    Personal Locator Beacon - Still Relevant?

    Just want to say it is straightforward to replace the batteries on the ACR Resqulinks. I've also seen the InReaches successfully used in an emergency situation and they seem to offer a lot. That said, the ACR seems a whole lot better than an alternative of nothing.

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    Great adventures! And even better with your father. (I've gotten the regular tour at NTPS and it is one helluva impressive facility!)

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    Difficult as it is to imagine, the last very long distance Voyager Burt made was even less comfortable than a Cessna 182 - though it did have impressive range.

    What kind of plane? (Easy version)

    Great idea!! Yep, Cirrus SR22. Everything else showing on Flightaware from this evening was not close to that shape. Thanks! (Unfortunately, after further editing, the photo is nowhere near good enough to share. Thanks for the help, though, everyone.)

    What kind of plane? (Easy version)

    You can see the blades in the photo. One is diagonally across from the landing light, about one oclock. The other two appear to be at about 5 and 10 oclock, partly due to cell phone sensor artifacts. But definitely three dark areas in the propeller arc, not two.

    What kind of plane? (Easy version)

    Hey All, This was doing pattern work at our terrific local airport, along with the usual Cessnas and small Pipers. I think it's a Cirrus, but not sure? Anyone able to do a better, more certain id? Low wing, fixed tricycle gear, three-blade prop. Fairly high aspect ration wing and elevator, but...

    Air-to-Air Stinsons (Two Tri-Motors & a Gullwing!)

    Great work, Jack, especially under challenging circumstances. "Wow!" is insufficient.

    Pilawt - Jeff Jacobs

    Not much to add to the fine tributes already stated. Jeff was truly a scholar, a gentleman, and an aviator. Our worlds will be less without him.

    How to almost die in the mountains

    Just to add to the discussion - according to the ADS-B exchange info, I know this plane and have flown dozens of hours in it. Didn't realize that until I saw the N-number, though the paint job is somewhat distinctive because the stripes are actually Mopar "Plum Crazy Purple" from the 1960s. It's...

    How to almost die in the mountains

    I agree that sure moves like a radio control model. No engine sound to tell, but the scale and movements seem more like a model. I put the still images through some software and it distorts the images a very great deal, but there does not seem to be an N-number on the rear fuselage.

    Could you phrase your answer in the form of a song, please?

    Monday only - worth it?

    Sunday is also a good day to wander around and look at airplanes, before everyone is there.

    Swan Song

    Pilawt, I've enjoyed your posts since I started in General Aviation far fewer years ago than you. You've been informative, helpful, encouraging, wise, and entertaining. I feel like I know you from your posts, and I certainly enjoy you. It's been lots of fun hanging out with you. Thank you for...
