Sport Pilot Talk

A month and a half or so since I finished. Logged 27.2 PIC in the Jabiru. Flew the Bushcat this morning starting on my tailwheel endorsement - it was a ball. Now less than 80 hours until a

They should be able to shed some light. You could even look on Airnav for t...

Here is my question - how can one tell if their local airport has ever taken Federal Funds?

800wxbrief.com asks for the information for filing flight plans. You can save it in your profile there.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Now if the Wx would clear up a bit. Looking forward to engaging with the group.

I realise this is a rather old post, but Get Inspired Flight in Jasper, GA (KJZP) has a Jabiru 250.
