So, disregarding the large amount of nonsense in your post, you're saying that masks "trigger" you? Perhaps a "safe space" is needed.

A 6 hour flight is just reaching medium length as far as I'm concerned. It's not a long flight until you need to use the ferry system :p

I'm curious about what legal issues you think could be faced if it wasn't a joke?

Wanna go camping?

Given that he's apparently in Riyadh, not many of us may be qualified to comment :D Maybe he's from Riyadh and flying in the US, of course!

Sure am!

Correct

GPSS is built into the Garmin G5 with this setup.

The second day of flying was not as smooth and easy as the first, but still wasn't bad! Day 2 brought much more wind (up to 60kt, thankfully from the side and slightly behind), and some cloud and rain showers. So far: Distance flown: 1,984 nm Distance to the UK: 3,470 nm Hours flown: 15.6...

It was not bumpy at 7,500 - we got the occasional wicked downdraft but not as bad as I thought. Winds were 60kt out of the northwest!

Oil and gas :)

Many of them - yes, exactly that. I saw a whole bunch of posts on FB from CFIs in FL and elsewhere offering to relocate aircraft free of charge for both of the recent major hurricanes. Just because you can cherry pick examples where it doesn't work, doesn't change the fact that in many cases...

Today was day one of the trip, and it was a pretty straightforward one; Houston TX to Pittsburgh PA via Ann Arbor, MI. On arrival in PA I did an oil change, ready for the next 40+ hours of flying to the UK. The airplane performed well! Preparing for departure The lights of Houston First...

There are *so* many hour building CFIs and the like, especially in Florida, who'd jump at the chance to fly a plane out of harm's way for expenses only - and many insurers cover some of all of the expenses of relocating. Of course it's not a viable option for everyone but it would cover a lot...

Having flown over the central Pacific just a year ago, I didn't want to do the same route again. Going west through Alaska and Russia was right out. Looking east, the route north through Greenland would be getting a bit wintery by departure - but the Azores islands looked intriguing. From St...

After finally getting the 182 back to the US at the end of June, 2023, I decided to rest for a bit and do a bit of a refurbishment project on the airplane. Apart from a quick jaunt to Bermuda and a couple of trips to California it was pretty quiet. It spent a month in the avionics shop for a...

So, to summarise the trip. - What was supposed to be a 1 year trip took just a little over 4 years. A friend kindly pointed out that it took Magellan a little less time to get round the world. - I flew a total of 659 hours. - I covered a distance of roughly 73,116 nautical miles. - I visited 35...

It was finally here – the last day of the round the world adventure. We were back at the airport nice and early, keen not to be late to Zelienople as there’d be a group of people waiting to welcome us back. We snapped a couple of photos of Planey with the downtown buildings rising behind him...

Good luck, Ed and others in the area.
