Looking for recommendations for portable battery pack for airplane camping. Enough power to inflate an air mattress (once, but possibly top off once per day), run a small fan over-night, charge electronic devices, etc. Might be able to recharge it every other day or so. Last I read, solar...

Add the Altimatic to this list...would love a G5, but the AP is still working well.

We’ve had some Navy pilots get notified locally for exceeding 250 below 10k in the past due to new, over-zealous controllers. Of course the PD went away and the controllers were eventually reassigned, but most of us are pretty careful to not push the envelope when we can help it.

Oh it will. But in the meantime, I’m going to ride that donkey! Lol

As long as you remember that the most important thing you can do when going into a non-towered field is initial check in on CTAF with: “any traffic in the pattern please advise.” After that, it’s all up hill!

Let me FTFY, lol. ;)

Just finished reading all 15 pages from last year’s thread and I can hardly contain my excitement (as long as the wx cooperates) for this year! We’re going to try and have our jets there all week (rotating throughout) and we’ll have a couple fly in the show. I turned down bringing in a jet so...

Maybe not, if you thought they were harassing you.

I do low carb (near Keto, but I don’t usually go into ketosis) twice a year. Just for 4 weeks at a time, to dump about 10 lbs. I put that weight back on in between because I just love all food and frequently eat to excess, lol. Been doing it this way for about 8 years or so now. My normal...

Nah, no clock yet. It’s still too early to start the countdown.

Well, with 23 in and 2 to go, for the last 3 years, I’ve felt like time was at a stand still and only seems to be getting worse...except for getting older. That has definitely accelerated. :(

Tsk, tsk, look at you...so smart. :rolleyes: Lol;)

In that case, what are you if you’re the HMFIC?

Well then why didn’t you just say that!? ;)

Nerd. ;)

It only counts if you say “IBTL!” Like this ——> IBTL!

Bummer, cool plane!

Is that not a ground scar aft of the tail showing that it had slid upside down? I also think that a cart wheel would have caused more wing damage than just a tweaked tip tank. It looks to me like it flipped upside down in the air. Wake turbulence like (or critical engine issue, which...

The fire was probably just from excessively over-priming the upside down carb, correct? Probably no damage to the plane, other than the soot from the smoke?

You say “used,” but are we even certain it’s ever been flown? I may not be the best pilot, but I’ve been around the block a few times and I can think of much cheaper and less exciting ways to commit suicide! Lol Questions: if someone were to buy this, would there be enough work left to...
