Primary goal is to be a safe and proficient pilot. Finish up my PPL and fly at least 2 hours a week. My Children , Grand children and Great Grand children are looking forward to their first plane ride. This area has some beautiful and varied topographical areas to be flown. The triple divide area needs some exploration . Hikers in Glacier Park see it on foot , My wish is to over fly it.
No reservations needed, but it could be that field is full or flooded and they’ll close to new arrivals. You need to pay to park and camp and you’ll need to pay to attend also. Take a look at airventure.com. Also, review 2019’s NOTAM so you’ll have and idea on what to expect when the 2021 version comes out and be sure to follow it when you arrive. Take a look at YouTube for arrival tutorials. Take a look at old threads here under Cool Places to Fly for other’s experiences. We’d love to see you at the parties. Oshkosh is one-off the coolest things you can do as an aviator!!
Meet up with some PoA’ers/BT’ers! Fly more (I just saw my trailing 12 months and it seems I barely flew) Fly into/camp @ Oshkosh Hit up the Rockies or West Coast (was postponed due to COVID and fires) Start my Commercial Get one step closer to ownership
Enjoy a year without any obligations to fly. Maybe do my tailwheel endorsement or SES rating if I feel like it. Both are things I’ve wanted to do since getting my private nearly 13 years ago but then I got distracted with shiny twins and flying dogs.
Cover Super Cub project Fly more than 132.6 hours Regain instrument proficiency Fly to Oshkosh Fly Lance to MN to pickup engine for Super Cub Fly some Angel Flights
Hoping to stay healthy and continue flying. Might finally do tailwheel. And to do sun n fun ,and osh.
MEI, keep building time ASES for fun if I have the money laying around to pay cash (well, credit card for the reward points, but you get the idea)
Find a heated hangar thats reasonability priced. How can people handle unheated hangars... Have an annual that doesnt turn into a decent used car price range Finally fly to the east coast. I bought the plane in Cali and flew it back, so I want to hit the other coast in it.
Now that my archer has passed annual and been deemed to be in excellent condition, it is time to do the avionics. Move the GTN 530 over, make room for the 750xi, remove vacuum system and install two GI-275's, convert to all LED lighting. Upgrade transponder to GTX345, and install GMA35c remote audio panel. By spring she will be one sweet bird!
That sounds like it is going to be one sweet Archer when it is all said and done. Be sure to post before/after photos!
I got 112 hours in 2020, mostly in the Sonerai. For 2021, I want to match that, and get the fuselage finished and engine hung on the RV-8. The new Superior crankshaft AD means I’ll have to tear down my engine and put it back together before I can hang it. That’s assuming I can even get parts.
