US Pilots wanting to fly GA in Europe have an interesting new option: https://airfactsjournal.com/2023/09/the-european-28-day-holiday-license/

Flew to Rushford Municipal airport (55Y) just for fun. It’s a gem of an airport (though I miss the courtesy car) in a beautiful part of #Minnesota. #aviation #flyga

The missus is going flying tomorrow morning, so I swung by the airport to top off the tanks because that’s the kind of husband I am. #flyga #PilotsOfMastadon

Flying GA at night is beautiful, and at greater risk. Stay safe, fellow pilots. #aviation #flyga https://generalaviationnews.com/2023/07/02/the-pitfalls-of-flying-at-night/

Today we got the chance to fly the Icon A5 amphibious airplane on Lake #Minnetonka, #Minnesota. #flyga #aviation

Today I flew four instrument approaches and a hold, in actual IMC. Some with the autopilot, some without, and a nice mix of GPS, ILS, and VOR approaches. Stayed ahead of the airplane. Feeling good. #flyga #flyifr #aviation

Booked the Archer for some #ifr work tomorrow. My currency was getting old. #flyga #flyifr #aviation

We’re headed to NYC tomorrow. I considered flying there myself, as it’s a bucket list item, but ultimately thought it unlikely we’d get there on time in a small airplane this time of year. Turns out that was a good call, as the forecast is for icing the whole way. #flyga #buthaveaplanb

A solid go for this pilot. You? #aviation #flyga #flyifr #goornogo https://airfactsjournal.com/2023/01/go-or-no-go-appalachian-ifr/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=go-or-no-go-appalachian-ifr

2022 by the numbers: 79.6 hours, 55 landings, 7.2 actual IMC, 5.2 hours night, 46 complex/retract, 20 high performance. Flew P28A, P28B, P28R, P32R, and C150. Most exotic airport: TFFG, Saint Martin. First year I landed at Class Bravo airports: KIAD (Washington/Dulles), KORD (Chicago/O’Hare).

Not bad for this guy.

Waiting at MDW for the frost to melt off the wings and the engine to warm up. Lots of Southwest traffic… 🤔 #aviation #flyga #tanis 🕰️

One last flight of 2022 tomorrow; KMDW-KMIC. Weather is looking better all the time: should make it VFR (and my wife can do all the flying). #aviation #flyga

Oddly enough, the night instrument approach into Chicago Midway (KMDW) was easier than the day approach into KCGI.

Looking at Lakefront New Orleans (KNEW) as our next destination on our journey to warmer weather, good food, and good times. #flyga #aviation

158 knots ground speed in the Warrior yesterday made the trip a lot more bearable. I’m dubious that we’ll have that kind of luck again. #aviation #flyga

On the ground in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Easy flight, much warmer here. #aviation #flyga #merrychristmaseve

N610CC KMIC KHIG Let’s light this candle. #aviation #flyga

A noteworthy distinction between the TAF and the MOS #weather forecasts: the computer-generated MOS makes no predictions about things like blowing snow causing IMC, while the human-generated TAF does. Now that my departure time is in range of the TAF, I see I need to decide if I want to do an IFR departure, as visibility is forecast at about two miles. The MOS indicates MVFR for broken ceilings at 2,500'. #aviation #flyga

Since I need to worry about something before a big flight, I’m researching crankcase breather tubes clogging with ice before Friday’s -5°F/-20°C departure. Ours has a whistle cut, but I’ll still be inspecting it when we refuel. #flyga #aviation #mnwx #cold

Ok enough server stuff.... I'm tracking our club's 182 which is on a #LifeFlight mission.
