The paperwork isn't a big deal. If it's registered, titled and the executor signs the bill of sale it's done.

On another forum I frequent, there are two members that vigorously assert the moon landings were fake. Much of their obsession is with communications and video. The thread is something like 30 pages, and those that rebut the nonsense are continually entertained. As one might suspect, the posts...

I dragged a lawn chair out to the driveway. :biggrin:

Pretty cool stuff. Like Ryan, we got a break in the clouds at totality.

I read a history book some years ago about the portion of the Empire Air Training Scheme which produced British aircrews in Canada and the US during WWII. It was a massive undertaking.

Just saw this thread, and I'm sending my thoughts to you. I hope kitty recovers, I know what they mean to us that love them.

I suspect one of the reasons the LSA flopped is because the average weight of the population has made those aircraft unsuitable for carrying two modern adults, fuel, and a woman's purse. :biggrin:

Regardless of the issues requiring it, score it as a successful off airport emergency landing and good job by the pilot.

As you can see from the significant distance between the base nut and securing nut on the post, the connection was not properly tightened when the alternator was installed during your alternator work or engine change long ago. It also appears, from what's left of the wire terminal, that as you...

Number 4 is stupidity. But I think the rest are the normal joking comments about the cost of flying. I'm sure it's annoying to have to filter what people are saying, but try to give these guys some more time. As for your new membership, congratulations. I hope there are some memorable flights...

Don't listen to the curmudgeons. It's a nice idea, and your brother will appreciate its uniqueness. Will he carry it everywhere for the rest of his life? Probably not. But gifts aren't always perfect.

Some information about those lost: https://nypost.com/2024/04/01/us-news/israeli-tech-entrepreneur-liron-petrushka-wife-naomi-petrushka-dead-in-california-plane-crash/

This post is just me ruminating about flying and its presence over my years. I was looking through my cloud photos and came across some photos of P-63F 43-11719 taken during the 2021 CAF show at KRBD. I had the pleasure of meeting Craig Hutain, and he took the time to educate me about the...

One would think that CFIs giving instruction might emphasize to their students how to properly communicate with the tower and ATC. If I really want to dream, I'll imagine the director of training occasionally monitoring the frequencies to evaluate the instructor's effectiveness in that regard...

Any observations about a crash can be picked apart. But the scenario @rwellner98 has postulated is certainly well founded, possible to have occurred, and consistent with the observed events. Unfamiliarity with the K model coupled with the ten knot difference between Vso and Vs1 could have...

I should have empathy for people who ignore polite requests to act in a responsible manner and discourteously require me to correct their selfish behavior? It's my fault if I get irritated and escalate the issue with the management of the airport? Can I borrow your car until August? When you go...

The frustration with the apparent fuel mismanagement and the sorrow felt because of the loss of a family produce dichotomous feelings that can't be easily digested. What a sad event.

While it's impossible to definitively say the open door caused the crash, there have been instances where the opening of a cockpit or baggage door on takeoff resulted in just that, because of the reaction by the pilot. I have personal experience with this, the unlatched nose baggage door of a...

I've had these two tubes for more than 20 years. One was at my shop in a small town 15 miles away from home, the other in the garage. In 2022, we built a house on the property where the shop is located, and moved from the big city to the country. I don't use much since I quit racing in 2007...

You have misremembered. The Cirrus struck the PA-25 tow plane causing both to crash. The glider landed safely.
