That car was also near 1000lb lighter than a modern midsize. That is a big difference. And probably pretty gutless. Modern diesel will do that while being a lot heavier, safer, more comfortable and have a lot more performance and reliability Edit. Gas version was close to 1000 lighter...

i3, i8, Fisker(Karma now). Although the last two are hardly mass produced

^^ this! I'm well under 170lb. Also, consider when many of these planes were designed. We were a lot shorter and lighter.

I like making pepper steak(the french kind) at home. This has the sauce made with the cream, brandy, cracked peppercorns, and all he deliciousness left in the pan from the steak(fillet actually). Really good stuff. I never add any bottled sauce to my steak however.

You are not everyone. Putting 10g over the standard capacity in a M20K allows for 2 smaller people, bags, and an extra 45 min flight which may make a difference if you are flying to a beach airport with no services (very common around east coast) I’d literally use that on almost all my flights

This is a problem is plane is shared, but not really if you are a sole owner. Don't have it sitting at 90g. As far as this Mooney, I think this long range STC adds 36g to the tanks. Maybe filling it all the way is not very practical for 90% of situations(I could fly like that if I'm solo...

I have to agree...

You are comparing a professional, volunteer, hundreds of billions per year, first world military to a A"N"A. Of course they will not measure up. What I am saying is that throughout entire human history including most of USA's history(think back to Vietnam even) armies were made up of mostly...

Frankly, poor, uneducated, green soldiers make up vast majority of all human wars(even ours prior to becoming professional military), so that doesn't mean that much to me.

Not disputing the facts you present. Just adding context. Russians in WW2 were poor, uneducated, drafted males(and some females) who weren't battle hardened, lacked leadership(most skilled officers were killed years prior) and demonstrated poor battlefield performance in the beginning of the...

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/08/16/afghanistan-history-taliban-collapse-504977 This is as good of an explanation as any. It's not that they lack moral courage or will to fight. That's a bunch of US-centric nonsense. They just lack our concept of moral courage and will to die...

I can't speak of every state, I can only tell you that in my state you do not get a choice of the testing method. You refuse breathalyzer OR blood test, you get arrested. Without BAC number, you may beat the DUI charge, but FAA looks at this very differently. Many states do the same thing...

In my state and in many others, if you refuse BAC test your license will be suspended on the spot, and the penalties will be the same as DUI. Implied consent. Now, FST is another story More importantly for pilots who hold any medical certificate, that becomes a much more serious problem than...

Is there a difference? Both twin engines, no? Seems comparable to me. Seneca, I believe, does have the edge on passenger capacity. ;):p:cool:

Maybe 337? He said he's not going back to SE. Not a full circle, but a bit of a spiral.

Dry rental, i'd recommend against it.

I don't know much about flying twins so I will deffer to others for how many hours/year is enough to be proficient. But 60 hours is an average time to get a PPL in a single, is it not? From 0 experience. I would think that you do not need to do the same every year to retain all those skills...

22 slips quite well. All other things you said are true, but it does not require many hours to get used to. It's a pretty easy plane to fly once you account for a few things. Many of the proficiency issues revolve around more complicated avionics(vs non G1000 172). This can easily be...

I may be wrong, but I think you are overestimating Seneca’s realistic cruise speed. Unless you are really planning on going to 25000ft or wherever that 190kts is. I’m also fairly sure 22TN is faster than pa34 or at least as fast @ lower fuel burn. Cirrus is going to be a cheaper plane to rent...
