What time is supper? I might be able to make it in the afternoon.

That is true. I have heard of cases where the wing strut on a Cessna was damaged and failed. I read somewhere it was possible that it was damaged by someone standing in the middle of the strut and bent it while checking the fuel.

The owners that I know that live on the coast typically just the them where they are.

Valid point. I will see how the first one goes in and how much cargo space it takes up. The ones ive seen it didnt seem to take up much space. I think the peace of mind factor would still out weigh the disadvantages. There have been times ive been in some heavy turbulence and it would have...

Anyone have one of these installed on a 172? Looks like I might be installing one of these on a customers 172 soon, and Ive also been considering one for my 172 as well. The installation looks straight forward with attachments to the forward wing bolts. Thoughts?

Here was my campsite in the north 40. Nothing fancy but I had a good time. Spent 7 days at that location.

Friday evening was a easy approach. I pretty much flew the entire arrival per the notam and didnt hear a thing when i passed fisk, so I flew towards runway 9 for easy access to the N40, plus the wind was favoring 9. I finally made contact with the lady in the tower and was cleared for runway 9...

Looks like a nice airport with lots of planes based there. Wonder where all those planes will go.

One case comes to mind that I ran across once, A guy had just bought a 172 and brought it in for a annual and I noticed it had a incorrect prop on it, and after further investigation I find out it had a undocumented prop strike. The previous owner who was a A&P :eek: had a prop strike and...

I agree, ive seen a number of "fresh annual with sale" planes come into my shop and the new owners unhappy when they find out the plane hasnt had any care or maintenance for years and needs thousands of dollars worth of repairs to make it airworthy.

i was announcing my intentions and the planes impatiently waited while I landed on 36. Ive never let other pilots make my PIC decisions for me. Ive had similar issues with pilots landing on a x wind runway when there was a runway with no x wind that I was using.

I had the same issue landing at a airport last week. AWOS reporting a 4 kt wind favoring runway 36 and there was 4 planes in line departing on 18. I announced i was landing on 36 and they radioed up and told me to land on 18. I kept my mouth shut and proceeded to land on 36.

Yep. They had a small generator and a big screen TV. They were flying a turbo twin aero commander. They had every thing there including a sink.

Agreed. I had some campers behind me in the next row with a loud TV every night until 1am watching top gun every night. If it wasnt at OSH I would have lost it too. But like you I would think about all the planes and fall asleep.

No damage here other than my tent being full of water. I only saw one plane overturned on my way back to the north 40.

Well, im in row 510. I will stop by and visit!

I will stop by. Im camped out in the N40.

Where are you at in the N 40? Im in row 510

Im on my way now. Left yesterday and hoping to Arrive today at the north 40

Why do you have a non compete agreement if it was your own shop?
