    These folks need to be stopped.

    I'll call the cockpit the chuckle hut if they want, as long as my rather substantial paycheck that ALPA fought to get for me still cashes.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    I'm looking for a spot to overnight close-ish to OSH on Friday the 19th. I was thinking of MSN, but one of the mass formation flights is departing from there for OSH the morning of the 20th, and I don't want to get caught up in that CF. JVL seems like it might be a good option. Can anyone...

    Domestic Cat in GA plane

    I flew a lot of pets at one of my first jobs. There weren't any real specific instructions on keeping dogs restrained, but it said that cats needed to be in a carrier due to their "unpredictable behavior and independent nature".

    Controlled Airspace Apprehensions, VFR

    Schedule time with a CFI and go to multiple D's or even C's if there is one near you. You'll be fine after one flight.

    WX depending, I'm thinking of getting there Saturday morning, and leaving either Monday after the airshow, or Tuesday morning.

    Is it safe to fly on a Boeing 737-Max?

    Personally I dislike all 737's, but they are perfectly safe. Oh? Tell us more.....

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    Maybe he saw a cop car next to the runway and just instinctually turned towards it.

    Traverse Air Multi-Engine Rating with Tom Brady

    I had no idea that not only is Tom Brady the best quarterback of all time, but is also an instructor! What a solid dude, a true American hero!

    Something with two engines if you're doing that much over water flying.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    I'm hoping to make it, hopefully my schedule cooperates, and the weather is decent. Probably, and it may attract the attention of someone from the FAA, and that isn't something you want.

    Inside the cowling. Rain does not get to the entire compartment.

    Cleaning engine compartment

    The engine compartment on my airplane got covered in a ton of dust while it was being painted. What is the best way to clean it? Obviously not taking a pressure washer to it, but trying to wipe everything down with a rag is a little time consuming. Can I used compressed air to help with the...

    Blue Angels IMAX

    The most recent Fighter Pilot Podcast episode, they interview Greg Wooldridge, who was a three time boss of the BA's, and was a producer on this movie. He goes into a lot of the logistics and inner workings of the team. Worth this listen.

    Flying with retired pilots

    I would not let someone that knows very little about aviation dictate how you operate and crew an airplane where you are the PIC. What does she expect the other person to do? I would sit her down and find out what her fears are.

    What’s going on at United

    There is also a significant swath of the population that didn't/doesn't realize they can actually become a pilot. Those are the people that these programs are trying to reach.

    Boeing cargo plane makes emergency 'belly' landing

    I want to know why the pilots went out the window vs the main door. Both seemed to be about the same height above the ground, and the door would be way less awkward. Or wait 5 min for the firefighters to put a ladder up to the door.

    Do airlines or employers care what kind of logbook I have?

    I had about the same percentage of error on mine. I tried to find the issue(s) but never did. Nothing was mentioned in my interview, so I guess it wasn't a big deal.
