  • CParker created a new forum topic Starlink “high speed” rates
    Looks like Starlink is looking for their pound of flesh from aviators. Just received an email stating my Starlink mini sub will have to increase 5x to $250/mo. The 400mph plan is $1000/mo.

  • Ski flights require additional precautions and ground checks. When I first flew my amphibious aircraft on skis, I really wanted to try to land on the hull of a boat without skis. To be honest, without thinking twice, right in flight I moved the landing gear lever to the top position. And then the mo
