    Aircraft Stalls as Skydivers Prepare to Jump

    Jumped once, lived to tell. Saw little incremental value in doing it again!

    MSFS 2020 never runs

    It works fine for me ... Microsoft et al's software skills are much better than my simulator piloting skills. My biggest complaint is that I find it harder to pilot the sim than a real airplane. There have been an incredible number (and size) of updates, and if you don't check it every few...

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    Wow -- there are no words. Wishing the best for both (all three, actually) of you, whatever that may be. Hang in there, you will find you're stronger than you think.

    COVID Vaccine Booster

    I was fine after 1/2 dose Moderna booster, but wifey was down for the day, same as the 2nd dose. Even if you think you feel fine, I wouldn't fly for at least 24.

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    Wait ... what? The dinos weren't real? Darn Hollywood, fooled me again!

    Possession charges with intent

    I'm sure the "shopping bag" was tongue-in-cheek, but 100 grams is only about a quarter pound. Lots of value I imagine, but not so much volume.

    Cataracts - Vivity or Eyhance intraocular lenses

    I don't fly at night, but I drive a lot. I had terrible halos with my cataracts, now thankfully none. I went with the classic lenses, because I knew others who had problems with the high-tech options. I'm glad I chose what I did. I use readers for close work (like phone or laptop), but can...

    Plane crashes into homes in San Diego, Ca

    It's hard to prove a negative. I'd rather require him to prove it's true, since it goes against what the overwhelming majority of the medical and public health community says. But for starters, his willingness to believe (or just lie to his readers about) that "cockpit video" certainly calls...

    Question about sticks...

    When I think of what you can do with a stick, I think of this: I'm sure there are even better examples, but wow.

    Busting a TFR

    Well, the closest airport is KGED, so I wouldn't necessarily see it. Would stand out though!

    Newbie questions...

    I'm still chuckling at your then-5-year-old's request! A very self-aware kid.

    Busting a TFR

    Not debating the appropriateness of TFRs, just curious about this. I live in Rehoboth Beach, and noting a TFR posted for a planned POTUS visit this weekend (only the second, I think, so far), I'm wondering what difficulties your friend has had getting here. There has been very little...

    177RG Lake Havasu

    I believe (based on his past posts) that Gary had a hangar at Eagle Airpark (A09), about 30 miles north of KHII, with only a 4,800 ft. runway. KHII is only 300 ft. higher and has an 8,000-ft. runway, so I doubt that DA would have surprised him. I wonder, though, if he went to KHII to fuel up...

    [N/A] Using a property as an AirBnB

    Well, that's a whole nother thread, but we currently own homes in two HOAs, and are happy with both. Gated, 24-hr security, pools, common areas, etc.

    [N/A] Using a property as an AirBnB

    Make sure the HOA (if there is one) allows short-term rentals, if that's what you want to do. Our HOA in AZ specifically prohibits rentals for less than (I forget exactly, but let's say at least 3 months for winter season). Despite that, there are a couple of properties rented out through...

    Arena's! I had lunch from there yesterday (not the one at the airport, but in Rehoboth, 5 minutes from my house.) Looks like maybe the Reuben, with tots?

    What's the mask/vaccine requirement situation in your area?

    From your article: "Recent CDC data found that 74% of those who tested positive for Covid-19 in a Massachusetts analysis had been fully-vaccinated." As has been widely pointed out, 74% shouldn't be surprising in an area (Provincetown) with some of the highest vaccination rates in the country.

    What's the mask/vaccine requirement situation in your area?

    Sorry to continue an off-topic drift, but this just isn't true. Presumably you're referring to the VAERS data, which show that some 6,000+ people in the U.S. who died had also been vaccinated against Covid. There is no evidence of causation. When you consider how many people have died (of all...
