Another classic down. https://www.aviation-safety.net/wikibase/302203 RIP

I liked the old taxiway name scheme. As long as the instructions included "the stub" it was fairly easy to find your routing

Ah, that explains it. Thanks again.

Thanks. I need to work on my google-fu (or not use DuckDuckGo. What did you use for the search?

I'm trying to identify the make and model of the car Atticus Pund rides around in in Magpie Murders. A Morris Minor comes to mind-anyone know for sure?

They still have a web site that is interesting reading: https://www.horten-aircraft.com/en/the-history/

Yup, some of the wines he did drink were from there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Coast_Wine_Services

Use a map program for driving directions from each airport to her address to see the closest time wise. Of course time of day matters as far as traffic is concerned, the major roads jam up at rush hour.

Depending on the time of year Ramona can be quite busy with fire fighting operations since it's a CalFire air attack base. Ground transportation might not be as easy to arrange as SEE (Gillespie) or MYF (Montgomery Gibbs). I would rule out CRQ (Palomar) due to single runway and lots of traffic...

With temps 40-50F, light mist, damp taxiway, close temp/dewpoint spread, do you use carb heat on the ground? For takeoff and climb out? Does little Continental or Lycoming matter? My previous employer required engine heat on any time there was visible moisture and temperature was below 10C...

More time yet, take a jet.

My service manual specifies safety wiring a turnbuckle per MS33591 which is the double warp method in 43-13-1B. Doing that in the space available is "challenging". MS33591 also says for designs after 1 May 67 to use the clip method for safetying. Can the MS clip style turnbuckles be...

This weekend it looks like there may be an air show TFR off Huntington Beach. SOCAL will still let you use the coastal routing by avoiding the TFR off shore, at least as of this afternoon. It extends 5 miles from the pier. (Make sure you have the TFR depicted with how you’re navigating)

OCN direct KMYF will require a Bravo clearance. You can avoid that by going OCN-VPSMS (Mount Soledad) and keeping under the Bravo shelf. If you do that, plan on flying south of Mt. Soledad toward Mission Bay to enter a left downwind for 28L. If not using flight following after the coastal...

And if you would like some video with commentary:

Same here for 3 1/2 years and no problems. I get a report every couple of weeks though just to confirm it's still working ok.
