Re: Question about Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander crash in Rom
Thankfully I've never been involved in a SAR for a downed aircraft. But I have gone looking for missing or lost hikers here in the Appalachians. It can be exceedingly difficult to find someone even if you have a pretty decent idea of where they are. When looking at a map the direct distance from one...

Re: Hello
Lexington is about a two and a half hour drive for me. While doable, not ideal. I agree that a drawback to the Sport Pilot is lack of availability of light sport aircraft. But flying a modern aircraft with glass cockpit appeals to me, so the older certified aircraft don't really fit for me either. I...

There is a wealth of information to be found in this forum and I am very thankful for all of it. Now, a little about me. I am probably not all that u...
