    Desperately seeking info on how one charters a widebody plane in 2024...

    Several days? It's going to cost you a ton of money, due to the fact someone will charge you the same as if you were flying it around, due to the airplane not being able to make any revenue.

    Engine out, runway overrun

    Definitely do a NASA report.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    My biggest issue is the heat/humidity. I had a battery powered fan going in the tent all night, and that helped a little but waking up clammy and damp just isn't my jam.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    I have a few thoughts/questions. My first time to OSH was back in 2019 with my Dad. He didn't want to camp, so we stayed at the dorms. That was OK, but I felt like we were missing out on a lot by staying off site, and it would have been nice to have a place to go to during the day to recharge...

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    So glad I got woken up by a weather alert at 0400 for a little bit of rain and two rumbles of thunder. Heading home today, weather looks iffy back that way over the next few days and I need a few days at home before my next trip. Been a blast, camping out sure is convenient.

    About to leave NH. Spending the night in UES, heading up first thing tomorrow morning in an effort to not get t boned by someone over Ripon. Hopefully there are some spaces left in the N40.

    Will the Snowbirds ever update?

    The pessimist in me thinks they'll disband the team when the Tutor is no longer viable.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    I saw that, and I was wondering why they put that rule into place. Makes sense.

    Logging King Air Time

    There is both an STC you can get for the 200 that increases the MTOW into type rating territory, and some (or all?) new build 200's have a MTOW above 12.5.

    What if someone is parking in GAC? Still worthwhile?

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Debating bringing my electric scooter with me. How useful would that be? I know its not allowed on air show grounds. I don't want to use up payload and have it not being worthwhile bringing.

    Boston area airports for my Mooney

    Nashua is probably 5th on the list of airports id recommend if you're going to BOS.

    Airventure Arrival Practice

    First time I went out there I flew at 90 knots and wrote down my power settings with flaps up and approach flaps, cowl flaps open. Then I did a few short approaches. I was fairly new to the airplane at that point, so I wanted to get a feel for that. Non issue.

    These folks need to be stopped.

    I don't think you'll have to worry about that issue.
