We have supposedly well educated and very influential people in Seattle saying all kinds of ridiculous stuff. The rest of the state pretty much ignores Seattle liberals and their self-serving proclamations of virtue.

Yeah, I'm definitely aware of the higher/wider pattern for the turbine traffic. And, I agree that if you're gonna fly over from the upwind side in order to enter, you need to be aware of turbine traffic that may be flying a 1500' agl pattern. But, I've never personally witnessed that being...

I think a big part of the problem is people passing judgement on all these "non-regulatory" FAA documents, like the AIM and AC90-66b without really studying and understanding them. Things like when doing the preferred crossing midfield from the upwind side turn onto the 45, being at least 500'...

If a one degree error equals a 1nm (6076') deviation at 60 DME, then a 3,300' lateral deviation would be something over 30 DME, wouldn't it? How hard are you having to look to find the runway at minimums?

I'm not so sure that the direction he was pointing when he came to a stop is the direction he was going when he first hit the ground.

The VP racing jugs work great. They actually hold more than 5 gallons. Even accounting for expansion on warm days, I can easily fit 6 gallons in each one. I hoist them up and fill the 10gal tank on the Sonerai no problem. 1 caution: be careful threading those danged spouts into the caps. I...

Following their track log on FlightAware makes that even more interesting. Their altitude on the track log was never higher than 2000'msl. That seems a tad low to do practice stalls over a populated area like that. Were they actually doing a practice engine out approach to the football field...

Maybe he was giving the finger to the WSU Cougars guy from last week. UW fans are pretty touchy! https://keyw.com/richland-wsu-super-fan-flight-plan-etches-gigantic-cougars-logo-in-the-sky/

I did 22 years in the Navy. More than 2,500 flight hours in helicopters as an enlisted crewman. 2 deployments to hostile fire zones and more than 5 years cumulative of at-sea time. I got out without applying for a disability rating because it seemed to me, even back then, at best a lot of...

To get the best exchange rates, the rule used to be "buy on credit card for non-food "shopping" and western style sit-down restaurants/bars. But, carry cash for buying food at hawkers". Raffle's used to be the best place to exchange USD for SD.

The last time I had a Singapore Sling at The Long Bar was many years ago (early 80's). In 2019, I went back to Singapore. I had to get a map and study it real hard just to find Raffle's. Even the Government House was hard to find. Finally, I went to the Marina Bay Sands and sat in the Ce La...

The OLED Super Retina displays with the rounded borderless screens might be what the OP is about. Upgrading from an older phone, the difference is the display quality is startling at first. Putting the phone in a case that, in effect, puts a border around it, detracts from that just a little...

I think the 1" wide tape should work very well if you follow the size and placement guidelines in the instructions.

"Yo mama" wasn't the direction I thought this thread was going. As soon as I read the title of the thread, I thought about all the mom humor that seems to be inundating my Instagram feed since the birth of my first grandchild. Its all a bit too much. Especially since my Instagram (was)...

Hi neighbor! I'm just up the road a ways (and a ferry ride, unless you drive around). Let me know if you're heading up to Arlington or Skagit. I have an airplane and hangar at Arlington. And, also fly out of Skagit regularly.

$217/yr for a Sonerai II, liability only (no hull coverage).

Yep, Either Renton Or Auburn would be easiest for you then. Check out these guys. I always hear good things about them: https://www.rainierflightservice.com/ https://spanaflight.com/

Depends on where exactly you're gonna be. If you're gonna be north of downtown, you might look at Paine field (KPAE), there's are a couple of FBOs that'll be happy to check you out in one of their aircraft. I'd suggest you bring your passport and plenty of money. If you're in downtown proper...

A rental/trainer out of Alternate Air at Boeing Field. It'll be interesting to read the preliminary report.

I've flown a 172M with dual G5s and 2 axis GFC 500. Flew a coupled LPV approach hands off all the way to minimums (foggles). Very, very cool! I cannot wait to get my RV-8 finished. It has dual ADHARS, AP and GNS430. I'm installing avionics now. But will have to remove it all once its all...
