It has come to my attention that there maybe some new security

unauthorized people on school grounds. A couple of weeks ago a pilot landed on
the inside edge of school grounds that provoked a mandatory security shutdown.

The weather forecast was ideal to make a powered flight to Georgia
and back. One of the challenges was my aircraft has a very small fuel tank,
making it impossible to make such a long trip (300 miles total) without
refueling twice. Amazingly, there's a small airport with fuel, conveniently... mehr

“Today, we’re not ready to fly above land. We’ve spent four years getting it to

doesn’t actually... mehr

https://airtribune.com/questxc/blog__day_15On Wednesday I really didn't want to be in the air as it was just unpleasant.
The air kept jerking me around and although I had a low safe at 650' AGL, it
just did not feel like a day to go around the Green Swamp.On Thursday, Majo launched around 10:30 and despite the lack of cu's at that
hour (they... mehr
