    To LSA or not to LSA?

    I dunno. I've flown Tecnam Eaglet, CTLS, Tecnam Sierra, Remos GX, and RV-12. All sipped gas. They were all a hoot to fly, especially the Sierra and the RV-12.

    To LSA or not to LSA?

    "In addition to AVGAS and unleaded automotive fuel (Mogas) the ROTAX, 912/914 series of engines are now approved for use with E10. Fuels that contain more than 10 %ethanol blend have not been tested nor are they permitted for use." The issue then becomes tanks/tubes/rubber handling ethanol...

    Fire after gear collapse at MIA

    You can see as the water bottle guy heads out, two flight attendants to his right guiding people to the slide.

    I understand it, I just don't get it...

    My son did this during his teens. He hung out with people from all over the world, including one time a bunch from England at the In-and-Out at LAX. He sold a couple photos as covers to aviation magazines and gave them as gifts to various folks. It was a great hobby and until he got his driver's...

    Need advice -Wifes first time up

    I searched for "pilot pinch hitter course". AOPA has a ground school to introduce non-flyers to GA (https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/online-learning/safety-spotlights/pinch-hitter), but nothing else that I saw. However, lots of flight schools offer pinch hitter courses. I didn't see...

    Oshkosh 2022 Group Parking/Camping Headcount

    I got to camp one year in Vintage near the barn and silo. It is nice and close to everything. Also right near a tent where musicians gathered and had impromptu musical sessions, which was kinda cool. Walked down to the restaurant (Tall Pines?) by the ultralight field that had good breakfasts.

    Cherokee 140 pushing the limits

    Be sure to check for the Rehoboth TFR. It's going up again from 6/17-6/20. KMIV is good, but KWWD is in the outer ring.

    Osh for just one day

    From page 1 of the NOTAM: Beginning Thursday, July 21, 2022, OSH is closed to all arriving aircraft from 8:00 PM until 7:00 AM CDT daily. Also, some or all categories of aircraft may not be accepted due to parking saturation, ground conditions, TFRs, scheduled airshows, or other activities...

    Osh for just one day

    Yep, General Aviation Parking. See the NOTAM at https://www.eaa.org/-/media/Files/AirVenture/FlyingIn/NOTAM/2022/2022-FAA-Notice-AirVenture-Flight-Procedures-NOTAM.ashx on page 1. I don't know how hard it is to get out in the evening after the airshow and before the airport closes/night airshows.

    Osh for just one day

    The time from a satellite airport (Appleton, Fond Du Lac) via a shuttle is about an hour one way and they're not free. Oshkosh is way bigger than it was 20 years ago.

    Osh for just one day

    Probably would work if you have one thing you want to see, e.g., the air show, check out a particular vendor, visit the warbirds, etc.

    News media and the public are so stupid

    And most pilots don't even file flight plans and aren't talking to air traffic control. They are flying all around and above us completely out of control!!!!!!!

    Is forming a partnership hard for everyone?

    I have family up in North Central Wisconsin, around Merrill. It is beautiful up there. Head up past Tomahawk and it gets even prettier. Lots of fishing, hiking, boating, great food and beer. I want so bad to fly around there sometime and circle my grandparents old farm. So many memories. Heading...
