The easy answer to the zero carbon emission by airlines question is...wait for it...they will go out of business trying and, therefore, stop flying all together. Hence zero carbon footprint... TWA, Eastern, PanAm, and a host of other airlines were ahead of their time!! No carbon footprint for...

Excellent video and glad your band is weathering the storm.

I put my Montague (folding 26") bike in my Arrow. I also had to remove the seat and rear rack to get it to fit (no big deal) and, of course, the front wheel comes off before you fold the bike.

A few seconds here too!!!! Too early in the day, I guess.

Brownie Hawkeye for me!

Maybe PA-28 series coming?????

Here in Colorado Springs we only have about 8 inches plus and pretty strong wind gusts so I am postponing the snowblowing until the winds abate. By that time the drifts should be stabilized. Tomorrow it will be time to work on the hangar apron and taxiway :(

I'm in Colorado Springs, about 60 miles south of Denver and I agree with Murphey...no bugs to speak of (like in the south), no humidity to cause webs to grow between our toes, and clear blue sky in the summer. Just tourists trying to escape from those things!

ARRGHHon? Oh, my...a pun so early in the day!!!

My '79 Jeep Cherokee has the headlight dimmer switch on the floor in that location.

I noticed the oil filler door was open during flight. Latch problems? I have had to re-work the one in my Arrow several times to fix that. Also...from what source did you get the wingtip mirror?

According to my wife, my hearing is poor when in actuality it has just developed a steeply sloped "notch filter" that corresponds to the frequencies of her voice :)

small correction...my Arrow has 2 on each aileron and one on each flap plus 3 on the stabilizer and one on the rudder.

I had wicks installed on my Arrow after flying about 20 nm from a TS and heard the squelch break due to static on my 530W. Also, as posted above, flying in dry snow (Colorado snow) or rain causes static build-up so to protect my radios the wicks seemed to be a logical choice. There are 3 on...

The Space Shuttle would put the gear down on VERY short final!

I started with the STec 20/30, then added the 60 PSS altitude hold with auto trim then the ST 901 for GPSS and finally the ST-360 for altitude pre-select and alert. Dual G5s provide the lateral and vertical course guidance from my GNS 530W. The system now will fly a GPSS (or VOR) route...

Great accounting of your COLD trip!!! Thanks :)

I had a very similar experience with my '69 Arrow back in 2008 (as I recall). Had flown to OSH and was almost home but stopped about 100 nm away to drop off a friend. It was HOT and as I did a quick pre-flight for the short trip home I noticed what looked like fine grease on the right side...

I went that same route; i.e. started with the STec 20/30 that did have "altitude hold" although it really demanded very frequent manual trim action as the STec would beep and flash demanding manual intervention when it could no longer hold the altitude. The next step was to add auto-trim...

The European Galileo and Chinese BeiDou systems are now global in coverage in addition to GLONASS (Russian) and GPS. Some cell phones already process GPS, GLONASS and Galileo for US market. Soon the Beidou system will probably be accessible too. BeiDou also features a two-way link through...
