What if, and hear me out here... we just use ONE engine to drive both the ducted fans! Eh? Eh? I totes think that would work, yeah?

Having your health care/quality of care intrinsically tied to your employment is just freaking awful.

Got the postcard yesterday! Definitely setting my alarm because I've missed the last two. Grr.

Wait wait wait wait... how in the heck did your wristband last that long? I think mine was pure white by Thursday.

This is a really great idea. In fact, done right, your instructor can act like a typical passenger, which means you'll need to do a full passenger briefing (making sure you talk about sterile cockpit rules for critical parts of the aircraft operation), and the instructor can pepper you with...

Is there a GoFundMe or something for this? I’m in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, this is basically a flying pyramid scheme. Neat!

Met a Tomcat pilot at the Oshkosh HOPS party that had personal interaction with Snort. I know the vast majority of folks seeing this are saddened and affected in some way, but to interact with someone who had a direct, personal, professional connection with Snort... he was clearly moved in a...

Honest question... is this Raptor stuff his full time gig? Is he independently wealthy or something? How does one fund such a monumental failure... and then think they'll just start over on yet another likely failure? I get the entrepreneurial/experimental/inventor spirit. I really do. The...

That... was my point. The diversity is happening, albeit slowly. Non-hispanic whites make up 60.7% of the population. 88.4% of pilots in this country are white. So, there is still a gap, but it's closing. Women make up just over 50% of the population. Yet less than 7% of licensed pilots are...

You know what they say, the early bird gets the lock!

Considering the fact, in a white male dominated industry/hobby/forum, that sexist tropes are still prevalent, yeah. We must. Anyway, OSH21 was great. One observation that I was particularly happy to see (and coincidentally on sub-topic): diversity. At my first Oshkosh nearly a decade ago, it...

Seriously, people. The overt sexism in this community needs to stop. It's completely ridiculous. The pilot population is far more diverse that it was even just a decade ago. That's a good thing. And yeah. That's a serious post. Do better.

The video (and still from the video) is horrifying. The sheer terror that must have been those last seconds. Dear God. :( I feel absolutely awful for anyone whose last moments are like that.

A contributing reason to why we rented a camper this year! [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hilarious to me how wrapped around the axle you people get when we try to just be humane to others. Cry more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you talking about the security cam footage? Where you can see the reflection in the windshield of the Jeep? I watched that several times, and if that is the video you are referring to, I'm not sure how one could come to the conclusion they were inverted. They may have been, but there's...

Super happy to help keep the legacy alive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We did! We had a great time. Thanks to everyone for coming out, and big thanks to Brian for the grub run (and the guys at the gate that less his car through for the drop off!) See everyone next year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And beer. Definitely need beer!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
