The first four sold quickly but we got another chance and have four more on the way. Get them while you can at $100 off. $1199 total!
Finally! A deal on Bose. ONLY $1199. Since COVID there have been no Bose deals due to supply issues. I have four A30 Bluetooth headsets on the way and you can get one for $100 off. No tax either so savings is about $170 vs buying from Bose. I will also sell my factory reconditioned pair of A20’s for $895. Let me know if you want any.
Congratulations to Graeme Bardon on his First Solo Flight. Graeme took the opportunity on a beautiful day in the

Congratulations to Nick Kleman on his First Solo Flight today. It was one of those days that makes the CFI nervous sitting on the ground listening to the wind switch in direction and speed. Nick was doing great at crosswinds so the 9kt crosswind was fine for him. Prior to the first landing it bumped up to 11 knots. Things still looked good and he handled it well. After take off number two it was changing around and gusting to 18-20. Although he handled it fine, the flight instructor wasn’t going to listen to another three minutes of changing directions and speeds so the plug was pulled at two. Great Job Nick and thanks for keeping the airplane in one piece!
It was a great VFR day to break in the new engine on N295ME and start on the Fly Wisconsin Airport Passport Program. With the airplane being down for an extended period of time for the engine, Lainie and Teri were eager to get back in the air and volunteered to share the route. It was an ambitious 15 airport route with a northerly tangent by landing at all the airports basically straight north of us. That included Stevens Point, Mosinee, Wausau, Antigo, Crandon, Three Lakes, Eagle River, Land O Lakes, Boulder Junction, Manitowish Waters, Minocqua, Rhinelander, Tomahawk, Merrill, and Wisconsin Rapids.
Although we left the engine running and just ran in to get the books stamped, it was lots of fun checking out 15 of Wisconsin’s 125ish airports. Lainie flew the first multi stop leg going north and Teri took over for the southbound return. The mission was accomplished with about 7 hours of break in time and over 10% of Wisconsin’s airports covered.
Even if you have no desire to learn to fly, this is enough of a reason to become a pilot. Stop Dreaming-Start Flying!
I did a check ride in this airplane Friday. Check out the comments for the picture from TWO landings later.
Student: It won’t start! I turned the key and nothing happens. I think the battery is dead.

Time to update your database PlaneSense. We haven’t been the FBO for 13 years. You have to give the Pilot credit for trying to get close for the passenger pickup by Googling the address. I’m just glad my truck wasn’t there when they turned it around. It was TIGHT!
Brrr! Limited quantities-Limited sizes. First come-First served. Just in! 12 Blood, Sweat, and Lears Hoodies. $54.95 retail, only $30 while they last. Get one while we have them!
Do you want to see how to fill a box with $45,000?
We ran across this airport and the Pik N Pig on the TAT.
First in Flight airport at Kitty Hawk on the start of our TAT trip.
Flat spots? Hate them! It’s what happens when pilots ride the brakes or land with their feet on the brakes. It takes a tire with lots of use left in it and makes it junk. Stay off the brakes! You rarely need them. These fairly good tires are being replaced for flat spots. Short final mental checklist- Feet on the pedals and off the brakes.
