I hear you, it has become a literal arms race and danged expensive as a result, but only open sights are allowed. No optics, no magnification allowed on the guns in any of the Olympic shooting events.

That was exactly my journey. I shot on a pretty good varsity rifle team in college. Three-position free rifle. All the hot and heavy gear, pretty much the guy in the 'nosewheel pilots' side of the meme above. I was working towards a slot on the national team, but upon graduation I decided...

If only straight stretches of asphalt NOT under a traffic pattern existed somewhere as an alternative to tying up a runway…

I can't not post the Tom Lehrer link at this point... New Math

Your area of interest puts you pretty close to the Hudson River Corridor/Skyline Route. If you haven’t already flown it, you should.

Wouldn't Marmite be considered a repellent, not a bait? :)

A little off topic, but a great grilled hot dog variation I hit on is to line the bun with fresh cilantro, add the dog, and top with siracha sauce. For a little added heat throw on some pickled Serrano pepper slices. They’re very easy to make

You might want to wait a couple of months. There may or may not be a need for another wave of terrible boating accidents come January.

I heard they outsourced the backup system to Crowdstrike. :rolleyes:

It’s not going to be fun for the defendant.

You mean all the time I spent today practicing the signature was wasted?

We lost such an amazing talent last week The final minute of the series finale of ‘Newhart’ was perhaps the most inspired bit of comedy I’ve ever seen. You had to have watched ‘The Bob Newhart Show’ to get it.

But the bartender would have no idea how Clark Kent did it. He’d be too mystified to make the ‘mean drunk’ observation

Under has been done. I can’t find the image, but McDonnell-Douglas did a publicity flight under the arch, I think with one or more F-15s. Probably more than one unsanctioned GA flight over the years as well

They aren’t putting O2 in their SCBA tanks. Air only

I was still flying RC (glow fuel) when these were becoming popular with the e-flyers. The accepted protocol was to charge them in a clay flower pot, and not too close to the cars. They did sometimes get ‘exciting’

Isn't ownership of the truck sufficient evidence that they have failed the test?

And this one: Area 52 It's way more secret than Dugway. You've probably never even heard of it. :)

Thanks for this. I'd read here of the tragic Cardinal crash, didn't realize it was a club plane. I wasn't aware of the Air Coeur crash. I'll certainly be poking around the airport schools as soon as I get settled in there.

Thanks! I'll look into those. Felts field is a 30-40 minute drive from where we'll be, so it's doable if Air Coeur doesn't work out. I've been a flying club member all these years, so I'm selling back my (small) equity share in the club aircraft. Unfortunately not something that will get me...
