Pumpkin Drop at Antique Field
By GregThis past weekend I flew to the annual Antique Airplane Association Pumpkin Drop near my home town of Ottumwa, Iowa.
This event is a lot of fun and this year nearly 30 airplanes showed up to drop pumpkins on a target in a near by field. The target was an old boat. The event starts with a potluck lunch followed by a briefing and then the “bombing” begins.
People get really into it. One year they even had a B-25 load up
the bomb bay and carpet bomb the target! Don’t try this at home!

The New Garmin Aera
By Greg
Have you checked out the new Garmin Aera yet?
I was just wondering what Garmin was going to come up with next and here it is. The QVTA wide-format 4.3 inch screen is crisp and relatively easy to use, even with my five thumbs. The screen offers a menu-driven tap-and-drag interface.
The Aera's Sectional chart-style shaded mapping, terrain and aviation databases with a color terrain advisory feature and pop-up alerts when possible obstructions or the ground is coming at you.
The 550 and 560 have chards and taxi diagrams for more than 950 airports. This is Garmin’s most comprehensive GA product yet. I have a 496 that’s made my flying easier and safer and was well worth the investment. The new Aera is an improvement over an already remarkable product line. We just posted a video on the new Aera in the AircraftOwner Videos section ( http://www.aircraftowner.com/members/profile/1/video/440 ).
