The two airplanes I fly have oxy tanks that are mounted in the planes. We do nothing with then when it gets hot.

I was flying a Falcon 20, DA-20, when the Diamond 20's came out. FAA changed our code for flightplans to DA-02. I thought that since Diamond was the new kid they should have been the one to change. My pilot certificate still says DA-20. We were miss identified by ATC a few times, on short VFR...

I went to 8 of his concerts, first one was when he opened for the Eagles Hotel California tour 1977 in Ft. Worth. For 3 concerts we rented a 50-seat bus and brought grills and a keg, what fun. He will be greatly missed. There are at least two pilots in the first picture.

The one time I hauled a body, actually 2, they were in body bags not a box. Made it easier to load.

If I remember right, Buckley said offshore sailboat racing was like standing in a cold shower tearing up 100-dollar bills.

I may be wrong, but I believe that is not a problem with the Aero Commanders.

My dad broke an arm off one at DFW around 40 years ago. At the time he was a Capitan for Continental Airlines. I do not remember him getting in trouble for it. Sucker would not lift up!

My Dad flew the same airplane back when it was N109HT. Back around 1990 Air Routing said they were the first N registered airplane to fly into Saigon after the war. They flew to a lot of the Pacific, Asia, US and Europe.

Airports with new control towers are always surprising for several months.

I learn more from bad experiences. One night I returned around 1am to home base in a KA200 and was tired. Cleaned the cabin and closed up the plane. Chief Pilot had a trip in the plane at 7am. I got a call about 6am asking about the damage to the right wing, I knew nothing about it. Found out we...

I have used that a few times.

You might look at Guardian. Our company used to have its LTD through them and it covered me, their only pilot, if I was no longer able to work in my current job because of a medical condition. It would pay 60% of my salary until age 67. Not great but better than nothing. Our company recently...

When I took care of a private airport, with runway lights, mowers would usually hit one or two a year. This is all we usually had to replace. $14.50 ea. https://genesislamp.com/products/l862q-1-1-2-frangible-metal-coupling.html

We keep beer in a cooler in an unheated unpressurized baggage compartment of our Citation, been up to FL450, they have never blown. We keep them in a cooler so they do not freeze.

I will look up the star chart and pick any of the arrival points that include the route I was given.

We once departed Dallas, for KLGA, and abeam TXK we noticed we forgot the boss's bag! Called our mechanic and he shipped it counter to counter on AA. We picked it up at KLGA and had it to him in time for his function that night in Manhattan. Glad there was some time built into our schedule!

When we landed at The Dalles, Sunday around noon, there were no SEATs at the airport. I am guessing they were fighting this fire. Early Monday am there were three on floats. Early to mid Tuesday am there was two plus a twin commander that I guess was an observer.
