A while back I was flying a Piper Saratoga from place to place in X-Plane. I gave that up some time ago, but recently have started a similar process in the Alabeo Mooney Ovation. Starting in Half Moon Bay the aircraft is now in Goodland, Kansas, and in each flight I have flown under real-world weather…

Solo cross country complete! Thanks for all the support. Another one of these, some night work, then it’s time for check-ride prep.

Went up today to knock the rust off before tomorrow’s scheduled XC solo. Today was my first solo hop in Tampa. It was intense – big boy airspace, traffic, and the door popped open on climb-out prompting some unintended pattern work – but it felt good to be in the airplane alone again. Weather permitting…

I’ve done some troubleshooting in the sim and all seems to be working well, so we’re going to take another shot at practicing the real-world solo cross country that I’m set to fly next week. The flight is KSPG – KFMY – X06 – KSPG. If you would like to come along, there are two…

Today I’ll be simulating my real-world solo cross-country, which is scheduled for this Monday. I’ve decided to stream the flight, and if you want to ride along you may do so here. I should be streaming around 11:45 AM ET today. UPDATE: Boy was this a pain trying to get off the ground. First there…

The show primarily consist of real world aviation and flight…

Last year I did a series of point-to-point flights in the Piper Saratoga, departing on the next flight from the prior destination and always flying under real-world weather conditions. I’m having so much fun flying the new Alabeo Mooney Ovation that I want to do the same in it, but with a twist: have YouTube…

Here’s the latest stream, which was a VR flight from ESGE in Sweden to EKYT in Aalborg, Denmark. Ortho scenery and the new Alabeo Mooney Ovation for X-Plane. The YouTube stream now captures the comments in real time, so if you follow the video link to YouTube you can watch the viewer commentary alongside the…

I just wrapped up the stream of my GEG-BFI flight during this month’s PilotEdge event. There were more than 60 pilots converging on the Seattle area, and it was great. Most impressive to me was the shakedown flight for the RealSimGear GNS 530. All I can say is, WOW. This is a GREAT piece of…

PilotEdge holds another in its series of monthly fly-in events today at 9 AM Pacific, 16:00 Zulu: Nobody Goes To Fresno. The event is aptly named, as the recommended routes do not, in fact, include Fresno. Instead they are Reno RNO to Seattle SEA or Boeing BFI for the big jets, and Glacier GCI to…
