Everything’s gathering dust in here.
Conversation fodder
Taking the grand tour
I’m thinking rather strongly about taking a month or so to fly around the States in our Grumman – route or stop suggestions are encouraged!
Flying the AA-1
A short writeup on flying our new American AA-1A Yankee, which is an absolute blast and a half.
ownership
The family tracks down a Grumman AA-1A and works on purchasing it; light-sport and Cessna’s hopes; Child’s Play starts up again for the holidays.
another reno comes around
It’s mid-september, which means it’s time for the races.
the past (and future) of turboprops
Where will airliners be in 20 years? With high fuel costs, will turboprops make a comeback?
