I'll add my congratulations. Mr. Davisson has done a lot for GA flying, especially for those who want to fly a Pitts.

I agree with gellisdds and Gil. An autopilot is not a required item for single pilot IFR but is for sure a nice addition.
Thanks for the PIREP, Tom. My thinking is similar to yours -- a pilot might as well just (try to) keep their Third Class medical. I don't mind the computer based exam thing, but I wonder if my...
I do also. I discontinued last year when I got to thinking about $240/year, and what I could do with that money. About a month ago, I signed up again. I think if you don't have the opportunity to...
Hang in there. As long as you are having fun, its all good.
A lot of people like the panache of a tail dragger, but the tri-gear will probably be easier for you an you daughter to learn in. Also 1979 versus 1946 is a lot of extra years for tubing to rust,...
Are you sure about this, Bob. I talked with EAA and my understanding was that as long as you meet the requirements (not the advance registration part) you were covered.
I like this one.
Good article. Thanks for posting, Wes.
It is really disappointing to hear about the treatment you received. Believe me, it is not like that everywhere. Don't give up. As far as the credit checks and bank statements, I have personally...
You go Pilotgirlbuf!! Great report.
Have a great flight tomorrow, Pilotgirl!
Thanks for posting the video and video link, Bruce. I enjoyed watching them.
Hang in there, Pilotgirlbuf. After you fly awhile, you will learn to spot airports from a ways out. You just develop a "feel" for how they look when you are approaching them. In the meantime,...
Good news. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Wes. That reinforces what I had been taught. I like maneuvers like this because I can do them in my C-150 :). Sort of playing around the edges of aerobatics. Maybe one of these days, I can...
I think if I were you, I would go to Airventure and take the 101 course, then get the EAA video, then start practicing. I am definitely not an expert, but what I learned about welding is that you...
Hi guys. I need an answer from you experts. I participate in a couple of other forums, and a lot of pilots say holding the yoke/stick back with the airplane in a full stall is a "falling leaf." I...
I'm sorry you feel that way, Brian. I have a C-150 that I can fly whenever I want for however long I want (and have time), but I still paid for a ride in the Tri Motor. I thought it was worth the...
AOPA's study was good, no doubt. But, the CFI's I have talked to believe money is the primary deterrent It is very expensive.
I think everyone on the forums I have been on has been way to hard on Patty. She was just at Oshkosh having a good time with friends, had a little too much to drink and did something dumb. Just...
All of us that are flying need to fly a LOT more! We can change this.
Have a great time!
Hi PacerPilot. I have one of the little TV's in my C-150. You should try one. Don't have to keep your finger on the chart anymore :).
That's a great video, Bruce. What a way to make a living!
