After checking out the options, I initially went for the GRU-JFK-LHR, however the airline rescheduled my flight to just a 1 hour and 35 minutes connection at JFK, I knew I had to change the flight as the tight connection was too risky.

Exploration Some trips are simply made for light aircraft. Take, for example, our recent foray to Saratoga Springs, NY for a college visit. (Yes, The Bear has reached that age. How is that even possible?) We had a 9:30 am appointment to tour the college's interdisciplinary sciences building on Monday, September 25. We also had tickets to the theater in downtown Rochester the afternoon before, with the show expected to end shortly before 5:00 pm.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Or, perhaps more fitting, love at first flight? Arlene Maksymicz of EAA Chapter 846 sure does! The love affair started when the Liberty Ford Tri-Motor made a stop at the Wayne County Airport (KBJJ) in Ohio in September 2019.

Personal limitations go beyond the Canadian Aviation Regulations. They are what conditions YOU are comfortable flying in, given a specific aircraft, specific day, currency, and where you would grade yourself on the IMSAFE checklist. Some pilots can and do use the CARs restrictions as their own personal limitations. That might be fine for them, but it may not be fine for you.
