If I were unable to have a hangar forcing my only choice to be leaving an aircraft in the weather, I wouldn’t be an aircraft owner. Many people make it work for them, but I personally wouldn’t be able to subject my aircraft to it It bothers me even to leave a plane in weather on the ramp for a...

I served in the Army 68 to 71 but the missile system I was trained on was not used in Vietnam so I went to Germany while you guys were in Vietnam. I came home on leave in the summer of 70. I made a connection in New York City, don’t remember which airport, in uniform for a cheaper air fare. I...

I’ve never seen Mogas at an airport, but then again I’ve never been watching for it. Off airport though, it’s usually not difficult to find if you ask around. When ethanol supplemented gasoline first came out, it caused many problems in cars due to fuel system component materials being...

Haven’t looked at this thread in a long time. Sorry. I did not mean that post as a lecture, rather as a friendly warning. Since I don’t know you, your experience or much of anything else about you, I just wanted you to know that. I’ve seen a number of people over the years make vehicle...

I file a flight plan with my wife every time I fly unless she is with me, in which case we file with one of the daughters.

SMU is kicking butt. Go Mustangs! About time!

I wore myself out attending all the events I was invited to. Thanks for the good wishes. My grandkids get all excited when they invite and see Opa at their events.

In the back of the house we removed two 70 gallon water heaters and replaced with a large tankless last year. It’s been wonderful and not hard to imagine the energy saving.

I can’t see how the OP’s theory could be confirmed by survey. I think it would come out very close to fifty-fifty. Out of my three daughters though, I think all my grandkids would pick me over their other grandpa, although one might be close to a toss up. Of course, I take them flying...

You would have a much better chance of finding a volunteer if you were to name the communities rather than make people look them up. I happen to know that F00 is Bonham because I hangared there a number of years, and I think FWS is Spinks, but I haven’t been there in years. I don’t make it to...

I’ve rebuilt engines in both my planes in the last three years or so, and broke them both in with Phillips Cross Country achieving wonderful success. Mineral Oil for break in is old school. I’m pretty much an old school guy about some things, but not this.

Very wise move Flyer!

I was in Germany ‘69 to ‘71. I ran a Fire Control maintenance crew for a missile system. We were a show outfit and the closest battery to Rhein Main, so we did a lot of VIP tours. The officers ran the scale, but most of them I dealt with were good guys. The radar orientations I did were...

Military discipline and Decorum is obviously not what it was some fifty plus years ago. Sgt., US Army, 1968-1971

Yeah, but I wish I could fly as well as I drive.

Are there other Apps running?

I hope one of my fellow Mooney guys doesn’t see this thread about speed!

I have been in the Huey numerous times. I was even in the Army 1968 to 1971, but every time I climb down from the Huey, I thank God that I never had to get off of one in a jungle with an M16 in my hand. For that matter, I never rode in one that was being shot at. I admire, respect and thank...

Okay, fine, but what were you relying on to transmit that information to your iPad? I would assume ADS-B? That is a pretty important link in the chain you know.

I’m a car guy from wayback. There was a saying many years ago: “Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?”
