    Stuck Mike & ILS Lesson

    ByBlake October 7, 2008

    This clip was posted to liveatc.net. Stuck mike during an ILS lesson. Personally I think I would have a hard time learning from this instructor. As always, comments from the peanut gallery after the stuck mike has been identified are hilarious.

    ByBlake October 1, 2008

    Porter announced today that they will be flying to Chicagos Midway airport starting November 12. Flights starting at $149. I’m sure if Meigs was still around, they’d be using that airport instead.

    I was looking for someone to go flying with me last week. I had booked the 172R (this one, unlike the S model, has over a dozen fuel drains!) for a night flight at 7pm. I couldn’t find anyone, so I decided to make the trek to Goderich solo. The forecast was looking great, light…
