We decided to move the annual inspection for Atlas -- our '74 Cherokee Pathfinder -- into February, since there has been little use for an airplane this winter. As a result of the weather and the annual (bless me Father, for I have sinned...) it had been 20 days since our last flight. I've...

Philosophical question on owning & IFR rating by TTA Cherokee Driver
I'm a 160-hour PPL and a club member. My club is great and economical, but availability and flexibility are becoming big drawbacks, so I'm toying with the idea of buying a plane. It's hard to justify on strictly financial terms because the club is such a good deal, but how many times can you...
