Mary and I just returned from 6 glorious days at Sun N Fun in Lakeland, FL, where we enjoyed the most amazingly perfect weather I have ever seen at such an event. The nights were cool (almost cold the first few nights) -- perfect for sleeping -- and the days were sunny and warm. No humidity, no...

We just got back last evening, after a beautiful, weather-free flight home from Florida. Flight time to Sun N Fun a week ago was just 6 hours -- but it took us three days to get there! We ran into this little problem with SNOW in Nashville, where we ended up seeing a lot more of the Grand Ole...

Thanks to everyone for their detailed and frank responses. You confirmed that flying tops the 'expensive hobby' list. I knew it, I just couldn't face up to it. I can see that for recreational pilots, flying is all about the experience. It cannot be justified any other way financially except to a...

I just read that Capt. Sullenberger is retiring at the age of 59. I don't blame him, as all the BS airline pilots have to endure probably makes the job not so much fun now. He could stick around until he's 65 but his decision was probably helped by the $3.2M deal he signed for two books. Good for...

Strange thing happened to me earlier this week (monday). I flew from home base at KUGN to KDBQ with a friend for a quick stop and then we were planning to fly up the Mississippi to look for some fall colors. Had a nice clear day with light winds. So we land at DBQ, I taxi over to the FBO for a...

Looking to get a suction mount for my 296. Is there a better one out there, other than the RAM Mounts? RAM has a couple to choose from. One is longer than the other. The shorter one only seems to have a ball on one side - does that hinder the ability to angle the display to exactly where you need...
