http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/05/14/opinion/14-in-flight-mark-vanhoenacker.html?_r=0 Really good read. Makes me want to leave work right now and fly somewhere.

Tiffany and I took our longest cross country to date over the weekend. We flew from Butler County KHAO to Gatlinburg KGKT, had lunch then flew back. I flew down, she flew back. We're each approaching 100 hrs total time. It was a safe/fun/successful flight, and we're both gaining confidence...

Looking for opinions. VFR pilot with about 90hrs. Flying a 172R in southwest Ohio. I generally spend at least part of my drive to work thinking "would I fly right now?". The rule that I recall from PPL training was, OAT at or below freezing + visible moisture = icing. How much snow...

This weekend was the first weekend where it really felt like a Midwest summer here in Ohio (87F+). FlylikeaGirl and I did some landing/pattern practice, and it was HOT. Since we've only been flying the 172 since January, we'd never looked into the rules for opening the windows in flight, and...

FlyslikeaGirl and I are flying commercial to STT and staying on St. John for a week in late January 2015. Has anyone rented an aircraft recently on St. John or a neighboring island? I can't find anything about a flight school or FBO with rentals on STT. St. Croix looks like it has an...

This might be old news for those of you close to the Cincinnati area. FlyLikeAGirl and I left the pattern for the first time in 2.5 years yesterday. We flew to KBAK/Columbus IN for lunch. What a difference a couple of years makes. We talked to CVG Approach for FF on outbound and...

Tiff (FlyLikeAGirl) and I visited Columbus, Indiana for lunch yesterday. Good chow at the Hangar 5 Restaurant, located right in the terminal/FBO building. No ramp/parking/facility fee. Restaurant closes at 2pm local time, so get there in time for breakfast or lunch. 5 GA aircraft parked on...

FlylikeaGirl and I are newly checked out in the club 172, and we're looking for a place to fly on or about 22 Mar for a $100 $250 hamburger. We've already been to KEYE, so would like to try something different. The other post on this board about London/Corbin sounds appealing, but maybe a...

I recently did my first BFR and got a Tailwheel endorsement in my logbook. I think these are the first things since PPL Solo and XC signoffs that I REALLY don't want to lose. How do you folks make sure you have a "backup" of your logbooks? Ideas I've had: * Scan or photograph the...

For a slightly different (newbie) perspective, this was my wife's and my first Oshkosh. We were completely blown away. We camped at Scholler and loved the experience. The people in the neighboring campsites were pros at the Oshkosh experience. We ate in style every night for dinner, and...

My daughter bought my wife and I a single day pass, each. We're planning to go, but we'll each be buying a weekly pass. We'd like to sell our day passes on to someone who can use them. The face value is $44. Any non members who are planning for a day or two? I'm happy to sell these on for $35...

I know this subject has been probably beat to death, but here goes. Wife and I are both very low time PP's. We're interested in buying an aircraft for our personal use. Mission is likely to be somewhat frequent $150 cheeseburgers (~100-~150nm), visiting our daughter at THE Ohio State...

My wife and I are both taking our PPL/ASEL checkrides this Friday if the weather holds (hers in the morning, mine in the afternoon). We've obviously never flow together, so we want to do a XC together to celebrate. She'll fly outbound, I'll fly back. We're based at KISZ (Cincinnati-Blue...
