David There was a time (many years ago) when I’d have been… dismissive… of someone worrying so about a cat. Those days are long gone, and I’m delighted at your kittie’s improvement. Hope it continues apace! —- Was thinking about you a couple days ago - out at the ramp of T82, recalled you...

You know this?

This is a ridiculous thread - it ain't a Boeing problem when pilots roll long and try - too late and too fast - to turn off at the end of the runway.

I don't recall details any more, but he explicitly took steps to ensure he'd be banned; a series of blatantly offensive, rule-breaking, posts. He got his wish. --- Sad to read of his passing - of course he was a tortured soul, but you could surely never call him dull. Had the pleasure of...

This is a remarkable resource, prepared, updated and published by the State of Texas as a public benefit. https://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/avn/avninfo/farm_ranch_airstrips.pdf

Oh, now, you're smarter than that. I know of nowhere that paid street parking on public streest increases in cost when there's a big event on. It fills, then that's that. Are they going to charge a special toll for the use of the Interstate highways? Local roads?

I found early-on that I was trying to talk fast - felt pressure to do so - but that in so doing, I was actually taking up more time rather than less, because "say again" was a frequent result. Pause, say fewer words, speak slowly and clearly and think out scenarios in advance, how you might...

22. Economic Nondiscrimination. a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at...

True enough; but as a recipient of federal IAP grant funds, there are numerous provisions as to what the airport sponsor is and is not allowed to *do* with the airport. It's not just a toy with which the sponsor (through whomever is manager) can do as it wishes without limitation. Now, it...

Fees charged must bear a reasonable relationship to the cost of providing the services.

It's likely just mis-typing.

"Supply and Demand" is not a valid method for a publicly-owned asset. It is (by law) supposed to serve all on a non-discriminatory manner.

On the one hand, as OP has noted, the odds of it being discovered are slim. On the other hand (1) failing to disclose a known and diagnosed condition is a criminal offense, and (2) if it comes up, it could materially cripple your ability to be an airman in the first place. Bottom line: if...

Bryan: when you write, “when I increase the prop pitch,” do you mean “increase rpm“ (which means decreasing the prop pitch)?

You're unlikely to find a range combining gas cooktop and electric range functionality; but, if you're OK with splitting functions, you could easily have an electric wall oven below-counter, and a gas cooktop on top, as long as you can manage the venting from the oven through the wall. You'd...

I am reminded of the "gas-saving" devices that were all over during the gas crisis years of the 70s. I worked at a parts house, owner was an old-line mechanic and service station owner ("never say 'gas station'!"). Traveling salesman came in to hawk his device (it was placed in-line, between...

Crack in the case around the base of No. 2 cylinder. Long crack, seeping oil; not acceptable for continued use for both reasons. Definitely was not there on prior flight. Never started the engine again, and it was accepted by Continental as a core. Got my attention.

If you ever plan on visiting the state Capitol, having your concealed carry permit allows you to bypass the security screen entirely.

Aero Country has 4300’ ish runway, but the northern part is turf. Wonder if pilot was unfamiliar and/or unwilling to use the (very smooth) turf portion?

Good cause, amazing photos. when I’m rich, and (more importantly) have time to *really* clean the belly of my Bo, I’m gonna get some genuine-Jack pictures!
