVN), veering either to the north via the Catskill Mountains or to the south via DC / Baltimore. Can anyone provide some advice on a few good recommendations for fly-in camping in Pennsylvania or upstate New...

Dear all, I'm contemplating a week-long holiday with stops to see a few friends and re-visit old haunts in New England. I'd like some advice about where to land, accommodations, and some beautiful places to visit that also have easy access to airports. We're setting out from Toledo, Ohio...

Some of you will know that our first flight with the kid (16 months) was last week to Put-In-Bay (3W2). I posted a note about that in an earlier thread about traveling with toddlers, but thought I'd summarize those notes, and add new details about our trip to Kelley's Island (89D) yesterday...

Dear all, I've recently come back to America from 5 years in England, and am in the process of picking up flying again. I've been really enjoying POA for the last month, and am finally de-lurking. I even recognize a few names from the blurry old rec.aviation days! Since I last flew in the...
