Ah, but that is not what I said. Water is necessary for life. Drink enough and you die from an electrolyte imbalance. Alcohol, especially red wine, has been shown to be beneficial to heart health. Drink enough and you die from liver disease. Food is required for life. Eat too much and you...

George Burns lived to 100... Late in life he dedicated his autobiography to the widow of the doctor who told him to quit smoking, and to the widow who told him to stop drinking, and to the widow of the doctor who told him to get more exercise. Aristotle said we should seek a mean. Who has...

My $0.02, never send anyone your only copy of anything. Things get lost, misplaced, destroyed... The FAA is the only one who might need YOUR original logs.

Since you brought up the open cockpit Polikarpov, this was the light fabric covered biplane that the "NightWitches" used as a (very) light nightime bomber on the Eastern Front during WW2. Female pilots stationed directly behind the front lines flew multiple-- sometimes six or eight per night--...

So... the US gave QUANTAS (QUeensland And Northern Territories Air Sevice) several PB5Ys that they used on the "Double Sunrise" flights from Perth to East Africa and connecting with flights to England. After the war the Aussies took those beautiful flying boats out and sank them in the ocean...

On a windy day the guy who checked me out flew a Colt BACKWARDS into a stiff breeze. I've done it as well.

Flew 'em in Cuba and Guatemala years ago. They takeoff and land slow, and you can land them three point in a small parking lot by going into a controlled stall and just mushing in... Fun airplane.

Zero cam issues while sitting, and engine not running... Occasional issues once engine starts...

A former boss did this 35 years ago with chalk and a dark blue painted bathroom door.

Thanks for the link. Getting it pretty isn't the top priority, but I figure a piece here and there now and again will improve the looks without too much disruption. It's not horrible considering it's age. We'll see what is repairable and what isn't, a couple panels are equal part tape and...

Pretty much. You just need a big roll of duct tape... Looking at the McFarlane website... :)

Tower: Tower’s radio clearance, over! Captain Oveur: That’s Clarence Oveur. Over. Tower: Over. Captain Oveur: Roger. Roger Murdock: Huh? Tower: Roger, over! Roger Murdock: What? Captain Oveur: Huh? Victor Basta: Who? Lou: I don't know! Bud: Third base...

Apparently, it was an E-AB pressurized Cessna 210... "Yeah, but: 'spins aren't really recoverable.'" Ever see the video where the law professor has an undergrad run into a lecture hall wearing a gorilla costume? The students could not accurately recall the series of events.

RIP, The knowledge of reporters is amazing*. Converted to jet fuel... Huh... Hopefully with a turbine engine installation, but... * -ly low...

I should see if I can find out what was paid for "my" airplane new. I'm sure it has benefited from several times that many dollars in maintenance over the years, even with inflation dropped out of the equation. The people I know tend to run automobiles until a major failure, perhaps changing...

A somewhat long-ish, smooth, but not lightened double action trigger pull on a snub nose revolver is an effective safety. So long as the cartridges were properly crimped I imagine it would fire underwater as well, since water could enter all parts of the weapon rather easily. No, I don't...

Is that with or without brains. I ask because they seem to be "optional equipment." :)

And 100% of the automobile ads thar I have seen display unsafe driving practices. So let's ban cars... What? That would be stupid, because automobiles are just tools. They don't decide how or where they are driven. Civilization is better for having transportation... So we teach kids. I am...

The ACTUAL AD on each of the items pertinent to my aircraft is not over two pages. Most are one. BUT each one online now contains pages of crap which in many cases have been retroactively appended to the AD. (Paperwork reduction act, cost benefit analysis, public comments, non-discriminaton...

The owner before the guy I'm buying the airplane from did this except he did not differentiate, AF, PP, prop, and other. Instead he did "Cessna" and "not Cessna" (which would include all three of your other categories). Only 29 ADs over 53 years, and 14 are immediately dismissable as they...
