They've called our KFNL FBO a couple times after a DEN bust

I get similar calls but haven't had a mortgage for 10 years. Don't know where they get the data

Somewhere around 500 hours I quit worrying much about landings. Get her down or go somewhere else. I finally started flying the plane other than the other way around

Not in Colorado - Illegal to hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance. The wildlife folks will bust you for a beer in hand and rifle over the shoulder.

Struggling with that now in Colorado due to the cannabis legalizastion

Cortez airport is closest to a motel. Animas airpark is much closer to Durango than Durango-LaPlata. Pagosa Springs is nice with a new runway. I would consider Telluride. We really like a few days in Telluride.

Depends on storage and climate. Could be a long time.

If all the upgrades have been made probably not too bad . My gen 3 3300 is fine so far.

Jabiru say mogas with alcohol stratifies and can affect the wing sealant.

Happened often in my Mooney. Ran each an hour and when a tank went dry the other had 1 hr. I did run out for real once in the jabiru but that's another story

The funeral industry has a pretty good lock on burial requirements, many rooted in history and no longer necessary. But changing is tough. Colorado has changed law to allow natural burials. So far just on cemetary is set up for it but more will come. Cost is ridiculous as are the caskets.

I usually remind folks of this one: NTSB# FTW98FA344 "On August 6, 1998, approximately 0750 mountain daylight time, a Cessna T210N, N2WF, was destroyed when it impacted the ground while maneuvering at approximately 300 feet agl near Creede, Colorado. The private pilot and his three passengers...

I believe the new Gen 4 jabiru engines has addressed the growing pains. Plus social media can amplify one or two incidents way out of proportion. Stats in Australia are showing problems equal or less and L and C.

My Jabiru does 120 knots (not miles) easy below 10,000 fully loaded. If I want to burn 30% more gas and exceed the LS rpm limit it will do around 130. Also plenty of baggage space.

I first saw him in 1971 in the ballroom in the student union. Less than 50 folks sitting around on the floor and guy in a chair with several guitars. Denver will be my 6th (I think).

The fact that the Missouri river joins the Mississippi is somehow pertinent?

I must be getting too old. He's 8 years older than me. Leo Kottke (born September 11, 1945)

Going to see Leo Kottke in Denver on 10/19 at the Paramount. My favorite guitarist

121.5 is still used by CAP for ground searches.

Hump in the runway makes it look real short. Folks get on the brakes or otherwise loose it after touchdown. Downdraft warnings also encourage folks to land long and/or hot.
