I've been curious because I am hearing a LOT more GA airplanes coming in over my house aiming for 16R and 16L at KEUG, so I went to see what it is costing these days for a private pilot ticket here. One flight school has very good transparency and publishes $13,000 - $17,000 for the average student, and can go as high as $20,000 for "extended schedules" where students fly only once a week or less. Yeah, and $8.80/gal for 100LL at the field's only FBO. #Ouch #avgeeks #aviation #flying

The #GarminPilotApp (for #Android and #iOS) is just sooooo bad. #Garmin makes really good—and very expensive—avionics, but the app is just a total flop. You don't even get the same app features on iOS and Android. I really don't know how a company with such high standards can develop an app that's this bad. Unbelievable! #aviation #pilotslife #avgeek #pilotsofmastodon #avionics #avgeeks

Chatter out of #Canada prompted this question from AvBrief.com: "Last Season For the Snowbirds? Canadian Government Mulls Suspending Demo Team" This is not a done deal by any means. Apparently the Canadian Air Force is down quite a few #pilots, and might be thinking of using these top sticks as non-air show pilots. Article says it might not be a cancellation, just a "five year pause." We love the #Snowbirds here, hopes this does not come to pass. https://avbrief.com/last-season-for-the-snowbirds-canadian-government-mulls-suspending-demo-team #avgeeks #aviation

Made a second hop tonight from Greenland's southern tip over to Gander Int'l in Newfoundland in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, coming back to the west coast from the EU. Five airliners (2 747s and three twin-engine wide bodies, maybe 777s?) had to line up and wait for me to lollygag in at 90 kts on final. I think one was honking his horn. RON tonight here. Going to take the Courtesy Yak into town and take a Gander... #avgeeks #aviation

Still working my way west from the EU to the Left Coast via Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Just landed at Narsarsauq, Greenland, at the far southern tip. First thing I did was put on my "Trump is an idiot" hat so the line guys would sell me fuel. They saw the U.S. registry "N" number and quickly ran the other way. Gee, I wonder why? #avgeeks #aviation #flying

Dropped off my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet at Napoli Airport last week, and rented a #Cessna 172 Skyhawk for a VFR tour of Sicily. Hit every airport on the island, and just returned to Napoli. I parked exactly where ground told me, I think, it was broken Italian English. Came back for my jet and found a small problem, not sure but I think it will buff out. Headed back to the states soon. Can I land in Greenland? We own it now, right? #avgeeks #aviation #Italy #Travel #flying

Sign of the Times, #Aviation Edition Via AIN: "The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) has canceled the EBACE show scheduled to be held in Geneva from June 2 to 4. The industry group announced the decision on Friday morning, saying that the show’s revised format had not generated “the momentum needed to deliver a viable edition of the event.” https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2026-04-10/ebace-show-cancelled-new-format-fails-win-support #avgeeks #Bizav #airplanes #aircraft #flying #travel

Sitting on the virtual ramp in Inverness, Scotland watching the sun come up after flying from Iceland to complete a North Atlantic crossing in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Going to bop around the EU for a while, but first I need to top off with Jet-A. Good price today on their virtual fuel here, $0.00/L which translates to USD$0.00/L. I just need to find a pub and a pint or three. #aviation #avgeeks #flying #Scotland #travel.

Just blasted off from KEWR in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, bound for St. Johns, Newfoundland (CYYT). Doing the North Atlantic hop over to the EU to fly around for a while. Screenshot is climbing out past NYC. #aviation #avgeeks #flying #travel #EU #Europe
