I want to hear what ACTUALLY happened. My family is still in KC and, while they didn’t attend this years parade, they have gone to the last 2. What I AM hearing is that civilians tackled and disarmed at least one of the suspects. Not sure about the others. Was this just a gang shooting in...

So it turned out that the crankshaft seal was so loose it could be wiggled with a finger. There was NO sealant around the seal. It has been replaced and sealed and we are on our way again tomorrow!

I mean if some of US had been at the controls, maybe it would have been grueling, but with every bell and whistle known to the aviation community at her disposal, the money to hire the best pilots, and, oh yeah, the silk sheets. Idk if we can call that grueling. In case this isn't sarcasm, TS...

As one who grew up in Kansas City, I found it exciting, nerve-wracking, and overall one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever. SF played well enough to win and so did KC. Neither was dominant, both had mistakes from key players (CMC fumble, Pacheco fumble, Mahomes pick, blocked XP), and both...

That's what we were doing - deferring until annual when we were going to take care of it. Not sure what we'll do now. I reckon we'll find out more tomorrow when the local A&P can look at it.

I'm currently stranded at KBQK due to a VERY similar sounding issue. Very little bit of oil streaking back along the cowling for the last year+ and the three A&Ps who have looked at it suggest a leaking crankshaft seal. They've told us it isn't a big deal, so we planned to have it replaced at...

I mean, while we're at it, let's point out that Boeing has been in the news for a long time. MH370 was a Boeing and so was TWA 800. When you are the largest aerospace company in the world (until the 2019 MAX groundings when Airbus took the top spot), statistically, you are probably also going to...

As a life long diehard chiefs fan…I love this!

Prop is spinning the wrong way.

I feel like this is really drawing out the silver lining. https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/avo/d/kent-mccauley-aircraft-propeller-blade/7711601856.html So next time you have a prop strike…..

To drive back home is about 17hrs. Flight time in a 172 is about 9 hrs plus 2 fuel stops, so call it 10 with quick stops (fill one tank, empty the other, and in flight snacks). Commercial, I can drive 1.5 to the airport, roughly 6 hours total flight time, including layover, then 1 hr on the...

I’ve only been flying since 2020, but my instructor for PPL required paper for XC planning. Just took my Commercial ride. I asked the examiner if I needed papers or if digital was ok. He said digital was ok, but still made me reference paper sectionals during the oral. (I brought NY and Detroit...

It’s a stretch to call it New England, but Dr. Sam Shrack is based out of Williamsport and the local FBO (at KIPT) will let you use a crew car to go to the appt. (At least that have in the past.) He is a GA pilot too, so very easy to work with.

Shot 4 approaches in IMC tonight. Almost unheard of for January in PA!

I’m just trying to think through the “Swiss cheese scenario” where all the holes line up. So, class E gets a new tower. Cool! Normally, you just keep the UNICOM and/or CTAF freq for the new tower, but in our area, several non-towered fields share a 122.7/122.8 resulting in New Class D getting...

Just a thought (as a LEO/gun guy) yes, they 100% could add the effects in post, but you can’t accurately simulate recoil of the wrists by “faking.” Your wrists absorb some recoil before the firearm starts to “break” upwards, but when people simulate, they usually make that upward motion too...

Tacked on my CSEL today. It's been a wild Part 61 ride in the last 3 or so years since my first lesson. Now to start prepping for CFI and CFII hopefully in March/April!

Based on that, if you were drinking and they tried to stop you, they would owe you up to $1000.

In the current political climate, I’m surprised there was no tie to either past or present administrations! “Both planes were made by Boeing, which is the same kind of plane that [insert head of executive branch here] uses. Since they [were/are] very [good/bad] for our economy (not that that...
