Just this week I answered an online survey from EAA about local chapters. I am in the category of having belonged to a local chapter in one area, and moving to a new area and not joining here. Two...
I am offering a 1969 Cherokee 140/160 for sale for $25,000. Paint and interior average. IFR certified, decent panel with older radios that all work. Toe brakes on the pilot side. Engine about 600...
I have been on several overbooked flights and took the offer one time on the way to Las Vegas. Instead of direct through Chicago, they routed me through Phoenix and gave me a voucher (I have since...
I have our two cars and my children's cars on one account.
I just saw Syd a few minutes ago. If you haven't reached him, I can help.
I can't imagine why someone would buy it from a private person, since Illinois Tollway just wants a ten dollar deposit for use of it. I often mail mine to my daughter who lives in lower Michigan......
I have never been to Alaska (sad to say) but after a couple of years in Topeka, I volunteered for overseas duty, which, in 1971, meant Southeast Asia. I loved my time in Taiwan, and our missions...
We take the Badger usually two or three times a year, and it really is a pleasant trip and nice to avoid Chicago traffic. It is not inexpensive, however, and while it saves you driving and grief, it...
I have left my phone unattended to charge many times and never worried about it. I probably would not leave a tablet or laptop, though.
A couple of years ago in the North 40 you could leave...
I used to live in SW Michigan and also western New York, so I have a lot of experience going through or around Chicago to get home to Wisconsin. I did buy an I-Pass a few years ago... put $50 down,...

Last year was incredibly busy at the FBO where I work as an instructor. I am part time, but I managed more than 300 hours of dual and turned out more than a couple of new pilots. This year the...
For what it's worth, I just returned the day before yesterday from a trip to Saint Croix, USVI, via American Airlines. I was fortunate to have my first class passage paid for by a wealthy friend. ...
Hi, Larry. Can't justify the expense of the Bonanza on my retirement income, and my wife refused to keep paying for the fuel. I sold it in three weeks. I do miss it.
You can order them from the State. We have a supply here at Wausau... they are three dollars.
Can't speak for others, but we have been incredibly busy this year. We hired a full time CFI in January and bought a Stearman in the spring - all three of us instructors have been busy all year, and...
Walter Atkinson was leading a formation of two Beech 18s into Cadillac, Michigan, when the formation had to break up in bad weather. Minneapolis Center said' "Say your intentions." Walter replied,...
Right. Circular or horizontal wiping may create minor scratches that interfere more with your vision than vertical lines.
All of my instrument training was in the Air Force in jets with no autopilot. Then I flew cargo planes where the autopilot was used for almost every flight. Later, I owned a Bonanza with an...
As a CFI, I am frequently flying other people's airplanes, and I am happy to offer the controls of my plane to my passengers. Yes, you do want to be careful and respect the property of others. It...
When I was training as a line guy years ago, they taught us to always use straight vertical movement to clean windscreens.
Are there usually any campsites available late in the week due to early departures? This is the first time I won't be arriving at the beginning of the event.
Where are you located?
