I got this from a friend in England a few years ago.

Our cat during the great TP shortage during the COVID lockdown.

In the Citation I was once cleared for an RNAV approach to a smaller airport in Texas. The turn at the IAF was close to 170 degrees with no published course reversal procedure. In fact, I was very close to a victor airway that the approach said NA headed my direction. I questioned the center...

I got my instrument and CFI while living in Hawaii back in the early 80's. Personally, I would be looking for a retractable airplane to increase chances of survival for ditching. In reality it may not help much, if you ditch in one of the channels between the islands. Winds and seas are normally...

In the mid 80's I accidentally ran the aux tanks dry on a pre-employment ride in a C310. I quickly changed to the mains and got the engines running without losing altitude. Guess I did good because the Chief Pilot hired me. He hired me again several years later to fly a Citation. We are still...

Does the SF50 have any kind of emergency braking system? The jets I have flown had one or two hydraulic systems going to the brakes or you could release nitrogen into a single brake system. Turboprops you could use reverse.

One of the few things I like about Enterprise Car Rental. "Did you know? Founder Jack Taylor selected the name Enterprise as a salute to the WWII aircraft carrier he served on, the USS Enterprise. Today, the “Enterprise” name is synonymous with the leadership and vision of the business. "...

My dad was doing that out of Seattle and would request direct KDFW, 727 Continental airlines, in the 80's. They did not have long range nav back then. One night ATC asked how they were doing it. After confessing they were put back on Jet Airways.

My personal best with marine VHF was over 400 miles one morning when we heard some friends. We were in Aves de Sotavento and they were in St. Croix. We were surprised to hear them on the VHF channel 16. Changed to another channel and verified where they were and talked for around 20 minutes...

I remember using 25" and 2,500 RPM for climb in normally aspirated airplanes. I have not flown them much since the 80's.

I believe Mr. Brown says that pilots with less than 300 hours in type are at higher risk. I have not seen what the pilot's times were in this accident. I did read that the pilot was 35 years old, so not a kid.

I flew in the one that this was copied from, several times. This was when Lin Wright owned it in the 70's. https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2007/04/19/1941-tiger-moth-gets-new-life-as-replica/25775370007/ The below picture has Lin and Martha in the foreground and my parents in the middle...
