- Who knew the perennial trainer, Cessna’s 150, could be made cool? Drew Reggie and Lanie Bakeberg may have succeeded, taking their polished C-150 and making it the center of their “Fly Me to the Fun” social-media presence. Associate Editor Cayla McLeod interviewed the couple to get much more of the story.
- Avions Robin has made its share of unusual aerobatic aircraft, but the story behind this particular R2160 takes that a step further. Jay Selman recounts current (and former) owner Lee Smith’s experience with the airplane.
- Author Don Peterson starts a short series on flying in South America. The first installment discusses the nuts and bolts of getting down to Argentina from the private pilot’s perspective. There’s more to think about here than just flying over water.
- Longtime aviation journalist Ed Wischmeyer takes a closer look at the function of checklists—why we have them and how to best make use of them.
- Finally, we take a look at Rotax’s latest engine, the turbocharged 916 iS, to understand how such a small powerplant makes the same power as an engine four times its size.
