I could, but I don’t. I have taken soft drinks and pot-luck dinners in there on my way to fly-in though…it’s great having that “airplane trunk”. I usually land before I open the cooler, although I could reach it if I had too.

August 5th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I would say yes, but it would be a simpler permit than a private pilot licence. DK

Hi Magic Trx,
I try to fly every weekend in the late spring to the early fall, weather permitting. I would fly more often if I lived closer to the airfield. Thanks, DK
