We just bought our third house and while 7 hours seems excessive, our have generally ran 3-4 hours or so. From what I’ve seen, it’s a top to bottom inspection. Ladder onto the roof to check condition and soffits, access attic to check R-rating of insulation and check for roof leaks and...

A club I was in back about 10 years ago had a -172. Club CFI and student were doing touch n gos one day and some how got too low turning base to final over a small hill off the approach end of the runway and snagged a power line with a gear leg. Plane flipped and fell killing the student and...

Well, it might be somewhat true, GW WAS a fan of the ladies!

That worked great, thanks Jim. I’d forgotten all about the FBO-specific site.

Jim, what did you end up doing about a rental car? Looking at possibly taking my family into GKT this weekend and this would be a go/no go item.

depends on how important that donut is to you!

UPS will also be looking to hire 60/month this year. I saw FEDEX is trying for something like 75/month. Great time to get hired if you’re wanting to fly for a living!

Congratulations! That must take a huge weight off your shoulders! My most recent “best phone call ever” was from a (intentionally unnamed) dream company offering me a job, almost 4 months before my official military retirement. Huge weight off mine and my family’s shoulders, for sure.

It’s all ball bearings these days.

From the EAA site: EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021: Facts and Figures for an Outstanding Year Attendance: Approximately 608,000 – Only the third time attendance has surpassed 600,000 and within 5 percent of 2019’s record total. Comment from Pelton: “We went into this year not knowing what...

the sun has been brutal!

Not going to make HOPS after all, as we’re leaving early due to the storms in the forecast. I’ve still got a six pack of Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan to donate. I’ll drop it by Jay’s site on the way out in the morning. “Bomb’s Away!”

Grabbed screenshots of the 3 different lines of storms that came through last night. Had nothing better to do as sleep was NOT happening, lol.

Balley Bomber was pretty neat. Stoked to see Mike Patey got Scrappy’s hours flown off and he made it to OshKosh! If you’ve not watched his YouTube of the build, it’s amazing. Surprise thunderstorms last night kept us up all night. Three separate lines came through and all required me to...

I didn’t make it through the first page before realizing I don’t have any friends, lol.

I’m in the north 40 and as far as I could tell, everyone within view was in their tent by 10pm last night.

Oh, and 53% chance of t-storms at the same time! Is that 100% chance of a tornado, lol?

No, word is they hadn’t made a decision on AV far enough in advance to book the band.

I decided to try N40 this year as I was too late to make it into VAC and the S40 looks awful. Row 531, so I should be able to make it too! Brought a 6-pack from Mississippi’s Lazy Magnolia Brewery “Southern Pecan”. :happydance:

Looks like they’ve added a new “join point” south of Endeavor Bridge.
