    Rachet tie down question

    I'm old-school, and I won't use anything except nylon rope. There's a reason all of the most popular tie-down kits come with it! Storm Force, The Claw, Fly-Ties, TacAero

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    My friend Connor, with EAA, went up just to take a photo of my campsite. At least that's my version of the story! Click here to see full video.

    Pilawt - Jeff Jacobs

    Ah man... I missed this notice. I only met Jeff once, but we chatted a lot. Blue skies Jeff. You'll be missed. He put together this video of our air-to-air in Sedona. Here's the thread with his photo shoot.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    I get up around 4:30 every morning. Getting on a golf cart that is covered with dew is like riding in the rain. But who's complaining... I was in the Super Bowl. I might have muttered under my breath a few times though!

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    That guy in the top left corner, wearing a yellow vest looks familiar! Always great to see you and great speech.

    Recommend me a blood pressure journal app for iPhone

    I lost 35 pounds and wanted to get off of my blood pressure meds. I ordered this Blood Pressure Monitor from Amazon for $36. It records my blood pressure and gives me a score, red, yellow, or green, and records it on the app so I can share with my doctor. It doesn't meet your requirement of...

    Airport is back open, 27 & 36. Plane crash off of 36, not in the airport. Fire is reporting no survivors.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Made it. Probably won’t work much today, so stop by my plane and say hello. Vintage Row 90 by the road.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    It's about 6.5 hours of flying for me plus the time for a fuel stop. I always like to fly to an airport close to OSH, then go in early the next morning when I'm rested and traffic is light. I highly recommend this approach. A couple of years this didn't work out, and it may not again this...

    EAA life membership value?

    Yes, a lot of people get bent out of shape about having to be in the South 40. It's the biggest complaint I hear every year. They're improving it each year, but I think it's the least desirable airplane camping location. However... the same people would whine if they got turned away. In...

    EAA life membership value?

    It's not Budd, its EAA. He sometimes frustrates the EAA staff because he requests so many photo shoots and wants to write so many stories. It's how he makes his living and he knows they will pick and choose from what he submits. They reject a lot of story requests of his that are probably...

    EAA life membership value?

    I've worked with several of the writers at Oshkosh, but mostly Budd. The way it works is, he rides around on a golf cart looking at planes. He sees something he likes, like a Pink Piper Cub for instance, talks to the owners and if he thinks it'll be an interesting story for EAA, he submits a...

    piano keys in cessna 140's, which year models? (and 120's and 170's, etc.)?

    The 140s didn't have them until 1947. Not sure on the 170s.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Leslie, my girlfriend, will pull up her chair by the flightline and watch the mass exodus for hours. I think it's her favorite part of the show!

    RTIC

    I have a big RTIC cup I put ice water in and keep next to my bed. I don't even put the lid on and it keeps ice for two days. It is several years old though, so maybe the older technology! And yeah, if my beer is cold after an hour, please check my pulse. I'm probably gone!
