That AOPA article on GA firearms is just as bananas as much of their other silliness. Oh Lordy… does anyone realize the amount of hunting and personal protection ammo carried on GA? There are a host of ATP type aircraft regulations, especially since guns and ammo must be brought through a...

In the late 90’s I witnessed authorities disarming a WW2 250lb bomb uncovered in a front yard in Pacific Grove California on the flight path to the now closed Fort Ord Army base. The home owner dug it up after beating it with a pickaxe. :eek:

Beautiful. I've always liked the P40 more than the Mustang, though some might find that heresy. The P40 had better low altitude performance.

A few of the composite or composite fuselage/aluminum wing planes are so slippery they get close to 6 cylinder cruise performance with a 4 cylinder engine. Tough to beat the grunt of the O-470 and the like for climb performance and high density altitude work. Always thought the P2010 should...

Remember it is a rigged test! I tell new students this who are stressing about the oral exam and check ride. Easy to imagine their facial expression. It is rigged, and rigged in the students favor. They usually relax when they realize this truth after telling them "you already know the...

You're actually also right. If GPS unavailable, Apple uses relative strength of cells towers to triangulate an approximate location. Easy to tell which, GPS is a pinpoint while relative tower strength is large circle sometimes small and sometimes several blocks large in depiction.

It's "poor man's" ADS-B. The iPhone is sending GPS coordinates when pinged. GPS goes down so will "find my iPhone" unless it's in the same proximity of bluetooth range.

Based on the tread title, thought you you were seeing 95 out of 80 or something. :7)

You're all good. Being from Wyoming you're all grandfathered into the real pilots club. :thumbsup: I fly through Casper once a year and stop for a burger, baked potato and a beer at The Fort. One of the best burger and baked potato I've ever had. All 3 times is was consistently good!

Hooker Harnesses. Brand new and LOW cost: http://www.hookerharness.com/aviation.html About $300 per seat including shoulder harness.

There’s a Vashon Ranger on our field, and like skyking said it won’t win any ramp appeal awards.

Thanks guys very helpful.

Couldn't find (L) on the IFR Low Enroute chart legend used for the Paso Robles VOR. Curious who may know. I know (L) on the Airport identifier indicates pilot controlled lighting. Little stumped as to the 2 L's on the VOR.

How was the landing at Meigs Field? :yikes:

Real pilots fly with either a GTX-345 or GNX-375. :stirpot:

With the aircraft making a jog to the left and reporting handling problems, wonder if he had lost or was loosing power on one engine. Agree with @3393RP that pilots should listen to their inner voice and take caution. It's part of basic risk management. We've heard other accident preflight...

I usually use flight following, but sometimes not if it's evening and low traffic. Still like to monitor approach incase I need their help or more awareness around me. There were 2 occasions where I realized for fact certain ATC was talking about my ship. I got on air and said it's likely me...

I do like Snap-on Tools. It's 90% of what I own and use.

Last time we saw miracle specs like this was the Raptor Aircraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_Aircraft_Raptor

Yes, the knock sensor has a narrow frequency range of vibration which is masked by other vibrations or "noise" in the system.
