Yep. My 172N (Air Plains 180 hp, long-stack Power-Flow) had one of those Maple Leaf fairings, and it did a good job keeping CHT down. One of the 180 hp conversion's biggest advantages is the ability to cruise-climb > 100 KIAS. Even here in AZ that kept CHTs at or below 400°.

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/aircraft-crashes-into-hangar-at-airport-in-san-bernardino-county-3-reported-dead/ Article says it was a P35 (1962-63 model).

Yep, same one. These were taken over Camas, Washington. Safety first - my USAF-formation-qualified buddy was flying my Sport Cub from the back seat while I snapped pics up front.

I met up with this one in my Sport Cub about 15 years ago

I'm under the weather and staying in this week. Very grateful that EAA made these livestreams available.

AirShow Stuff does some compilations on YouTube. They have a couple of hours-long videos up now of arrivals and departures at Airventure 22, and last night they already had a 15-minute video of early arrivals this year. Unfortunately no ATC, though. I saw that too, and was following it on...

Watching the Green Dot livestream. Just saw the gaggle of Mooneys arrive. Earlier there was a spider crawling up and down over the camera lens. Looked like a bad horror movie. The Arachnid That Ate Airventure.

Then there are the skydive pilots who learned radio technique from a tobacco auctioneer ...

I love tailgaters. For 40 years I was a personal injury attorney. Tailgaters put my kids through college.

Champ and its progeny are considerably roomier and more comfortable than Cubs, but as mentioned above, hp for hp Champs give up some short-field performance to Cubs. That said, the 150+ hp 7GCBC (the only Citabria with flaps) and heavy-duty Scout have solid performance. PA-12 is a widened...

I think Song of the Sky, the book I referenced in Post #20, above, is exactly what you're looking for.

Glad for a successful outcome, but this sounds a bit odd to me: "One of the crash victims swam to shore, changed into a wetsuit and paddled back out to help the other victim."

Looks like he stalled it a second too soon - the airplane was rolling to the right. Lucky it didn't cartwheel or impact in a more nose-down attitude. I remember that 1971 DC-3 accident at Shelter Cove. It was full of real estate prospects taking a tour of the development. The airplane took...

Back to the simulator! You can get a couple of NDB and localizer back-course approaches in, too. :D

Well ... Published minimum visibility is 7/8 mile. ASOS data one minute after the incident said 1/2 mile. Just sayin'.

Per Flightaware it was LAS-F70, arrived 4:14 am local. Got down to 1600' (LPV DA), made missed approach. Accident was on the second approach. KF70 081115Z AUTO 00000KT 1/2SM FG OVC003 12/12 A2986 When they took off from LAS the destination was clear. KF70 081015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/10...

Looks like a TFR up over the airport now.

... that's not in a Class B/C/D surface area, which rules out a lot of big city downtown areas. Or in a Class E surface area if the visibility is less than three miles. What kind of nav/com equipment will this thing have? ADS-B?
