LOTS of good advice here. Emphasis: 1. Airplanes DO NOT bounce. I’ve seen lots of old film footage of them dropping airplanes to test the gear. Hardly bounce at all. They GO FLYING AGAIN. Plain and simple. A bounce occurs below flying speed, or any significant contribution of lift...

Me three. Was a good watch!! Saw most of the pilots there after the showing at the iMax in Pensacola, nice little bonus. Didn’t know anything about it, an army bud of mine figured it all out and said we should go. Glad he did!

Whoa! My Piet is N2RN. Always wondered why he didn’t have N1… now I know. Was built and registered by Richard Navratil… small world, de N0KKJ

I understand it’ll cost more, but I REALLY REALLY like the Dynon setup. If I were going HARD IFR capable I’d probably want all Garmin. But for what you’re doing I’d actually prefer the Dynon setup. The integrated functionality of the radios, autopilot, transponder and ADSB stuff (think...

When the Sandman comes? You know, after light exits? Not gonna be able to get that out of my head the rest of the night…

Stinson L-5 ambulance… Believe it or not the Vashon Ranger seats fold flat forward supposedly so you can sleep in it comfortably. I haven’t done it yet, but it might happen this year at Oshkosh if I don’t finish the Starduster in time.

Never… ever… however, I could never understand why lead would always do barrel rolls while flying night IMC formation. Made it hellish tough…

Uh… actually that’s exactly what you do… I know tons of folks who signed waivers to go to rehab (rehab joint required it) acknowledging that they were receiving treatment that wasn’t medically necessary. FAA seems to think that mitigates something.. Look at it this way, you are satiating an...

What…. What’s all this “thanks”, “it’s alright…” stuff? What about us? Don’t we have rights? Ok fine… We wish you the very best! Us and our grumbling empty spoiled stomachs will be happy to welcome you back into the fold. No wait. I only got to go once… mods! Can’t you do something to...

It’s also easy to opt out of being burglarized. Just offer everything you own to anyone who wants it.

Furthermore, so what if the military gives you something, and maybe uses a not so standard standard to justify it? The faa explicitly uses non standard standards to crucify individuals. The military is at least trying to help THOSE WHO SERVED. They need to stay in their own lane. Determine...

Used to be common to foam a runway for anything that might cause sparks on landing. They eventually realized the foam was a bigger hazard and problem that the perceived risk of allowing sparks, or maybe it wasn’t even really preventing those. In any case, one day they just stopped. Still...

Not super challenging but useful… in a year I’ve collected SIX working radios that’ll never see the inside of a plane again. I’ve sourced power supplies, audio amps and old microphones… gonna make base stations out of them housed in nice hand dovetailed wooden boxes. I’ll build the antennas...

That is SO fake. The jumper cables would be coming out the FRONT of the car… Or maybe it was a hot fueling situation gone wrong?

Chunks is a buddy of mine. Intell type, got himself a coupla jet rides… well… Lucky guy! Ha!

insofar as abstinence is concerned, ETG does not go back 2 weeks. The same goes for peth. Joe, like the faa, does not seem to understand how this works. It’s a shell game seemingly designed to placebo the public into thinking the faa has mitigated a safety issue…. “Hush little baby...

In 1987 and 1989 if you had eyes you could fly out of the Naval Academy. In 1988 you also needed a modicum of grades. I didn’t exactly have even a fraction of a modicum of grades, so I became a Surface Warfare Officer. Who knew the culpable result of going to the NAVAL Academy would be...

And then there’s Minnesota… a bud told me his renters hadn’t paid in 9 years or something crazy. I’m like WHAT????? Oh no problem, the state picks up the bill for them. They NEVER pay late… Wow…

He’s the only guy to use in the area. There are others, that I do not recommend.

It’s not even defined as dilute outside of 49cfr40. It’s just creatinine xxx. Just a tiny bit of biomarker acumen would permit appropriate interpretation of results.
