Very nice photos. It looks like you all had a great time! I love PA-12s, learned to fly in one as a matter of fact. That one looks like an exceptional example.

I had a huge lunch of roasted veal ribs, mashed pumpkin and fried sweet potato. We even had Dulche de Leche ice cream for dessert.

Look around in Rio Rancho. It is northwest of the city with some nice neighborhoods. Pretty much anything north of the city itself and west of the Pat D'Arco Highway are okay. My Sister and Nephew live there.

There is this one, the Explorer II. There is also a twin that is a lot bigger but similar.

I know what you are talking about, I might have a picture of it somewhere.

Very nice, Congratulations! Enjoy!

I don't believe I would have declared an emergency, because at this point there really isn't one. However, I would absolutely have let ATC know there was a problem and the nature of the problem. Using the words "precautionary landing" would have gone a long way toward getting on the ground as...

Found one, brought it home today. Thanks everyone.

I was on an Emirates flight from Seattle to Dubai last year. The 777-300 was completely full, I was the only passenger that stayed in Dubai.

I learned in a 1947 PA-12, it wasn't that unusual in 1977.

I'm just happy that I have no more writtens to take.

Back when the FAA gave the exams and they were free, guys would take the test without bothering to study for it. If they passed all was well, if not they knew what to study for the retake.

I've done a little flying, camping and fishing in the Missouri Breaks. A 150 should be able to handle most if the strips there.

You are right I dyslexiced that it should be 6.2 seconds not 2.6.

1986 Porsche Carrera 2.6 seconds.

The flex in flight could very well be 10-12 feet, though a little more at takeoff. They told us in B-777 school that it's wing flexes 21' at takeoff. All modern jetliners have high and low speed ailerons, typically the low speed (outboard) ailerons lock out above a certain speed or...

That sounds like the same thing we found with the O-470 in my C-180. The overhaul is nearly done now so hopefully we will be flying again soon.

I remember many years ago Richard Collins (of Flying Magazine) writing about twins, that if you can't afford it new then you probably can't afford it used either. There is no doubt some truth in that.

When I say wet side it's not a typo.
