Hey everyone. I had a Piper Saratoga for 15 years or so, sold it a couple years ago. Didn’t need 6 seats anymore. Looking at used Cirrus . If anyone in the Mesa AZ would be willing to let me share a short ride with them, I’d appreciate it. Would like to pick your brain and experience the plane...

I see most AZ airport hangars in the Phoenix area are full. If a person was looking for a hangar or t-shade near the Mesa area for December thru March what options are out there? I see Chandler and Falcon both have waiting lists, but I don't know if those lists are for permanent spots. Do these...

Ha. I didn’t have to think much on another purchase choice. I know they are not the fastest but my wife and I almost always take out the center row seats, throw our luggage in, and go. Again, not very fast, but I feel like I’m sitting in my living room lounger sometimes. Very comfortable, Plus...

I’ve kept up currency fairly regularly renting but it just isn’t the same. I rented for a while when I first got my PP. But bought the Saratoga then got my IR. Absolutely nothing wrong with renting a plane, but once I owned one, it kind of spoiled me. Especially getting into a rented plane...

Hey everyone. I had a Piper Saratoga for 12 years, then "accidently" sold it in 2016 :mad::mad:. Decided that was a mistake. So now I am now back in the market for another one, so I will be back here bugging everyone again with some flying questions soon. Have not been on the forum board for a...

Now that's funny. Thanks for the link

We will be flying into KIWA. Some good ideas here. Will watch the weather and pick an option. Thanks to all.

What are suggestions for flight from Albuquerque to Mesa AZ next week. I will be flying from the midwest in a turbo Saratoga. Usually I am filing IFR but have heard suggestions to follow route 40 VFR. What have some of you flown and what can I expect whether IFR or VFR. Mainly concerned with...

Ha. Reminds me of back on the farm in Indiana. My mom was a straight up lady and when she would come out to our shop, I would, as a cocky 12 year old, tell her to "hand me that bastard." --- Oh the stares I got!

I was Indy to NE Indiana a few years ago- a common flight for me- and the Grissom controller was giving NCAA tournament basketball scores to a pilot he knew. Another pilot said "this sounds like a full service frequency." The controller later came on air to the second pilot with- " Nxxx you are...

These WWII soldiers are becoming more rare each year. My wife's uncle is 92 and still pretty sharp minded. He flew P-51s in the Pacific. I can sit and listen by the hour to his stories, and they are not all exciting edge of your seat stories. Some are just stories of everyday life around the...

A lady pilot I know says she does this same thing. After they fall asleep she turns the oxygen back up. She has never had them be a real danger, but they are loud, distracting, and often are trying to hit on her. (I don't blame them for that one) She says this works well. It's better than trying...

My transition instructor for my Saratoga had some radio jargon that aggravated him to no end. He flew out of Sturgis, MI and he would be on the ground or just airborne and hear someone announce they were 25 miles southwest of the airport and will report left downwind for 16. It's a small airport...

Amen to that !!!

www.siriusxm.com/refresh Doing this from memory.. Pretty certain this is correct. There is a direct line for refreshing also. 855-697-3376

Obviously depends on what islands you will be visiting. If you get to the Big Island check out Mike Lauro and Tropicbird Flight Service. Great knowledge of the Island and interesting weather pattern experience. A really great flight experience you won't forget. You can check them out at...

Anyone have pics of the Saircorp center console in a PA32. Looks interesting but I'm trying to envision it in place. Their web page has pics of the console by itself but none of an installed product. Someone told me it does make it a little more difficult for the pilot to get into his seat. Any...

This does sound a little hard to swallow. Pigeons were certainly around long before roads.

This is actually very correct. If wind is 275 for runway 270 it is a crosswind. While very manageable they are probably historically correct. I have a 270 runway most used at my home base in Indiana. If there is a wind it is usually westerly, usually 250 to 290. Maybe one out of 20 times will I...

This is very true. Some people have a knack for this. My brother owned a security alarm company, installing mainly in houses and small businesses. He always said he could tell in the first 3 minutes of conversation if the customer was seriously considering his services.
