Maybe - I surely get my money's worth. I pay $292/mo. for both hangars total, and for that I get daily use of the rest of the airport for whatever I...

Had it happen in a J3 at 50 feet. It really was a scramble - nose down, then nose up. Those full flap Vx climbs in a 160 Super Cub are actually...

And yeah, around here a Port-A-Port has gone as high as $26 grand. That is because, like boat slips, you are buying from a private individual the...

I open snd close the doors on two of them daily. Every 40 years or so you have to replace the giant springs. Every six months a shot of oil . . ....

Well, cancel that. I took the inspection plate off of mine - they are nested, both with the same throat. They may have been slightly spread at some...

Almost off topic - I too am hearing impaired, with only one more or less shitty ear and a penchant for open cockpit flying. A buddy with a really...
