Interesting - thanks. It’s dbA. The jet was loud and I’d say it would have been uncomfortable far sooner than 7 minutes, regardless of whether or not it was “safe”. The NIOSH app is entertaining

I will say, when we were at OSH, the F-22 was doing its demo flight and it was LOUD. We were back a good ways - definitely on pavement - and I was curious and opened the NIOSH sound app. 105db for one of the passes. That’s definitely loud. Not sure what the Blue Angels do but they do make some...

I bet Boeing is too…

And you have every right to do so in this Land of the Free. Just as the author, who spent 30 years defending your/his/our right to do so, does. And, yes, people have the right to insult him for exercising his rights.

Again, I don’t agree with the opinion writer. We’ve been to OSH every year for 16 years and always enjoy the flying. I served 24 years in the Air Force, including as an F-16 Flight Surgeon. THE FIRST REPLY in this thread was a simple 3-word one: “What a jackass”. No reasoned disagreement...

…and Florida Man is a feature of Florida…:)

If you have the time and opportunity, Esther’s Follies on 6th St is always a hoot but only has shows Thurs-Sat. Although it tends to “hit” a pretty broad political spectrum, some may have their tender fee-fees hurt but most have a good time. The magician is great.

Take a look in section 4 for adjusting the offset. https://www.piperowner.org/talk/uploads/editor/kr/fgkw4la43rtu.pdf#page129

I had to go look that one up. Sounds like it’s a piece of private property on someone’s private property. While I don’t agree with apparently showing support for someone as nasty as Lenin, I’d say it’s a testament to the First Amendment, which permits free speech even when I don’t like what’s...

My A&P "examined" mine on my O-360 by pulling off the valve covers and measuring how high up the pushrods came (or something similar). I think it provided a relative comparison rather than an absolute one; it showed one lobe was 0.030" shorter than the others. Then again, it may have been...

Actually, in this day and age, it's hard not to be thinking about all the selective outrage being intentionally stirred up by many, many people on many, many issues, to drive others' beliefs. Trying to point it out predictably gets one flamed - a key part of the process. Had there been no...

I think it's out of adjustment, not calibration. When I had my 275's installed, one of the actions was for me to go fly it on a VMC day and see what the attitude showed when in level flight (as demonstrated by no altitude change). I reported the results to my installer, who went into the...

While I think his points are largely technically true (if not a bit hyperbolic for some), he doesn’t seem to acknowledge other parts of these shows. They generate big crowds, with lots of associated sales and revenue (and personal income for the workers), plus recognition of the city and...

“Breck Lebegue was an Air Force flight surgeon for 30 years, in command, clinical and research positions. He's a member of WA Physicians for Social Responsibility.” Not a mayor, city council member, legislator, or anyone with any sway other than his medical title. Yet people have their undies...

Sounds like just another cowboy prepping for OSH

I was expressing an opinion about the “this is how it begins” statement, in relation to an opinion piece by a non-decision-maker. It struck me as hyperbole. Much of this thread seems to be bunched undies over a fairly random guy’s opinion. Add: instead of posting stuff on a forum generally...

I beg to differ. It’s an opinion piece by someone not in a position of influence. The “outrage” here reads more like cancel culture. Now, THAT is how it begins. I did 24 years in the Air Force. I love the “sound of freedom” and don’t agree with the guy’s position but he has as much right to...

Oh the selective outrage…. Move on, folks…

The things they’ll trade for JP-8…. When I was a flight surgeon for an F-16 squadron I was frequently reminded they’d prefer the fuel over me :)
