Hello members - I recently joined the Association and also the Facebook group. Is one forum preferred over the other? Anyhow, I'm a CMEL with instrument pilot operating a turboprop, but I've decided I want to improve my flying skills and build hours enjoying a 140. I'm starting to network with members in northeast Ohio where I'm based, and will gradually search for my own 140/140A. If anyone has tips for me as I get involved in the community, I'd greatly appreciate the wisdom.

Welcome! And consider a 120 - no flaps, get to slip, and save 22#. Way more fun than a turboprop.sspjeff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2026 7:13 am Hello members - I recently joined the Association and also the Facebook group. Is one forum preferred over the other?

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the show! We're here to help. The website and Specifically the forum are very usable and searchable. Meaning you can spend hours typing in a subject (wheel extenders for instance
) and reading up on past posts (going back decades) where usually.......someone had the same or similar question you did.
Facebook (we do have an official Association group) is full of information, but very difficult to "search". We do have two moderators on Facebook that do their best to limit the "internet pros" from steering you wrong, but it's pretty overwhelming. Nice pictures and fun posts are facebook in my humble estimation.
For the real info, most folks use the forum.
That being said, both are informative in their own way.
When you get to shopping for an aircraft, we have plenty of experience and advice on what to look for.
Thank you for joining up!
