Hey Greg, thinking all the good thoughts for you two!

just awesome...

Cool! Looking forward to following along. My 17 year old cousin just bought a Luscombe and is taking lessons in it. He solo'd his dads Cherokee 140 last Summer but is now learning taildragging.

What i find amazing is that 42% of Air Tractor 802's are equipped...

Non-CFI ATP's also can give instruction at 135 and 121 operations.

This legal interpretation clears up the different wording regarding training in Pt 119. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2017/Grannis%20-%20(2017)%20Legal%20Interpretation.pdf

Leah loved it. She had zero expecations. The last racing movie I made her watch was "Talladega Nights". So you can see why she had no expectations.

Sad, I recall there was a similar accident in the Phoenix area a few years back that actually resulted in them raising the class B floor, allowing more clearance from the terrain. I also understand that that the latest redesign of the Salt Lake Bravo provided more room over the ridge line...

powered parachute might be the only flying machine more wind sensitive than a balloon. at least in a balloon there is *something* between your feet and the ground when you land...

i would pay money to watch that

I would probably be interested in that. I know a DPE in Albuquerque! She works at one of the 141 schools there. She and her husband have competed in many Gordon Bennett and America's Challenge. Do you know where any hydrogen or helium pipelines might be that we can tap into?

a good friend of mine says "never fly anything that does not have a front" but i've recently become balloon-curious like Ted. Especially after following the Gordon Bennett and America's Challenge gas balloon races this year!

My wife soared there a few years ago at an international meet of women glider pilots. They didn't get weather that supported flights well into the mountains but she had a great time and the scenery was amazing

Rec.aviation.soaring is the main "forum" used by US pilots. It is not PoA equivalent though. It's Usenet, no photos, very antique interface, etc. But somehow it persists.

is it as loud as the Mercedes? Used to be able to hear Laurie coming 1/2 mile away! :D

in most failure scenarios you should still have a normally aspirated engine.

Required for competition, and most European gliders seats are really designed assuming the pilot is wearing a chute so it helps to have for comfort. It is fairly standard in single seat glider to wear them. It is not as standard in the US for training, especially when training in Schweizers.

is there a chinese submarine that sank in that area?

Welcome back!

Some "fun" reading about a similar flight: http://www.beechbaby.com/Dead_Cow_To_Dairy_Flat/JC%20Flight%20to%20New%20Zealand.pdf
