Headwinds blow ...

This ought to make you even madder: So my high school buddy flew there in his own GA plane to get married a couple of weeks ago. He ended up landing in SW Utah and renting a car to drive into Vegas ... reason? EVERY airport was NOTAMed closed to transient aircraft. I called several for him...

I guess he can try flight lessons in Europe and see how far his tuition money goes there:p:p:p:p:p:p

I guess I'm just a simpleton from west Texas, but it would seem that the only time a TFR ought to be in place is when AF1 is actually in motion especially takeoff and landing which would be easy to accomplish by not allowing traffic into the Class B (like usual:p) until they've departed...

Years ago was flying home cross country with flight following on Thanksgiving eve late, received a VERY early hand off to El Paso Class C that I need to cross to get to my field Dona Ana ... radio silence after hand off until I rounded the mountain a couple of minutes after midnight. Told the...

I was going to type that this HAS to be a magazine cover ... and then it was:):):)

Flying is BOOMING in my area. Price of gas $7.80 a gallon isn't slowing it down. Thank goodness someone put a pump in at Las Cruces selling gas at cost at $5.50 recently. Both my field (KDNA Dona Ana) and Las Cruces (KLRU) have increased student flying to levels that are higher than when I...

I guess someone could give it a test, post some youtube to get attention, and then see the FAA response:stirpot::eek2:

These are the kind of photos that got me interested in flying. Great work! I never even thought about flying until a high school buddy took me in his Luscombe a couple of times and handed over a bunch of magazines with airplane photos like yours. Am sure you're introducing a bunch of new...

ATITPPA baby:goofy:

Sluggo, you honor your son with this write up ... your feelings and photos have me feeling I knew him as well. I hope that just writing this may help you a little. Your relationship with your son is what all fathers should strive for ... hang in there ...

Did you get a ride in it or the promise of a trip?;)

Checked a Tiger in Arizona years ago, couldn't get the logs scanned ... before traveling asked every which way to Sunday if there were any incidents, accident or known damage history ... response was "no" ... I traveled with a buddy and found an off airport "incident" into 8 feet of salt water...

And a lot of them are beginning to wear "blaze orange" vests ;)

I had a Tiger for nearly 10 years ... should have kept it based on the demand and price they're getting nowo_O There's a PDF telling the mechanic how to torque that nose gear (eliminate shimmy) ... they also have to dismantle it at annual to grease it ... if there were a few "lazy mechanic"...

Lame stream media loves to push the climate angle ... this might be the second hurricane of the season ... a few years back before climate change became "cool", I think the Gulf had 4 or 5 enter in one season ... not counting I think 2 went up the east coast ...

Never needed the vibration watch ... had a Tiger before the RV7 and both will let you know you might want to think about changing tanks due to a heavy wing ...

I watched maybe 30 seconds of one of those 'Dan" videos a couple of years back and haven't bothered to watch any since. Am guessing most of his views are non-pilot youtube surfers ... I never had the privilege of meeting Devyn Reiley, but am guessing it is probably my loss in that respect...

Pictures or it didn't happen ;)

My buddy wasn't going, then found an Airbnb that became available last week and is there now ... talked friends into going as well so they're splitting a $600 a night place between 6 people ... pretty easy ...
