    Non alcoholic beer is pretty good nowadays.

    An old-timer taught me this trick years ago. Since ethanol's specific gravity is 0.79, it floats on water. So if you let a regular beer sit still for a while the alcohol floats up to the top just like oil... For 5% ABV beer pour off the top 7 or 8% just to be sure, and viola! Alcohol free beer...

    Most Reliable/Longlived/Proven LSA Airplane?

    Only dif between the 120 and 140 as built, was flaps and an electrical system ('tho that was an option on 120s). 140As had "big" C-90s instead of an 85. "Huge" 1650 GW 150s have O-200s. IMHO the Cessnas and 1400 lb GW Luscombes, Ercoupes, and Champs should be LSA. But i didn't get consulted.

    Most Reliable/Longlived/Proven LSA Airplane?

    Great light airplanes, but the Cessna, Luscombe 8E, and the Ercoupe 145-D are each over the arbitrary 1320 pound GW limit for LSA. So are some of the later Champs such as the 7EC.

    Airplane prices really have gone insane

    Sure they do. You just need to know where to look.

    Mid-air Hit & Run

    ^^Rigid Japanese tactical dogma, reconnaissance was by land based aircraft, flying boat, or cruiser based floatplanes. Limited in number, carrier aircraft were striking force or CAP. Apparently they had not read the elder Von Moltke; "No plan of action continues with certainty beyond the first...

    Concerns 1969 C-150J

    Thanks again for the referral. A few places had most of the parts that I am eventually looking at replacing. But I've never ordered from any of them. After taking care of the transfer of ownership, registration, and the like, I placed an order. Humorously: I misread the link as v I ntage, not v...

    Mid-air Hit & Run

    The way I heard it. (After much firewater I might add.) Is that the apparition is a Jake. Tone's #4 scout and crew condemned by the spirits of Mount Fuji to spend eternity looking for Admiral Nimitz and his Task Force... Guess they crossed Sutton off the list.

    Mid-air Hit & Run

    They probably zapped him with an amnesia ray, that's why he can't remember his heroism. He was lucky, by ramming the flying saucer, he made the Space Invaders vamoose before they had a chance to suck his brains out or... nevermind... you really just don't want to know.

    Mid-air Hit & Run

    1 pm mid October, even in Alaska should be daylight. Maybe it's just lousy reporting but the pilot of the 180 must have seen something. Color? Hi wing or low wing? Cub sized,, Caravan sized, Twin Otter sized? Silver, really fast, with a big red star on the tail?

    I'm baaaaack!

    KUDOS... The flat spot on my forehead is from the walls I smack my face into when my wife says "it's just what I wanted, but I can't buy the first (house, dryer, dishwasher, car, refrigerator...) whatever... that I looked at." :)

    Do you ever sacrifice the quantity of life for...

    My parents are 88 and 95, thankfully in fine shape. My dad spent 15 months in Korea ('52-'53) with a guy. His buddy died at 23 in his home town, after serving over a year in a war zone half a world away, a pedestrian struck by a car that didn't stop for a stop sign... One never knows...
