I have a charter flight from JRO to some dirt strip in the Serengeti to add, but haven't because I can't find proper coordinates for it. I should try to see if I can find it on google Earth.

Actually, we were the third stop, so I think that I should add 3 FM lines for it. :-:

I just discovered last night that there are 5 registered "airports" within a 5 mile radius of my house. They are privately registered to single owners (many of them named after their owners) with large back yards. Looking at Google satellite views, there is absolutely no way to determine the existence of these landing strips (or even a plane) but they're registered.

I need to start knocking on these owner's doors to see if I can get permission to create some fun FM lines. ^

Here's the coordinates (38.628281,-76.566276) - one can still see the contour outline of where the "strip" was (parallel to the road). And no, there aren't any tobacco farms there anymore. The path near the treeline was what tractors and farm equipment followed.

I've had my PA license while living in TX for >4 years now. I just renewed it last fall when I went to visit some friends (it's at my mom's address, so it's an okay address if they mail stuff to me). I figure the first accident/ticket that gets reported to PA will have me changing IDs.

Where do you live? I'm up in The Woodlands, but would be willing to watch your kiddo if we could make it work. Or my other half could too.

You could take the kid to the DoT; the surreptitious flick-off could come at a very appropriate time.

We arrived yesterday and leave on the last flight on Sunday.

Way expensive for weekend rentals. Like ~$125-150 for the day.

Absolutely!

I need to do this as well. Right now, JNU just appears as a dot on my FM (Helicopter tour to Mendenhall Glacier took off from there). I also have a Float Plane flight to add from the harbor to a nearby inlet (fly-fishing trip).

ETA - Juneau Sea Plane Base IATA Code is JSE

:-:

is there a code for Mendenhaul Glacier? I think that was our destination.

No, but you can easily pull it up on Google Maps to get Lat & Long, then plug that into a custom airport on FM.

GPS is approximately 58.589158,-134.566956

Not recognized in FM.

Speaking of which, I need to update it with my normal flights. Yay to more LGA - DCA. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I smell someone petitioning the Court of Marriage for a permit to purchase an Ultralight. @:-)

Since the USO DMZ tour is not available on the day we need to do said tour, I am looking in to other options. The other tour is a little :rolleyes: on the pricing at almost $100 per person. ALCO, from your experience, is it worth that kind of money?

I just found out the s/o's brother is a pilot with an 8 seater in PA. :)
