Ah, it’s probably more a coping mechanism than anything. People today aren’t fundamentally different but as the saying goes - easy times make for weak men. A few missions in those guys were getting a lot tougher, and most of their families had just survived the Great Depression. The funny thing...

I think my family met him about 15 years ago when he had stopped at KSAT with his P-51 Valhalla for fuel. We didn’t have a clue who he was but saw the P-51 at the FBO and stopped to look. That was back when I had a film camera and I’m pretty sure I took some pictures, but I have no idea where...

I thought that, too. Literally 24 states have a Franklin County, and one Parish, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_County

So, uh, if my friend homeschools, and the neighbor needs a roof inspection, the drone guy just broke the law by flying over a private school to get that particular angle? This is gonna have all kind of interesting nonsense in the courts. And if you hate drones, just find a way to call yourself a...

Too many negative father-son stories get highlighted - this, is cool. Wish I could do something like that with my dad, or my son in the future. Awesome stuff!

Here's a dust devil out near Kermit, Texas.

Why’d you scare me by putting this title in mishaps??? Sigh.

Wichita Falls, Texas, today.

If the plane made it to NM and then refueled… one has to wonder what happened at the fuel stop. Hopefully the pilot will be able to provide insight.

If my memory serves me right, ol’ Lindy may have only had a skid! I think my Luscombe might’ve been originally delivered with a skid as well.

I wasn’t asking for myself, but to offer some suggestions based on experience.

Where are you located(?) and give me a call at the number on my website. Depending on how experienced the school is that might be fine or it might be a terrible idea.

Can you imagine how much trouble those of us in the Professional Aerial Photographers Association International are in??? https://professionalaerialphotographers.com/

For the record, I use fltplngo almost every single time I fly on my iPhone as a backup and while it’s not perfect, it is completely adequate for many things. I have a company supplied iPad with Foreflight on it that we use for aerial photography and I’m cheap so I don’t like to buy a second...

I think you’d be better off trying to become a sport pilot instructor.

Not the right kind of turns for thermaling… ?

Almost looks like a powerline flip.

Looks like he might've put the gear lever down at the last moment judging from the video. I think I'd have kept it up, after my Cardinal experience, - think that may be part of why the aircraft was less stable on the skid - but good landing for sure.

Whoops!

You already look shady here... so just go get the endorsement before it becomes a bigger issue.
