Finally got to see one six right.

I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about with this documentary until I watched it for myself.

All I've heard about on the forums that I read is how good this movie is and how its a must see but I couldn't understand why I would want to watch a show about Van Nuys airport.

After seeing it for myself I fell in love with this movie. It has some wonderful history about the area and how it got started as well as some great airplanes for those who love the eye candy.

I've never been to Van Nuys Airport but I think that it will be a stop on my list of places to see after I finish my PP ASEL this year.

If you haven't seen it I suggest that you get your copy today.

These pilots have really earned their pay today!

Watch as airliners face some of the worst winds that I've ever seen. I hope that the planes that I've flown on haven't ever needed to be handled like this. Be glad you can't see outside very well on landing....you might never fly again if this happened to you.



See the video! digg story

6 flights scheduled, 6 cancelled due to weather

Its just one of those days for me today, I've made 6 attempts to get in to the air and every time I schedule a lesson the weather goes to hell.

I've been so busy lately and every work day has been a wonderful day to fly, I had today off and thewind was gusting from 14 to 22knts.

Not good for a cessna 152.

I guess I'll try again next week, wish me luck!

Share some info on your favorite place to fly to.

I'm trying to put together a list of places in and around Washington state to fly to for the day.

Please help me out by telling us all about your favorite places to visit on a lazy Sunday or a long weekend.

If you include an airport identifier or a photo I will include it on my main site with credit and a link going to you.

I'm looking for airport information, restaurants, vacation spots and any other place that general aviation pilots might go when they have the chance.

You can offer up info on any place that you like, it doesn't just need to be local to me.

Help us all out by sharing ideas about where to go!
