My primary backup/cloning software is Clonezilla.

Big fan of Macrium. Probably the only software I have supported with $$$.

GTFOOTLL!

The saying is: "true virgins make dull companions." I have done the calculations thousands of times as well as used my CR3 circular flight computer on nearly every flight when time and fuel were important.

My house is in the 100% totality coverage area and the Killeen (ILE) and Lampasas (LZZ) airports are inside the 100% area, too. There are several other airports in the totality path, such as Burnet (BMQ) and Horseshoe Bay (DZB). The ability of these airports to handle an overflow of parked...

NAS Beeville had a gigantic round "runway" with a wind sock in the middle of it, so the cadets could always land into the wind. It is long gone now. Marine Corps Outlying Field Mile Square (MCOLF) was named after Mile square farm, but it did have three runways and an apron that was nearly a...

I had a passenger die while in flight from a small village in Alaska. I called and changed the souls on board and requested an ambulance. There were no questions asked...

If you look at some of the WW2 era airfields, you can see concrete circles. They were the reinforcement for the dirigible/airship touchdown area and circled the mooring mast. Look at Houma, LA, Lakehurst,NJ and of course, Akron, OH.

It's a resized 800X600 JPG file. I'll see if a different file loads OK, then give up ;) Update: Nope. nothing works.

I found the C-150 in which I did most of my PP training in Iowa. It also has a spiffy new paint job in the Flightaware photo, but the FAA registration page shows it expired. I tried to post the photo, but I get an error every time I try. What's up with that, admins?

Looks like a well organized event. Tragedy it was canceled.

Not life changing because of the song, but what was going on when I heard it: Parthenon Huxley- "Guest Host For The Holy Ghost."

I found my STOL 1976 C-150. It has a normal paint job now, since the hideous baby **** brown factory color was changed immediately after I sold it. Cessna called it "Antigua Gold." OK, how do I resize images in this new forum software?

The local criminals have been trying every angle to close Reid-Hillview for 40 years. The lobbyists have worked their way up to the equivalent criminals in the federal government and the out of control EPA has yet another crusade to save us all from those evil airplanes and the poison raining...

I built a "ash dispersal container" out of a plastic bag and a sock. The plastic bag lined sock had two lengths of 550 cord, one tied to the inside end and the other wrapped around the sealed open end. The bag would be slowly trailed behind the airplane until it was aft of the tail and then...

My C-150 was IFR and I flew it in IMC a few times. I flew a C-120 IFR once. That was back when large parts of the Central Valley in California was non-radar and I had to make full reports. Never again!

Well, of course, we had more common sense and a virtuous belief in honesty back then... I was well into my instrument rating before I found out people were putting bogus hours in their logbooks. It never occurred to me.

I had my logbook signed by the fuel guy on my first solo XC in 1978. I didn't ask him; he volunteered to do it when I told him it was my first solo XC. Later, I don't remember if I even suggested it to my students. It just doesn't matter. Your log book is an official record and you can add...

If it was a Boeing product, they provide that display, so it is in English. It costs extra to add a customer's language. Airbus is probably the same...

I think it all boils down to whether "lateral boundaries of controlled airspace designated to the surface for an airport" applies to non-movement areas on a Class D airport. There are all kinds of tricks that can be used by helicopters to get in some hover time while it's IFR; some of them are...
