    What is "geomagnetic center" SE of KEZF on sectional

    Is it a geographical center? Or a magnetic center? Or somehow a negotiation between the two? What is it for, how is it used? Pilots need it because...?

    Hey old people, tell us what you can't do!

    Fight it til the end. None of this giving-in stuff. No whining or quitting. I was on the roof yesterday cleaning the woodstove. Planning on skiing this winter. Take your Tylenol and get with it.

    C182 v 737 KAUS Oct16 2024 RA

    Eviation redesigned Alice

    I wonder; if they get investors on board could they be beholden to the money guys’ desired changes to design? So everytime a mil comes their way, they are asked to change X about the aircraft?

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    It seems like all owners are standing out on a vast prairie as thunderstorms roll by, never knowing if the next one will get us or our neighbor - or nobody, with that lightning strike. I remember being struck, in 2020 when my crankshaft failed. It's a lonely feeling of despair. It's crazy...

    Our move to Texas

    Back to Texas: Janet and I still laugh about my first visit to Texas; College Station in 1991 - a solo visit to meet her parents and do my state boards. At one point in the weekend, we went into a restaurant and our meal proceeded. The waitress was I thought, unusually attentive: 'Fill your...

    Eviation redesigned Alice

    I feel your angst but I had thought that once a design was certified, any alteration after that was a painful and expensive process?

    Weather raffle:

    I don’t think I could lose the weather lotto worse than I did yesterday! It was reporting vmc when I left, and then many times while enroute. Nearing the airport it was “<1/4sm vv200” lol. I tried once, hoping I could circle to another runway, in case it was a local effect but saw nothing...

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    I would not have the stomach for (what I imagine is) their accident stats. And I think I’m pretty tolerant of risk.

    "US President" goes bananas on Frontier flight

    I was wondering if they still use electroshock therapy.

    "US President" goes bananas on Frontier flight

    I have such sympathy for flight crews these days. (I am) "an affirmed sovereign ruler here in the government." "I am the president of this whole godd*** country" https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/frontier-passenger-makes-bizarre-claim-093943419.html

    20' long, 100mph drone fleet; weeks; over Langley, Norfolk Dec2023

    I figured that after Hughes landed the gyrocopter on the Capital lawn a few years ago, they would have solved the issue of low & slow threats - apparently not. Seems like they are damn good at catching any of us (light GA) transiting their airspace.

    Comet from the flight levels

    very cool. I'm all for it, as long as it keeps missing us.
