25¢ per gallon at the cheapest place. (About $1.66 in 2024 money) As I remember, most places were 35¢.This was about 1974.

I’m planning on flying up to Lock Haven (KLHV) tomorrow to see the museum and have lunch. A couple questions: o Any special directions about parking? o Is it possible/safe to walk over to the museum? o Any place you recommend for lunch? o I noticed the ridge on the east side. Anything of note...

I knew there would be someone smart on here!!

I was looking over the sectional near KEZF (Shannon). About 5.2 miles at 149°(38.20°N/77.37°W), there is a small black square labeled "geomagnetic center". I've looked in the FAA pubs such as the Aeronautical Chart User's Guide, internet searches, etc. and there is no explanation. The only...

Google Maps (10/8 1500 EDT) shows I-75 east-bound (Alligator Alley) through the Everglades with very heavy traffic. Webcams show bumper-to-bumper. Looks like folks are heading over to Miami.

I've been in there a couple times, both landing to the north. First time there it was calm. Second time had a good breeze and was with a friend who was flying. During short final I had to note that we didn't want to land in the sand before the threshold and he had to put in a healthy dose of...

I just went over his pictures at his site. That man had an amazing eye for beauty. There's at least one that I imagine is him flying off the West. My condolences to all his friends and family over his loss.

This year we’ll have pizza supplied by Mitch Loiselle of Banterra Aircraft Finance, one of FMA’s corporate sponsors. I’ve had several folks (yay!) contact me looking for a play list. We don’t have anything that organized, but here’s some of the suggested tunes in no particular order. For those...

Sorry to hear! Thanks for your help last year. I’ve had four other musicians contact me. We’ll see what we get.

I’ll wander over.

P.S. It's really green there this year. From the videos, there might be some wet spots but no cones were up yet. Also, Vintage camera isn't up yet.

Okay, take this for what it's worth. Our plane has a speed card velcro'd to the visor with rpm/configuration/speed for doing approaches. Some of those are for 90kts flaps up, 90kts with 10° flaps as well as other speeds that include descent rates as well as straight and level. So set the power...

iPad mini 6. But macrumors says don’t buy now. https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/

I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.

Interesting way to go about it. Back in the day, if-then-else compiled to machine language goto’s, especially when using elseif. Switch statements, on the other hand, used jump tables to just increment the program counter, so were more efficient. These days, who knows? But your way of doing this...

Old joke: What do they call motorcyclists who ride without a helmet? Organ donors.
