    Oshkosh 2022 picture thread

    Pretty impressive, since there’s only been about 50 or so! Reminds me of the guy who called into the sports talk show in Dallas and said he was 82 years old and had been a Cowboys fan all his life.

    Osh transition start for next year

    No, not a mass arrival. At 1700 Sunday when we got in line Fisk approach was telling everyone to start at Portage. No, Portage is not mentioned in the notice. No, Madison approach did not like it; they were telling everyone to stay at least 15 miles away from Madison. The best solution I can...

    My actual OSH costs — a little surprising

    Where did I say was trying to justify the cost of flying over driving? I was always going to fly in, for all the intangible reasons mentioned. I never did a cost comparison ahead of time. That's why I subtitled the thread "a little surprising;" the actual numbers did not back up my...

    My actual OSH costs — a little surprising

    Sat down and added up the receipts this afternoon. $1,070 for fuel plus $650 for the dry rate we charge ourselves for total trip cost of $1,720. That includes out-of-the-way detour on the way home to fly Chicago shoreline and St Louis riverfront. Then checked the cost if we had driven. 2,690...

    Robo Knees

    A little off topic, but my sister-in-law is an OR nurse, and brings the boxes home to use for Christmas and birthday presents. Always odd to tear the wrapping paper off and see 'knee,' 'hip,' etc. Then open the box to see what it really is.

    Is Crazed Pilot a Scam?

    Ugh, so that is how it is creeping into American English... So if a flight of two hits more than one deer on the runway, "the aircrafts hit the deers?"

    Is Crazed Pilot a Scam?

    If the Brits see two or more man-made flying objects, do they say aircraft or aircrafts?

    Is Crazed Pilot a Scam?

    We still don't know if the OP's card was charged when he placed the order, or only when the item was shipped. You alleged the card was charged when the order was taken, and we just don't know that.

    Is Crazed Pilot a Scam?

    where did he say that? Or where did the OP allege that? As noted above, most retailers don’t charge you until they ship. We don’t know what happened in this case. Maybe one of them will come back and clarify.

    Garmin Pilot for a Student Pilot

    you mean you don’t like the fact GP shows a teardrop 180 instead of unrealistically pivoting on a dime? Yeah, it is a little annoying but not that big a deal. Best alternative I can offer is to learn the ‘invert flight plan’ function. i don’t know how to view it as a graph in GP; but you can...
