    Lien Issue

    Couple of things. First of all, there is no "federal lien" on aircraft; the FAA provides for recording evidence of the lien, but the lien itself is a creature of state law. Next, I am not aware of any state in which there is not a statute of limitations for the enforcement of a lien interest...

    Southwest Airliner Hit by Gunfire in Dallas 11/15/24

    Federally-guaranteed student loans (and, most importantly, student loans no longer being dischargeable in bankruptcy) are one of the greatest scams inflicted upon the populace as a whole but in my lifetime. Tuition, fees and, indeed, lifestyle, have all increased at rates that are many multiples...

    Southwest Airliner Hit by Gunfire in Dallas 11/15/24

    Ummm… it gets really hot here, sometimes?

    I have tasted speed, and I like it

    I know a guy - had a sweet SE retract, trued in the 160s all day long, but just wanted to go faster (and who doesn't?). Got a composite hot-rod with a big turboed engine. We went from OSH to Addison (Dallas) in less than five hours. Including a languidly-conducted fuel stop (we were heavy)...

    Bifold door motor BUZZ and won't open without several tries

    Is the buzzing at the box on the wall where the up/down buttons are, or at the motor? I believe that unit has a magnetic clutch that could be the issue, but if the buzzing is at the electrical box, it could be as simple as dirty contacts in the push-button making the motor-run relay chatter...

    Tires for F-450

    I have been running Cooper tires for years, and have been extremely satisfied. Never a premature failure or lumpy ride, and good life. Very satisfied.

    Our move to Texas

    Chris: From where to where? I mean, we do have airplanes. I'm guessing your new hangar is at Northwest Regional / AeroValley (they can never seem to make up their minds on that...) - am I right?

    Yes, the right answer is always "Bonanza"

    That is simply beautiful - I hope you love yours as much as I do mine! Where in this grand nation will you be based?

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

    There really aren't any things I can't do as a consequence of age; perhaps some, because I have allowed my physical conditioning to diminish a bit, but I think I can recover that with reasonable effort. There are some things I am not *allowed* to do any more. But that's a whole 'nother...

    Unfair ridicule of Chem pilot work

    I never have understood why the (relatively) basic work done by those among us who make a living in the Enhanced Application field is so often dismissed or, worse, denigrated. Calling them "Chemtrails" (or some of the other terms used by the ill-informed) is simple bigotry.

    Getting "Trapped" By AME's Refusing Fast Track

    No; you don't initiate the actual medical (do not provide the MedExpress number) until you are reasonably confident of the process, and the outcome.

    [NA] How prevalent is lying about insurance?

    It is almost universal that small contractors in the home services market have "licensed, insured and bonded" on their cards. As if. In Texas, the only trades that require a license (and for which a license is even available) are electrician, plumber, asbestos abatement, security, fire...

    [NA] Auto insurance

    Another strong vote for Texas Farm Bureau Mutual. I have/had been with USAA for decades - used to be that no one could touch their rates and service, but I have discovered those days are gone (as to rates - have needed zero policy service or claims adjusting for a long time, assume it is still...

    Bellanca Super Viking Communications Issue

    Not addressed, and I expect you are familiar with the use of the audio panel - but the KMA20 has a “Phone/Speaker” toggle for each COM radio, and an “Auto” switch on the left. The toggle for each COM should be in the center position, and the “Auto” switch set to Speaker or Phone, and thus set...

    Drop-in 100LL Replacement "Impossible"?

    Austin, TX from above - what to see?

    Lance: "Betweeen" KAUS and KEDC there is nothing to speak of to do or see; driving 'twixt the two, you would use SH130 (toll road, noted for its 85MPH speed limit). No meaningful hotel options near KEDC, nothing interesting around KAUS; it's almost as if it usedto be an Air Force base and was...
