    Dash cams

    Mine has a button on the bottom that I can hit to manually protect the recording as well, just in case I witness something that I'm not directly involved in.

    Dash cams

    WE have identical setups in our vehicles... a Nextbase 622GW up front with a connected remote camera for the rear. Got them not long ago, and since we rarely drive we haven't seen much. They also have a parking mode, which is good because we just have a parking pad behind our house connected to...

    I really can't wait to...

    ... wake up to the sounds of ultralights buzzing over Camp Scholler.

    All safe assumptions :D

    1K Landing Fee proposed in MA

    Thinking that may actually be the point.

    Insensitive, out-of-touch? FAA's recent mental health post on Instagram

    Not entirely sure what's so insensitive about the FAA posting about maintaining positive mental health. It is (or... should be...) one of our personal checklist items before we crawl into the cockpit. Pilots struggling with mental health issues make for potentially compromised pilots. Now...

    HOPS Party Needs a Sponsor

    Well, I certainly can't take it over because I definitely don't get amazing camp locations like you do (I'm usually in South BFE, ie, Camp Scholler... and in the boonies, at that). I was thrilled to make it to the last HOPS party and meet many fine, fine people, including yourself! So while I...

    Oshkosh 2021 Notam - Airventure

    I'm more or less assuming that at least half of the folks flying in either won't read the NOTAM (and therefore not know of the new procedure), or read the NOTAM and said f that, and just bomb into Ripon. I've never driven out there to see the cluster... just might need to this year.

    Best Aviation museum

    I add in the USS Intrepid in Manhattan. They have an impressive array of aviation there, including a shuttle and a Concorde (you can pay a few bucks extra to get in and have a seat), as well as all sorts of different kinds of examples of Naval aviation, as well as even an A-12.

    Oshkosh - 2019

    There was an aerial firefighting demo almost every day airshow. Pretty incredible stuff, actually. That CL-215 was a LOT of fun to watch. i was completely blown away after seeing it drop for the first time... and then blast off into a near 90 degree bank angle and bug out. Can't imagine what it...

    OSH RV Rental

    Outdoorsy.com is another share site. Based on my experience, I *highly* recommend trying to meet up with the owner prior to committing to renting the unit. The pop-up I rented from Outdoorsy looked great in the photos. In reality, it was pretty beat up and completely filthy. I spent two hours...

    Last night’s impromptu airshow!

    I was volunteering on the flightline (Vintage at Classic) and was watching the hilarity. What a lot of people didn't see was that they were doing full approaches. Gear down and everything. Just when you thought, "Oh... definitely coming in this time..." up goes the gear and off it goes to defy...

    Oshkosh - 2019

    I especially feel that way about the night airshow. On Saturday, I was literally falling asleep during what seemed like the 20th person doing chandelles with sparklers on their wings. I did appreciate some of the integration that they started doing between ground-based fireworks and aerial...

    Airplane down at Addison (KADS)

    That 2014 GIV crash really reframed my perspective of professional aviation and how some people approach that. I would never consider leaving the ground for the first flight without a thorough preflight, backed up by the checklist. I'm a complete novice aviator. Prior to the 2014 crash, I had...

    Plane down in Mississippi-Sad

    Geezus... take your semantic rants and move them into a private chat, another forum, or just get a room and get it over with already. This isn't the thread for your "sword" fighting.
