Flight Rules Satistics, better than ever!

Look at this! Isn’t it wonderful? This was taken earlier today on an IFR training flight. We were in and out of the clouds. It was simply gorgeus. Here is another picture: So, how’s the IFR going? I’m getting close to the end of the formal training. Lots of staring at this all the [...]

New: Metar Alert Titles

As I mentioned in previous posts and on our Facebook page, we [...]
