Well first I should clarify. This is not a crosswind landing slip but a slip to reduce altitude prior to landing and/or knock down some speed. We were flying last night and Kari wanted to practice a simulated engine fire. We setup at 3500agl directly over our sleepy airport. No planes in the...

Definitely no Hudson Corridor but was fun none the less. Our local photog (Dmitry) snapped a bunch and here are the first 2. The Mississippi was almost dead calm so nice water reflections. It was busy and we weren't cleared into the Bravo so lots of 1200agl after dark with with several vectors...

Lets say hypothetically the first government approved Covid vaccine is released on January 1st 2021. Lets also say you have immediate access to the vaccine so no arguments about having to wait or supply issues. Its your decision. When would you and your family take the vaccine?

Sounds like the crash site was really bad but they found both survivors a ways from the crash. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.wd...cies-plane-crash-eveleth-airport-5783147.html

In Minnesota if you want to see something other than fields, trees and lakes you either need to fly northeast to Lake Superior or southeast along the Mississippi River. With the daughter up at Grandmas, a free morning and a perfect wx day we decided to fly up to Two Harbors and overfly Duluth...

While perusing busier bigger airports to see how many small GA planes have been doing landings I spotted this Cessna 182 at KPDX. First off, very interesting N Number given it's in Oregon. Second, quite the flight path each night. Looks like always after sunset. Always the same general...

Does anyone have a good VFR route to go from the Rapid City area to Jackson? It would seem there would be a route or two to get through the mountains following roads, etc but nothing seems immediately obvious. This would be for a Cessna 182 and/or Archer 180. Neither have onboard O2 so trying to...

Edit: Please see @champ driver 's post # 4 for an excellent backstory on the building and location! I think this one opened a few months ago. On Saturday it was St.Patrick's day which also happens to be our Anniversary :) Our old 182 is green and white and downtown St.Paul seemed fitting! We...

I was wondering if any of the EFB's have a real-time Bravo entry warning feature? I see on Garmin Pilot I can add a alert with a distance to a waypoint. When my wife (PIC), daughter and I have been flying I tried it out for nearing our destination...call it a descent waypoint. Worked sort of...
