You won't be able to keep a Flight Review or IPC under an hour, since a minimum of an hour flight is required. I'd minimize fluids ahead of time, limit caffeine, eat something with salt, or take a sodium pill, go right before you get in the plane, and if you still can't make it more than an...

Most of where I've flown lately for work, parts of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, N. Carolina, Virginia, some places say "masks required" on the door but you go in and nobody or almost nobody is actually wearing one. It's like they never took the signs down from last year. The one place I know...

My absolute condolences to his team, family and friends. He was a really nice man the few times I interacted with him, and I am sorry for the loss.

Just another nice rhyming word, cranking on the stick aggressively, cranking in the bank...

That's what confuses me. T-6s aren't very forgiving of the ole crank, bank and yank, and the accident reports are full of them. But he was a Geico pilot, an aerobatic pilot, a highly current, proficient and qualified T-6 pilot. Him just over-banking and stalling out after takeoff just...I don't...

I met him and his wife at a formation clinic in Iowa last month. Great people, very experienced pilots, both of them, and very down to earth. He was trying to talk both me and his wife into becoming "Leads", but both she and I are like...eh...I'm good for now as Wing. I'm a little shocked, and...

It's going to sound like I'm just defending the opposite side, and I'm not, necessarily. But my husband was an Air Boss for several years. It's not an uncommon practice, it's allowed, it happens a fair amount, for members of a team to be briefed by having a representative there. Or to be...

A local from another board says that the CFI was providing advanced (maybe Commercial) instruction to the owner, that the plane had been around there for awhile, and that the CFI is a nice gentleman in his 70s, who currently has 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 80% of his body.

They had just bought it in the last week. It was brand new to them...

Apparently the child in the car didn't make it, and has passed away. :(

10L was their departure runway. There's a Live ATC clip of them being cleared for takeoff and a left downwind departure. You don't hear the pilot's response, or if he called back in in trouble or anything.

I just gave some dual to a guy in a C-150 TW after he bought it--fun! I think financially it's a great plan. It'll fit right into your fold just fine. Besides, now you guys can go together to fly-ins and pancake breakfasts without arguing about who is doing the flying. Don't worry about the...

I just did a double-take on your purchase, because we sold our Super Viking like...a year ago? Something like that. And when you posted pics of your new acquisition, it looked an awful lot like mine, N# and all. Closer look showed our N#s are one digit different. Enjoy the new plane. Super...

A T-6 can certainly operate out of 3000', and a friend of mine has a T-28 based out of a field with a 3100' runway. Putting on an official airshow has a lot of components to it, including creating an FAA Waiver for waivered airspace, and all that entails (which is a lot). A fly-in has fewer...

We taught our daughter how to drive a manual. Soloed her at the airport before heading out on the road. We got the motorcycle re-insured and plated and are going to teach her that possibly in the next few days when the weather warms back up. I took her out in a Champ and worked on her...

In quite a few states, not only are the hospitals not overwhelmed, they are at a fraction of their normal capacity and laying off workers. I have several friends who are nurses or doctors at various locations in Massachusetts, Indiana, Georgia, Arizona, Alabama, Nebraska, and a few others...

I always stock up big on things like TP, where you know you'll use it eventually, and you can get it in bulk for a little cheaper, and I hate going to the store, so I buy whatever I can in amounts to avoid going back as long as possible. So when this hit, I had a good solid supply and I wasn't...

Neighbors have no idea why you're leaving. Perhaps you need more toilet paper. Or medicine from the pharmacy. I go fly by myself, and it feels gooooood. If I crash and survive, 1) I have bigger problems and 2) I earned that bed fair and square. I could have a DVT from sitting on my couch...
