Not an accident, but almost. Especially relevant to me right now, as I just missed a powered parachute the other day. I was flying into the sun at 4500 MSL (3500 AGL) and I just missed it off my left wing.

This case is interesting...they suspected the plane was drug smuggling because the flight made frequent stops for fuel, frequent altitude and course changes, and at one point turned off its transponder for a whole THREE MINUTES (gasp!). This pretty much describes every flight I've ever made...

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...
