Aviation Events, Great Places to Fly and MORE!

EAA's inaugural Winter Flight Fest event, which combined Family Flight Fest and the Skiplane Fly-In into a one-day event at the EAA Aviation Museum and Pioneer Airport, was held this past Saturday, February 22. With a total attendance of approximately 1,600 people and 29 aircraft flying into the skiplane portion of the event, Winter Flight Fest 2020 was a tremendous success.
NOAA brought Kermit, one of its Lockheed WP-3D Orions, to Oshkosh last year for AirVenture 2019. Take a closer look at the airplane, and learn more about the dangerous missions flown by its pilots and crew, all in the name of science.
Preflight is a very important part of any flight. In this weeks video we are reviewing some very important preflight procedures with Joel and Bob. Watch to see three things you're doing that shouldn't be on preflight. A Good Pilot Is Always Learning!
"Nice Airport, and good Diner on the field. Flight Deck Diner. Standard fare- and good- no complaints. Also NAS Museum on field. Beach/boardwalk approx 7 mi away.
Note- FBO won't FS fuel on the museum property - only outside the white line box in front of the large NAS Hangar. Or at FBO. Don't believe overnight parking is allowed on the Museum ramp either.

Flying in Alaska continues to stun at every turn, but we finally experience it up close via an awesome bush runway to explore an abandoned mine, and end up shooting an unexpected circling approach to minimums at 4am.
