Best place to live and fly? by
Jay Honeck
I vote for Iowa City!
This just in:
"'Kiplinger's Personal Finance' ranked Iowa City 10th in its top 50
'Smart Places to Live' list. The rankings are based on cost of living,
homes, crime, health care, climate, environment and education."

Amateur night at the field by
Viperdoc
Arrived at around 2200 last night IFR at our local field, and heard a pilot
doing position reports on the CTAF. I spotted the traffic (night touch and
goes), and also announced. As I established on final, she announced a full

Hey Guys,
I'm in plane-search mode after recently passing my check flight.
One of the number one uses I want for the aircraft is to be able to

new twin concept from Cirrus by
