He said the highest an airplane has flown... https://www.airspacemag.com/need-to-know/who-holds-the-altitude-record-for-an-airplane-141522931/

Also... MAN I will be stoked when they go to Mars. How cool will that be.

Very Interesting. They should check their facts on the highest an airplane has flown though. 85k? I think not.

Hehehe,I was a very new pilot out on one of my first cross country flights. Climbing up to 8 or 9 thou and POP!! WOW, what was that... airplane is still making power, flight controls are ok....heart is racing. A while later reached back... "I never opened these chips... OOHHHH" LOL

6'5, got my license in a Warrior, found it ok. 172 had plenty of room. A newer model (N or up) probably is best. I had to bring the seat forward, and lots of them crank down for head room. Its always going to be tight though, just the way it is.

Distraction, loss of situational awareness, task saturation. On one of my first multi flights, with my instructor I did not put the gear down until on final. We were in the pattern, and it was busy as usual.Gear should have come down on the downwind. I kept pulling the power back turning from...

Totally have room for the other G5 to replace that AI. Might as well complete the package ;)

Sorry, was not talking about young eagles in particular.... Different program that flies kids and we can land at other airports.

I enjoy it...Typically take 3 kids in a 4 seater. One kid "flys" us to the first airport, one kid to the next, etc. It is good fun, although sometimes long days when there is a line of kids. Pilot Isolation switch is your friend though.

When they build their nests in the pitot tube they do. I had a "priority return" situation when suddenly I realized I had a few passengers onboard. In the climb I was greeted by a few yellow jackets buzzing around... fantastic. Fly the airplane... don't worry about them. Managed to get on the...

Don't take off with the towbar still on!!

Everyday I wake up and have good health, I am thankful. It is not a given, and many people suffer through the many curveballs that can be thrown at us. It is all about how we approach those curveballs. You can let it take you down, or take it down with you. Sorry about your friend.

Right! I would be scooping that up if I was in the market.

My instructor said "Dont eff it up, you are the only one with the brakes". I didn't eff it up.

Typically ask if they have been in a small plane before... "No"... "Yeah me either, I guess we can figure it out together" :) or

I enjoy flying 140s. Great roll rate!!... but seriously they are good airplanes. My favourite had the powerflow exhaust and 160 hp upgrade. If you can find one of those you will be happy. I would routinely see 1000fpm initial climb at sea level on a 10-15 degree day, and 110 knots easy in...

Better than a 1900... believe me!

No. He will be fine. The cockpits (usually) only get bigger as the airplane gets bigger. If he wants to fly fighters, he wont be able to do that. BTW 6'5 here.

Oh dude.... be safe out there my man.:sigh:
