    Red Bull Air Race Texas Motor Speedway

    All I can say is that if you have an opportunity to catch the Vegas race, GO!!! This was awesome to watch live from the grandstand with planes coming right at you at over 200mph 60ft off the ground! Watching on TV is a small portion of the action. You can't imagine how many close calls and pylon...

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    I remember posting on FB saying that plane under your bench looked like Jonas Pharr's old Dalton. You asked me "Who's Jonas?" That is definitely his old Dalton. It was built in '06 but put aside as a backup in 2008 when he completed a new Dalton 300. Unfortunately, that one went through the pine...

    That Cub has been flown that hard for yearS. It was just it's time. It was pretty spectacular though!

    2014 Magnolia Arkansas Fy-Low-In Pics and coverage.

    Bart, I'm sorry you're being called by amateurs. The "BP" calls are supposed to happen at 1am or later to wake you up to take a verbal beating. Not at 11pm while you're wide awake watching TV. And Steve sucks at drinking. Sounds like he's talking with a mouth full of s#it.

    Inside Flying!

    Thought I'd share this short clip. Michele and I acquired a new baby a couple months ago. He was sick and hiding in one of our shops at work. Being the softy I am, I carried him home. A trip to the vet to get him well, he's pure spunk. He's been an awesome addition to our other three girls...

    South Central Fly Low In

    Well, the time is near. Gates open this Wednesday! I hate that I can't come up until after work Friday, but it is what it is, and it's BUSY. I'm just glad that I get to spend the weekend hanging out with my bros! Can't wait!

    Inside Flying!

    In 2012, the FBO owned three 172s. The oldest was a 2002 172R, and it was $125/hr. The 2005 172SP was $145, and the 2007 172SP with a G1000 glass cockpit was $165/hr. They sold them all. A local outfit bought the 2002, a 1975 model, and a 2005 SP with air conditioning. The prices all went up...

    Show us your float plane thread

    You get what you pay for. If you want fun Beaver, this one will do. If you want high quality Beaver, carry your wallet to the nice neighborhoods. :D 8893=3179-20140518_200605.jpg

    Inside Flying!

    I started in 1993 in a 1985 C-152. It was $50/hr wet and instructors were 10% of the rental. This was in a USAF aero club. I had to quit just after my fourth lesson for eye surgery. I was told I'd never be able to fly. Found out that I could in 1998, so I started back. Same club, same plane...

    Inside Flying!

    Today's rates, roughly $40-$50/hr for an instructor, and $125-$175/ hr for a rental 172. It can be cheaper if you find the right person and aircraft, but plan on the end dollar being around $10K. The sound of that stings, but paying as you go makes it doable. The timeframe depends on how often...

    Inside Flying!

    Now we're talking! So who flies? What do you fly? Own your own? Me, I'm just a simple low time private pilot that pays WAY too much for local rental C-172s. The plan is to get a tailwheel endorsment as soon as I can find someone with a taildragger and a CFI cert to do it, then hoping(or...

    I'm Here

    And I'm here via your WiFi, Stacey. You should put a password on that. By the way, your hard drive had a few bugs. I fixed it for you. And you should probably delete some of those late night photos from your recent vacation. Your kid will be scarred for life if she ever sees those. I know I am!
