    28 Seconds to Survive

    Wild. Fired up an ATR-42 and had it off the runway in less time than it takes me to get even halfway through my preflight on a freaking Skyhawk. Sad that they took so many down with them.

    Rv-6 down at kptv

    Man. That's a shame :( So many fields around that airport, too.

    Gender Reveal Party

    Well... I didn't think this post would go THAT far in that direction, but... I stand corrected!

    Gender Reveal Party

    I think it would be too early to declare the baby as agender, but I'm not SUPER well-versed in these things.

    Supersonic Booze Carrier

    F-104s had them as did the B-52.

    Supersonic Booze Carrier

    This is a really amazing story. Thanks for sharing it! Edit.... hahah!! The main bogey wheel being set free on rotation of the TU-22M... :D Just about spit out my coffee on that one!

    Gender Reveal Party

    Glad to see this has gone as expected, and glad to see it hasn't been locked yet. Gender reveal parties are dumb. Nobody should care that much about what parts are or aren't in the baby's diaper. Have a kid, celebrate that. Completely ridiculous that so many people have died and millions upon...

    HOPS Party Needs a Sponsor

    I'm in this boat, too. Those cost estimates are pretty great and not bad at all. I camp out in Scholler, and often out in BFE, so I never have a good place to host. But I'm happy to help in whatever way I can. I have two sous vides I can bring to keep food hot. I can sling drinks. And I can...

    Spend $1000 to make $100?

    Full time RVing is possible, but only in the right RV. If it's your typical sticks and staples RV, those are never built to withstand full-time occupancy. They are built to (mostly) work for a total of a year or two of consecutive use... or several years of occasional use - and even then, they...

    Electric push mower

    Ego has a battery ZTR. Base model with included batteries will do 2 acres on a single charge. If you need more, you can just use more batteries (and since all of the batteries are interchangeable, if you have other Ego stuff like the chain saw, blower, trimmer, whatever, you should be set in...

    MidAir at Centennial Airport Cirrus and Metroliner

    Saw a photo of a Harrier the other day, fully kitted out with tanks and all sorts of other isht hanging from its pylons. Didn't seem like it was remotely possible to get adequate airflow over the wing for lift. Thing was dirtier than a two dollar wh... uh... it was REALLY aerodynamically dirty...

    F-15 Ejection at BLV outside of St. Louis

    Sometimes you just REALLY REALLY gotta go!

    Speaking of illegal charter flights

    Honestly, in terms of being directly related to aviation, the reasons she travelled, her politics, her dad's health... none of that has anything to do with the real question at hand. Was this a charter flight, and what was the pilots' role in the flight (ie, what did they know)?

    F-15 Ejection at BLV outside of St. Louis

    Sounds like a pair of pilots ejected from an F-15 at MidAmerica this morning. Also, this station describes the F-15 as a “small plane,” which is a strange way to describe an F-15. Scratch the above... they edited the article to remove mention of a "an F-15, a small plane."...

    Walmart not taking cash.

    Hold on a minute... we were having some good fun in here! Now you come in and spoil it with this? Hmph!!!

    Electric push mower

    To be fair, there are some things that, income pending, are just worth having someone else do. I used to do all my own oil changes. It's just not worth my time any more. A few years ago we hired a house cleaner (she independent, and AWESOME). Worth every darned penny to get our weekends back...

    N/A Best carpet cleaning machines (shampooers)?

    Reminds me of a roomba story or two I've heard of. :D
