Flew to Choteau today to bring a 182 to a friend fighting the fires west of Augusta. Really smoky from about 100 miles south of Great Falls all the way to Choteau. I was at 12.5 and the vsby was only about 25-30, descending west of Great Falls it picked up to 30+. One of the firefighting...

I'm on my way to Flagstaff AZ late next week in my peashooter 172. I'm watching the radar as thunderstorm after thunderstorm passes through the SW. The last couple of days the forecasts mention 1-inch hail at my destination! I've never flown the SW before. The FBO in Flagstaff kind of downplayed...

Hello All, I was hoping I might be able to get some feedback/advice from people who have experience in the commercial aviation field.
