Trouble with taking a pickax to ice is the real possibility of damaging the concrete/asphalt under the ice. Several years ago, we were experiencing a “polar vortex” here in NE Wisconsin and our airport was a block of ice everywhere, including the runways. It was imperative that the airport...

For those of us that are model airplane descendants, it’s been reported that one of the occupants killed was Joe Zingali, founder of Zinger props.

nice service. At my airport, I’m lucky if the snow gets plowed within 3 ft of the door a day or two after the storm. :eek:

The trouble can often be associated with what direction the hangar door faces and the slope/pitch of the roof. I had a hangar (KMNM) that faced north with a roof that sloped toward the door. Whenever it warmed up enough to melt snow, it would slide off the roof and accumulate in front of the...

There is no requirement for the hangar itself to be insured, just as you say a general liability policy? Most municipal airports require hangar insurance and for them to be named a co-insured. Interesting.

I’m curious why there would be no insurance requirement.

One thing I forgot to mention is rest your hand you are holding the eye drop bottle in on the hand you are pulling your eyelid down with. Keeps things steady.

I had a cornea transplant plus intraocular lens replacement 1 1/2 yrs ago. Need daily drops as of yet. I get in front of the mirror and pull the lower eyelid down. While doing that, I get the eye drop bottle in position, aiming at that pulled down area, as close as I dare to the eyeball. While...

The usual for me. All four kids home plus four grandsons 6 and under. Now suffering from the crud one of the little ones “gave” to grandpa. o_O

Thanks. Updated shot

I’m in the tail end of building a Hatz Classic. Biggest adjustment for me in my recent retirement is not having a business account that I could purchase airplane parts with. Now the CFO at home sees all my building expenses. Drat!

Mix of glass and steam. I like backups. Love the GRT Sport SX. Hudly HUD acts as a second screen. IFly is a keeper too. Bucky keeps an eye on everything. Go Badgers.

So what she is saying if a pilot is doing touch and goes and remaining in the pattern, you have to extend your crosswind and enter the downwind on a 45 because it’s always best? I think not. You were in the right. She, on the other hand, needs a course in common courtesy.

All this discussion convinces me to base at a private airport when I relocate. We are experiencing the very same issues as above at KMNM (Menominee MI) as a result of new county administration interpreting FAA regulation and recommendations with an iron fist. I am curious and apprehensive...

Took an approximately 10 year old kid on YE ride. We’re leveling off after take off and he blurts out, “I’m gonna use my new word! This is epic!!!”

When it’s my time I have given my kids instructions to prop me up in my airplane and send me out over Green Bay (the actual Bay that is) where I’ll do the prettiest figure 9 you ever saw.

Got a ride in a Stearman many moons ago. After I got my hearing back and made my way home, I tried to convince the wife that college for our kids was way over rated and buying a Stearman made more sense. We paid for the kids college......:rolleyes:

Maybe the new phrase should be “virtual engine out”. Dang millennials are ruining everything.....;)
