Hey all, I just moved my Piper Saratoga to the Goodyear airport (GYR) in Phoenix and am searching for an A&P to accomplish annuals and misc maintenance needs. Does anyone know of a good one, recommendations or warnings in the local area? Thank you ! Jeff

I have a Saratoga for hauling the family around and am looking at putting a USB in the rear seating area cause we all know "they" need more power for devices. The family currently carries rechargeable battery packs but am looking for a more permanent solution that reduces that hassle. I...

Staying at the Hilton on the Riverwalk so right in the heart of downtown.

Any recommendations for San Antonio - Stinson or SAT? Signature and Million Air are almost $7/gal but I see Skyplace at SAT is $4.75 while Stinson is a bit over $5. Not sure if they make up the rest with fees, etc but that is a large gap for being at the int'l airport. Both seem equal...

I am flying down to the Big Easy (KNEW Lakefront in New Orleans) in early December for a Saints game. Any recommendations for good restaurants in the area? Thanks!

Excellent, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you James 331!

Does anyone know of an approved 4-point harness seat belt system for Saratogas? I am looking to upgrade the front seat restraints over the standard single shoulder belt fro the ceiling but was curious is anyone knew or had recommendations. Thanks!

Do you hook the wench to the tail tow down eyelet?

I am the proud new owner of a '83 Toga N8312A and have a question about towing or more specifically pushing back. My hangar has an upslope to it, enough that I couldn't push my Commander 114 up and most likely can't a Saratoga either. I have a cordless Robotow system for the 114 but PA32s only...

I am interested in getting some speed mods for a '83 Saratoga SP and wondering if anyone had experience good/bad with either Lo Presti or Knots 2 U? Seems the Lo Presti ones are more expensive but wondering if better quality? So my question isn't should I get mods, it's which one to go with...

All great suggestions, CAK sounds like a good stop and pretty close to where I'm headed. Thanks!

I am planning a first time flight to OH to see a friend who lives in Akron. Any suggestions on CAK vs AKR? I would get picked up so minimal services needed, gas mainly...any overly positive or negative experiences? Thanks, Jeff

I currently have a Commander 114. Wondering if a light twin (310, Seneca) is a better alternative to the 340, etc.

Okie, Did you get turned away from twins for the general double cost of singles? I really like the 340's....just wondering if it's worth it? Jeff

Any Cessna 340 owner's/operator's out there? I own a single and thinking about moving to a twin for the family - wondering if the 340 is too much compared to a Baron or similar? Any thoughts/experiences good/bad/different? Thanks, Jeff

I too have huge binders with the plastic sheets as my previous owners didn't see fit to take good care of the records from 1977 until now. I am trying to reverse that and get everything in good order. Thanks!

Greetings, I am trying to get my aircraft records in order and have a stack of FAA Form 8130's and a stack of Yellow Tags (maintenance release/serviceable tags). Are these similar or one in the same? I suppose they should at least be kept together? New owner just trying to learn...thanks!

Excellent information from this and the other posts - looking forward to planning a trip out there this summer and can't wait. Thanks again.

I am interested in doing some flying along the North Carolina coast and/or accomplishing a lighthouse tour. Several folks have done this I know but looking at the sectional, it is covered with warning and restricted areas - any advice, experiences, or stories from you guys? Thanks, Jeff

Hey folks, My wife and I have a 7 month old son and are curious when we can/should introduce him to flying in our Commander 114? I an curious about precautions to take and most concerned with protecting his hearing. I've seen Baby Banz on Amazon and just wondering if anyone has experience with...
