If I remember right, that grounding and subsequent ADs had more to do with wing spars failing. T-34s were a popular choice for companies offering "dogfighting experiences" to the public until several lost wings due to over stressing. Most of those outfits have switched to Extras or other...

I had before, during, and on short final. You never know when.

I posted this a year and a half ago near the beginning of this thread, and seeing this thread pop back up has dredged this memory back up. To top it off, her brother now is experiencing multiple health issues and prognosis isn't good. I'm not ashamed to say, this is hard.

That would vary on an airport to airport basis. Each has their own lease requirements. Ours is for $1M hangar keeper liability with the Airport named as also insured. My one experience being a defendant in a lawsuit involved being named as an also insured. Without getting into details, an...

I've noticed that on SW too. I always rushed to get to the exit row seat thinking others would be too, but a lot of people bypass them. I'm not sure if they don't want the responsibility, or if they believe those are still an upcharge and don't want to pay. My wife and I liked them because...

Ever done multi training? :devil:

"You mean you don't know either?"

Maybe my post had a little ambiguity. I am the Airport.

Here is an example of why an airport or FBO requests to be also named. I have a bank of ten T-Hangars, each rented to an individual aircraft owner. One aircraft catches fire, say a malfunctioning battery charger or heater, whatever. The other ten aircraft receive smoke, water and fire...

The Iowa legislature has been trying to pass a similar bill regulating drone flight over farms. It is specifically targeting PETA type groups flying over or harassing hog and chicken confinements and is being pushed by the farming lobby. We as the airport lobby haven't taken a stance because...

The one time I found myself in a situation where I needed to identify myself as CCW to an officer, he just shrugged and said, "Isn't everyone?"

They also normally fly the show 5 times a week. A usual week for the Blues is practice sessions at home in Pensacola Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is a travel day to wherever they are performing. Friday they practice at the site of the show, then fly Saturday and Sunday. Sunday after the...

The wife and I watched it last night on Prime. I have to say some of the cinematic air-to-air shots are nothing short of amazing. We knew they had been filming this last year, as there were a lot of sightings of a camera helicopter operating in close proximity to the Blues during practice...

I'm surprised how little has been made of this crash. Outside of the aviation circles I haven't seen much coverage, considering it was the head of state of such an "active" country

I've been there. Checked in with the controller since it had been a while since I'd heard another human voice. Controller came back with, "Yes I'm still here, just no one else has tried going through this sector this morning.". :oops:

I'm not going to say its a popular opinion by any means, but I can tell you there is a growing movement among even airport managers (chiefly large airports), that the current network of airports is financially unsustainable. Their thought process is that by reducing the number of airports in...

As Brad pointed out, most typical pulse oximeters can't tell the difference between CO and O2 in the blood. Do not depend on it for CO.

This is why they always instruct you to keep your seatbelt on while seated on an airliner. But like all the other safety instructions on airliners, no one listens.

I am fortunate to be the least note worthy person with my name. Even Google doesn't turn me up first by first and last name.

I guess if the choice is a broken leg or burning alive... In this incident, I probably would have drank my coffee and waited on the responders to get me a ladder.
