  1. Use the insert media button, then add the url from Youtube, like this:
  2. But you will most likley need them to get back into the US. Per DHS: All U.S. citizens including children must present a passport or other approved travel document when entering the United States by air. U.S. citizens can present a passport, NEXUS card at airports with NEXUS kiosks, U.S. military ID with travel orders, or a U.S. Merchant Mariner Document when on official business.
  3. The RV parking area is being increased significantly this year. The Red Auto Parking area is being repurposed to RV parking. I know the RV-10s are being moved from their traditional area right off the fliteline to the former Red Auto Parking area, just west of the "Mustang Corral". For those flying in with an experimental, there should be plenty of parking this year.
  4. I don't recall the Showplane areas getting full the last couple of years. The GA area does usually get full on Sunday evening or Monday morning. It doesn't start opening up again until about Wednesday for GA. If you are in a 1970 or older aircraft, you can park in vintage. That's were I parked my Cherokee. I volunteered parking RVs last year and will probably do the same this year.
  5. My experience is that the lower your test score, the more questions you may get in the oral portion. The biggest thing I learned, especially when I got my IFR rating, was don't BS any answer. If they hit on a topic you don't know. Tell them that you are not totally sure of the answer, but you know where to get the answer. Look it up in the AIM, FAR, POH, etc that you have with you in front of them. IF you show you know the manuals well enough to look something up quickly, it will usually not be held against you. Just don't do it for every question. Most reasonable FAA examiners understand that you won't have the entire AIM or FARs memorized. WIth that said, there is also that one exception. Hopefully that isn't the examiner that you get. Also, ask others who have taken rides with your examiner. If you learn they are a jerk, schedule with another examiner. Most CFIs know who the good ones are in their area.
  6. The answer is, it depends...... What aircraft are you flying in with? If you are flying in an experimental, warbird, or a vintage (older than 1970) parking is usually not a problem. Although last year Area 51 (RV parking) almost filled up. If you are in a current model spam can, then it's a roll of the dice Sunday through Wednesday. Usually a good number of folks start to leave Wednesday morning, which opens up parking. Yes, but like I stated above, it depends on what you are flying. You could also go to Appleton or Fond du Lac and take a shuttle. You can request the notam on eaa.org, which explains what you need to know. Also, make sure you have somebody in the right seat too. You'll need the extra eyes.
  7. Any update of what to include for shipping fees? I'm waiting for that info before I send payment via paypal. thanks!
