    What would you do?

    Not sure, as I cannot even see my neighbors through the woods. There is a nice house for sale down the road from me though. Young me would probably park on top of his cone with my 4x4 diesel, or possibly wing it onto his roof.

    Airline pilots question

    When you climb in the cockpit, do you get all excited? Is the Top Gun song playing in your head? Do you want to learn more about the aircraft you are flying? Are you always striving for that perfect flight? Do you go to aviation museums in your free time? Look at planes on Barnstormers? What’s...

    I have tasted speed, and I like it

    Strong headwinds in our straight wing Citation would slow us to King Air speeds, ahhh!

    Lilium Runs Out of Money

    I am completely and utterly flabbergasted. Note lack of exclamation mark, and extreme sarcasm.

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    Story goes his (former) machinist had to turn it down to remove damage. I will never know if that is true, but what I was upset about was not telling me that it was unusable way back when they first tore it apart. He was having employee problems at the time from what I understand. To make up for...

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    FWIW, Airworx refurbished by O-300 in 2022 and the logbook sticker specifically lists every part number including the bearings. My only gripe with them/him was calling me at the 3 month mark to tell me at final assembly he found that his machinist had turned the crank down below limits and I...

    VFR flight plans. Do you file them?

    My instructor showed me how and we used them a handful of times. I only use them occasionally. It’s really easy to do with an efb.

    Airline pilots question

    At the major I fly for, we are home 13-15 days a month. Can take off more time if desired. I love my job. In October, so far, I have been home 20 days. Seven of those home days I was on call, but unused. But, that said, when you are working you are gone 3-4 days usually. So momma needs to be...

    First Tailwheel flight + Back to Basics with POA Pilot

    Another thing to note is that every tw model handles differently. Although someone can demonstrate proficiency in say a C-120 or a Citabria, it doesn’t mean he can climb into a more challenging, higher performance tw right away. Get model specific training first. Your insurance likely will...
