    Buzzing houses going in Schuylerville NY

    A judge can also order him not to drive a car past her house even though it is the DMV that issues drivers licenses and the county roads department that maintains the road. The judge didn't order his FAA issued license revoked, he ordered the person to not take a particular action.

    Non-aviation: advice for selling first house

    The other way around. The only one who pays at a closing is the buyer (and his mortgage Co). Everyone else goes home with a check. The skim is built into the RE market, a buyer wouldn't get any more if the barnacles didn't exist.

    Non-aviation: advice for selling first house

    I have used the same realtor for buy and sell transactions. She was the listing agent on my first house in the area and did too good of a job ;-) - Yes, there are 'top performing agents'. It's just objectively true, there are agents who have 10x the sales volume than other agents in the same...

    Jet Transport for Stroke Patient

    Finish out the initial rehab in CO and then fly her commercial in business class with someone to assist. The airline may require a medical clearance from her doc, but if she is able to sit and is not oxygen dependent, there is no reason not to travel commercial.

    Do you regularly run tanks (aux) dry?

    In a A36 with tip tanks (and the 5 position selector), the fuel flow gauge gives you ample warning that the tank is empty. You know when it's going to happen so you just keep an eye on it and switch. The only downside is that now you have 8ft of air filled fuel line coming in from the tank, so...

    Maryland - Aerial Jettison of Cremated Remains (over water)

    More of a mental thing. If you are willing to eat crabs from the Chesapeake, some 1 in a zillion diluted cremains are not something you need to worry about. It's gonna be easier to find a plane to go out over the bay than someone willing to venture off shore.

    Maryland - Aerial Jettison of Cremated Remains (over water)

    Gravity. Skydivers have hit their head on the horizontal stab of various aircraft including 90 series king airs and H6 Turbo Porters. But that was usually the result of them being propped up high in the door as part of a formation exit or as a camera man (or if the plane was flying faster than...

    Maryland - Aerial Jettison of Cremated Remains (over water)

    Yes. A number of planes can. But you gotta have a mechanic remove and reinstall the door and a owner willing to do this. A jump ship is set up to do this either by TC or STC and you may find an owner who's gonna say 'heall yeah!'

    Maryland - Aerial Jettison of Cremated Remains (over water)

    I like your dad's sense of humor. Considering that the Navy has been dropping actual bombs into the bay for 70 years and the heavy commercial shipping, I wouldn't worry about the health of the crab population from a single urn. It may be challenging to find a plane that you can safely and...

    Need small air compressor.

    I have one of the Craftsman oil-less pancake compressors and it is extremely noisy. Just this week I picked up a small Makita compressor for our attached garage. It is advertised at 60dB and that seems about right. Looks well made in terms of welds and fittings. You get what you pay for, the...

    Body Transport

    There used to be an interest group called 'the flying funeral directors'. This was common at one point. If the FD owned the plane and flew himself, it was 'incidental to the business' and didn't require a part 135. With the consolidation in the burial industry, those types of mom&pop operations...
