Congratulations on excellent airmanship. I also want to note the coffee cup visible in the first picture - quality piloting right there!

Lots of smart, technical, and engineering people on this site and wondering if someone can please help. My company is looking to finish our DD2345, an approval process used for Department of Defense contracts involving access to export-controlled technical data and materials, and, in our case...

To me, there's some Wittman Tailwind in those lines, no?

I, for one, refuse to be a member of any organization that would allow me to be a member.

Next SixPC video: "Can flying baby bunnies replace The Monkey?" (Hopefully, the bunnies fly better than Elf on a Shelf did!)

Milwaukee is convenient to fly to and more nonstops, etc. But it's a trip from there to Oshkosh. There is bus service that I've never used, and EAA used to have a ride board. Seems like it would be easy to get a ride back to Milwaukee from AirVenture, too.

Toss the top or toss the whole beer?

Both Sun N Fun and Belize can be really really fun. They are somewhat different events, however!

In December, 2020, I had biceps tenodesis surgery and a whole bunch of other stuff, but did not need the actual rotator cuff repaired. Recovery was straightforward. Right shoulder and my cars are all stick shift so I couldn't drive them for about three months. Automatic was no problem. I was...

As asked on a similar thread - any thoughts that this may drive some modernization of the NOTAM system?

Any thoughts if this snafu will drive a modernization of the NOTAM system and how the information is conveyed?

Well, those are damn good reasons! I figured this more for jet airliners, who have lots of ground movement and waiting around at big airports. Driven wheels seen more efficient than props or jets, and an electric would let you use the power generated by the jet engines. But, you may have just...

I've always wondered why they don't just use electric-powered wheels to drive the aircraft around the large airports, especially for taxiing and similar. Seems like it would make a lot of sense and seems like you could easily add an electric-driven nose wheel to just about any aircraft.

I don't know much about them and not affiliated, but this Ampaire "Hybrid-Electric"Skymaster 337 flew at Oshkosh in 2022. https://www.ampaire.com/

Info from The Longmont Times-Call local paper, with some editing: The high temperature (Wed) was 51F, around 1 p.m. 3:55 p.m.: according to records at Vance Brand Municipal Airport, (KLMO) it was a seasonal 42F. ~4 p.m.: the Arctic front hit. 4:15 p.m.: the temperature at the airport was 28F...

Hi Andy, I don't know if there are flight schools at KFLY - I just think it's a more mellow airport than KAPA or KCOS (Colorado Springs). No, I wouldn't say it's worth it to fly from KBJC. From what I hear, there are a few fine flight schools at KAPA, both Part 141 and Part 61. Sorry I don't...

I learned to fly ten years ago on the north side of Denver - primarily Rocky Mountain Metro Airport in Broomfield (KBJC, towered) and also KLMO Longmont untowered, KBJC Boulder untowered, and have flown a little in/out of KEIK Erie untowered. My perception is KAPA Centennial is super-busy with...

Very glad you are alive and kicking, James_Dean. I also enjoy your posts and find the information you share very worthwhile and interesting. Sorry life is chaotic and wishing you the best...

Congratulations! Your posts are great! I mean, well, at least they're a lot better than that other guy - what was his user name???

After thirty years of Nikon, both film and digital, I switched to Sony last December. It was a tough choice between Canon and Sony. My Nikon D850 DSLR was like firing a rifle - kablam kablam kablam at eight frames per second! Great feel. My mirrorless Sony A7Riv is like shooting a scifi laser...
