GaryP1007 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mackinac is on my "to do"list. Nice flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Looks like a fun trip. You should have done the VFR loop around the Falls. Much more fun down low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnicolette Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Nice video Mike! We need to organize a Mooney weekend there! That's our favorite destination. We love to just sit on the balcony at The Lilac Tree hotel and "people watch" while listening to the "clip clop" of the horses. The first time we were there we walked into the airport and they called for a taxi which was a horse & buggy. The coolest thing I've seen was the UPS man walking beside a horse & flat bed buggy filled with cardboard boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Really nice video. Mackinac is definitely on my to do list. Flew in to Pellston today in a Falcon. Really fantastic country up there! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Very Nice. I grew up and went to college in Michigan and have many fond memories of flying to Mackinac Island for the finish of the Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race. Is that a SageTech on your glare shield ? ADS-B and SVT with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201er Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yup. Not sure what SVT is, but it has ADS-B (dual band FIS-B and TIS-B ), WAAS, and AHRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pleisse Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I will be in St. Ignace for 2 weeks in August. I never landed on the Island...always WX....always Pellston. Careful, icing can sneak up on you in the summer, especially when the sun goes down. Did you go Akron, over Erie, Windsor, Saginaw, D? Or a more direct route from Jersey?

201er Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Pretty much direct via Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 SVT is Synthetic Vision Technology. I think Garmin owns the trademark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
