Just a reminder...pictures by 5/2! Or it didn't happen. :cool:

Most (all?) airplanes are, to lesser or greater degree, intolerant of poor judgment, knowledge, skill, and technique. The difference is how many different ways you can dig yourself into a hole and the ability to dig yourself back out before the consequences are irreversible. A J3 or 172 is...

The money is in the $80m aircraft, not the little GA airplanes. There is an aircraft interiors/upholstery/carpet family business at my home airport that does mostly small GA, not the more expensive planes. But they do a lot of other stuff to be viable - including refurbishing camper/RV...

Interesting N number...

Agree with @FormerHangie, with a variation - find a 150/160 hp Tri Pacer that's been converted to tailwheel. I have a friend who flies one out of our Rocky Mountain airport and drops into all sorts of backcountry grass strips and river gravel/sand bars. It's a great little airplane if you fly...

Don't mess with a good thing. The rules don't stay the same. :fingerwag: I noticed before we were married, and still living in our own places, there was "her stuff" and "my stuff". Now it is "her stuff" and "our stuff". You've been warned. :D

Let me guess...your twin daughters are also horse-crazy too?

Depends on the autopilot. On some if you are in Heading mode and switch to Nav mode when the route from the NAV instrument (VOR or GPS) is too far away for the autopilot to figure out a route intercept it won't switch. It "arms" NAV mode instead, until it can figure out where the course is...

No big issue if you are low enough and near enough to a populated area to have coverage. Bluetooth on your headset or audio panel makes a big difference. I never initiate calls when I am in the air, but have taken a few over the years - although most of the time my phone is off when I'm...

Northern Rockies.

In the interests of accuracy in reporting I have FTFY.

It's been snowing steadily all weekend. :( Waiting for it to stop before I plow the driveway. Tomorrow forecast high is 53 just in time to go back to work.:mad:

Thanks in advance. And none of the explanations in the survey apply. Everyone knows it's magic that creates lift...

My wife and I have a long standing agreement - I don't ever ask her to "help" with the airplane and she doesn't ever ask me to "help" with her horses. So far it seems to be working. We've been married 32 years. The other day she asked if I would help hang some wallpaper she's thinking about...

If you flight planned with KEAU as your final destination airport, when you select the PROC (procedures) button and then choose Select Approach the 430 will give you the approaches for KEAU. The 430 always defaults to the last airport in the flight plan. If you had an approach loaded for KVIQ...

What does being able to move a paint spray gun have to do with the chemistry and other detailed technical knowledge needed to properly select and specify protective coatings to preserve an airplane?

I thought she lived in Iowa? (But that just means you get the same weather as Minnesota, 10 minutes later).

Hmmm. That's better than owning a self driving car. :)

And then say they are sorry and apologize. ;)

Ya, like maybe an F16 on your wing wondering what you were doing? :D
