Bought 3 too, that way I can keep the new headset in the new plane to use when I take my commercial rating lessons.

The first plane I bought I found the ad on the FBO bulletin board. Some of the older generation don't do or trust using the internet.

"Don't worry, we're on a C17 with 800 other people and only one bathroom but it can only get better from here!"

I'm in a somewhat rural county in WI, if a mask isn't required (i.e. hospitals) few if any people are wearing masks and it has been that way for months. I went up to Mackinac Island last weekend, it was packed and maybe 1 in 50 tourists had masks if that. Some businesses were requiring all...

Just did some googling and apparently there are two skytyper groups, the Grummans work on the west side of the country and the T6's do the east. https://www.skywritingads.com/

That would be my guess.. It happened to me twice. The engine shaking from losing one cylinder is eye opening, glad it happened on the ground and not in the air!

This is a trick question, but I figured out the answer.

A can with cat litter would work for burying a deuce in too.

A Swift with a big engine and aux tanks if you can live without tandem seating? Official VNE is much lower than 250, but the wings didn't come off of the D'arcy Swift until it hit 300mph :eek: Maybe a tailwheel Yak?

I bought one of the $100+ small camping chairs a couple years ago. Bought two more of the $30 chinese knockoffs this year. You can't tell them apart.

Thought about testing your theory this morning but the rotating beacon was off, ATIS was saying go away, and the Garmin had a bright red circle around the airport. :D

Mouse traps. The big glue boards will catch birds that try and sneak in and out too.

I noticed they must be monitoring radar/adsb now too, I've heard them call out a couple tail numbers that looked like they were going to cut in line at or just before Ripon and sent them back to Green Lake.

Reversible prop that someone thought was set to flat pitch but wasn't?

Swifts are small taildraggers that should never make 3 point landings!

I can't unsee this..

Somewhat related question. Can you call up a Lycoming distributor and just say "Hey, I want a new engine, not my old one overhauled or reman. Bill me the core charge and get one ordered."?

Bad week for that guy. Used my google-fu to figure out what it was (Seawind 3000 N8UU), and found this on Kathryn's report: http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2021/06/seawind-3000-n8uu-accidents-occurred.html Ran off the runway June 26th. Landed gear up on land June 27th.

Just an update on this - Had some avionics work done. Added a GPS, replaced a faulty nav indicator, and they figured out what the unlabeled switch above the autopilot was for. It'll now track a heading set on the small heading indicator, capture and follow the magenta line on the GPS, or...
