Hi all,

Last month I had the chance to go flying in the US for the first time, and I wrote a quick post about the process I had to go through to convert my EASA PPL to an FAA equivalent. Maybe it's of use to someone here!

There are a few...

Does anyone know of airfields/strips that have camping facilities ?

Cheers

We were bowled over by the response to last year's #FLY2023 Challenge and Russ Pinder is a worthy winner - a Bose A30 headset will be on its way to Russ very soon.

Hi all.

Any recommendations where to fly for dinner?

Nice pub or restaurant on or near (up to 15 min walk) from an airfield or farm strip which I can fly into and out of until about 1/2 hr before sunset.

Thnx.
