Even though the market is crazy, I learned that it wasn't a bad time to upgrade...I noticed where the market is REALLY bad is with the "entry level" purchases: 2 place, or small beginner-type 4 place airplanes like 172s, 152s, or Cherokee 140s. Their prices have really been pushed up to...

I sold my Cherokee 140 last year, 150% more than I paid 5 years prior, and 1 day after I listed it a full-price-no-haggling-offer was wired to my bank account. I probably could have gotten more for it, but at more work on my part to get it, and how much more? Who knows...I was tickled to get...

Wow, those are some beautiful pictures...mine aren't quite as fabulous, lol. Here are a couple from a trip to the Outer Banks we took earlier this month: Detroit: Dodging some showers in North Carolina with a rainbow: Landing at Ocracoke Island:

Its the "after ditching" part that worries me. In all months except August, your survival time in the water is measured in minutes due to the cold temps...at least surface temps in August are in the low 70s, and you'd have a few hours. And it goes: low wing, track up...of course! LOL

"Just 10,000"? If it were me, 500 feet would have been fine...although maybe then the Ukrainians would shoot them down.

Living in Michigan, surrounded on three sides by large expanses of water, I have learned that GA can definitely reduce huge chunks of travel time vs driving...IF...you are willing to fly over those large, cold lakes. During any time other than August (when the lakes are actually warmish) I will...

The SSSS? Hey TSA, Nazi much??? LOL. I could guess what that officially stands for, but I would personally call it the "Secondary Screening $hit Show" LOL.

I can't find the article now...I seem to recall that someone else was upset, and you were speaking with them to calm them down, but because you used the words "terrorist" (I think) they then didn't allow you to fly.

Funny that when I had lost the link to this forum, I tried searching under @PeterNSteinmetz 's name to find the forum again...I see from an article that shows Peter has experience with just how ridiculous TSA can be! Anything ever come of that Peter (talking about the statements made in line)...

Like most pilots, I'm always looking for an excuse to fly. Kristine (my partner/co-pilot in flying and life) and I found this new way to burn some av gas: ADS-B art. I know of a guy in Canada that flies a Cirrus that makes some REALLY impressive drawings, and although mine don't quite reach...

For me personally, this is shockingly accurate:

Another government monumental waste of money, and one of the main reasons I fly GA.
