    Trying to gauge interest and a possible price...

    Hey y'all, I recently printed a few canvas prints of some aviation pictures I took to put on my wall, and a few of my buddies told my I should consider selling them as a way to earn a few extra flight hours here or there. Here's an example of one of them. It's 20 inches by 30 inches but I...

    Cracked ribs and flying?

    Today my buddies and I did our annual Turkey Bowl, and I took a head to the chest and cracked a rib. I was prescribed Norco for pain, but likely won't take them because advil and ice seems to help the pain adequately. I was just wondering if the crack in my rib would have any effect on flying...

    Breitling Emergency Co-Pilot

    Does anyone happen to own one of these? I'm thinking about purchasing one as a back-up to my ELT. Does anyone have any experience with these watches? They're a little on the costly side, but I'm not too worried about that. I'm more concerned about the functionality of it. I know Sarsat...

    Picking up an ELT when neither tower nor approach hears it.

    Today I was flying along the chicago lake shore with flight following from KMDW while monitoring 121.5 as I usually do. All of the sudden the familiar wooping noise came on, and I reported what I heard to MDW. He didn't pick it up, nor did all the commercial traffic. It got stronger as I got...

    Flying during the 4th of July fireworks?

    My buddy wants to go up during the fourth of july fireworks and watch them from above. Considering there are no TFR's in the area, I assume it's legal. I was more worried about losing night vision and getting disoriented. Any experience with this please advise.

    Milwaukee

    Taking a few buddies up to Milwaukee for dinner. Any recommendations on a place to go near KMKE? Also, I'm flying out of KPWK. Should I even bother trying to get clearance for the Bravo, or should I just stay below it?
