    Young adults and driver’s licenses

    My 18 year old was there on his 16th birthday for his card of freedom. He has never had a ticket or accident. He’s currently in air traffic tech school in Mississippi with the Air Force. He’s like mini-me…but smarter. :)

    What's the mask/vaccine requirement situation in your area?

    I have been to over 20 states and 2 countries during this. The “rules” are different all over, rapidly changing and usually not followed. Best advice, have a mask in your pocket just in case. In my worthless opinion, MOST people are over it. @cowman , if you don’t find the current Bahamas...

    I too was looking for best bang for buck IFR platform. Keep a Narco for backup and the CDI. Get an IFD540, 2 G5’s and a PMA audio panel. I have the STEC 3100 and love it.

    Can USAF assist ATC?

    We have so many radar sites tied into fusion, ADS-B means nothing for us. We haven’t been briefed on how/when/if we are ever going to use it. Right now it’s just used by the powers to id violators. I’m guessing in the mountains/oceanic areas it’s helpful.

    Can USAF assist ATC?

    Yes. I took a ride on a flight of 3 F16s. Tower cleared us for takeoff, departure radar id’ed us and switched us to range control while we dropped bombs. When we exited the range they switched us back to ATC for a bit till we started the low level high speed bit where they were just talking...

    PA32 Saratoga down in San Diego

    If y’all read the linked article you’d know what happened…classic mis-fueling. From the witness that was struck: “Our backseat is soaked in jet fuel. All my clothes and everything back there are drenched." Jet-A will take a PA32 down quick. :rolleyes:

    Looks just like the one that cut in front of me on the arrival into OSH. Then slowed to the low pattern speed refusing to vacate the high pattern. :) congrats on the new bird!!

    Video - Extra 300 Aerobatics in St. Augustine Florida.

    I bet if he had a sponsor that was into the selling of avionics he could produce even more videos. :)

    I've got a Jet

    Unfortunately I didn’t have the camera equipment to hook up. I did get some quick shots on the ground. He was taking me to pick my plane up from ENW. I will do a dedicated video on it one day. He also has a sweet Stearman I’m looking forward to getting up in.

    I've got a Jet

    Have no idea but I flew over C81 today in my first Cessna 195 ride. A) 195’s are iconic and amazingly fun to fly. B) After all these years, I didn’t realize they had 2 runways.
