    Strange Nall Stats

    Original post (on Twitter) here, but I would guess a lot of you may not see it there and am curious what you think. The final version of the 2018 Nall Report is out (here). One particular set of stats really caught my eye: These are isolated from the pilot-related causes, so there shouldn't...

    ISO Peterson (Katmai/Kenai/260SE) Owners

    Flytenow Hearing

    If you've been following the Flytenow saga, you might be interested to know they have a hearing set for tomorrow. If you haven't, you should pay attention. Cost is probably the #1 factor killing general aviation right now, followed by obscurity or eccentricity. Flytenow would give us a chance...
