Anyone had experiences good or bad with TEK Aircraft Services in Rio Grande, NJ? I'm thinking of taking my plane down there for some work and an annual. They seem to be nice people. George Patterson Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is "Hummmmm... That's...

A couple of A&P and IA buddies of mine and I have been discussing wing rebuilding possibilities. Does anyone have plans or know where to obtain plans for a Cessna wing jig? Are there jigs available for rent or sale near Wichita? The wings we are interested in are for 150, 152, 172, 175, and...

I will be flying to the Los Angeles area next week to visit my son who lives in Redondo Beach, which is in the southwest part of the city. Most convenient airports appear to be TOA (Torrance) and HHR (Hawthorne). I would appreciate recommendations between the two, and for specific...

Things I still need to see at OshKosh: 1. I haven't been to see the Warbirds yet. I lived there as a teenager. Really neat to walk up and see a Spit... 2. Haven't been to the flight line for the airshow. Go down and sit about Row 70. That 's right where all the warbirds get airborne and good...

There was a c-150 in there in running condition. Only $6k. Only problem is trying to find the damn phone number. I'm sure it has to...
