Backcountry Pilot

Amelia got her first long flight (40 minutes each way). She did excellent on the way down, unfortunately on the way back right after takeoff we hit a huge thermal that took me out of my seat. I think she...

Flew to Mic's place last week. Wires and a hill on one end, trees and the river on the other! Fantastic place. It is Mic's birthday party saturday - free lunch - and what pilot doesn't like a free lunch?...

Great flying day with friends who bought me a pie! What could be better? 98394245

Instead of a poker run Bill Tracy proposed a 52 card pickup where we tried to land (or something close) on 52 public use grass strips in Michigan: http://skyvector.com/?ll=43.85552409503201,-85.70526122461467&chart=301&zoom=4&plan=A.K5.KADG:A.K5.34G:A.K5.7N4:A.K5.6G8:A.K5.6H4:A.K5.3NP:A.K5.26W:A.K5.75G:A.K5.2E8:A.K5.69G:A.K5.4Y1:A.K5.65G:A.K5.89Y:A.K5.41G:A.K5.15W:G.42.91389321894794,-84.47209167824599:A.K5.97G:A.K5.3F5:A.K5.60G:A.K5.49G:A.K5.C43:A.K5.41C:A.K5.2H4:A.K5.4N0:A.K5.P97:A.K5.2C5:A.K5.40C:A.K5.M86:A.K5.33C:A.K5.39Z:A.K5.5N7:A.K5.35C:A.K5.24M:G.43.34285793761036,-85.7782287631612:A.K5.38C:A.K5.0C5:A.K5.27C:A.K5.D11:A.K5.53W:A.K5.68R:A.K5.39T:A.K5.3S5:A.K5.4M4:A.K5.50G:A.K5.56M:A.K5.29M:A.K5.51G:A.K5.48G:A.K5.D20:A.K5.4Y8:A.K5.96G:A.K5.55G:A.K5.7MI:A.K5.39G:A.K5.2E2:A.K5.11G:A.K5.5Y5:A.K5.Z92:A.K5.W87:A.K5.88G:A.K5.44G Winds...

ok so not doing a trust. In my case it makes no sense and would be cost prohibitive vs. the probate penalty for putting the LLC through that. What about naming a manager in my operating agreement to take...

Having reached the end of a year I have gone over wills, taxes, etc. I have all my assets set up as TOD or beneficiary deeds, so no need for a trust. I was wondering if anyone here has set their airplane...

Saw this on facebook: http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/11/15/the-forgotten-giant-arrows-that-guide-you-across-america/ I find this intriguing as well. I would like to find some!

Lots of Chili was consumed and enjoyed by all. A short video. Camera battery died and I had to improvise. 78419777

I love the new site and find it easy to navigate. I enjoy poking around and learning new stuff. I really enjoyed Mike's article about PVFR. I do not have any trouble finding stuff.

Beaches! Haha. There is a LOT of sand now. It is however very rough. The fast water from the spring flooding and rains have carved it into moguls. If you try hard you can find a few spots that are suitable...

On my recent cross country of 16 days I did not take my logbooks. I was also taught not to. I did get some work done at a certified station and they did give me stickers to put in the appropriate log books....

Let us know how that works for you, and congratulations! The drift also has an ipad/iphone app, I have not tried mine out yet... Looking forward to some vid's!

I bought the Drift Innovations HD170 6 years ago because it had a remote and GoPro didn't. I just added the new Drift Ghost. The only problem with the new one is the limited battery life. My old one still...
