Best Interwebs post I've seen in my LIFE!!

+1. Definitely a steep angle of descent.

My stepson played in high school and loved it. He was the smallest guy on his team but very fast and a ferocious tackler. His clothes were often in tatters after matches. It's by far my favorite sport to photograph... the facial expressions are priceless.

I got my TW endorsement in 2014 after almost 30 years of flying. I wish I would have done it MUCH sooner. TW airplanes are a BLAST! Did it make me a better pilot? Probably not. But it definitely made me a more versatile pilot.

I own a Mooney Acclaim Type S - it's my traveling machine. I also own an RV-8 - it's the plane I actually fly.

Yes, I was mocking the journalists, not you!

Challenging, yes. Near fatal? I think not.

I sat in the Acclaim Ultra last year and the panel is indeed lower because they removed the annunciator panel. It's a nice improvement. I think they did a very good job on the new panels, basically eliminating the flaws in the Acclaim and Ovation panels.

Good fire updates can be had at www.sfgate.com.

Shawn, which field are you flying out of on the west coast? I don't recognize it.

I sealed the openings so they couldn't flee!

I found an active wasp nest in my gas barbecue last year (we were away traveling for a while) so I duct taped all the openings shut and lit 'er up! Extremely satisfying.

The belly shot is definitely unique! I've had all my planes photographed air-to-air and not a single belly shot was taken.

I have a 128GB iPhone 6s Plus for sale. It's pristine. https://denver.craigslist.org/mob/6262589510.html

Yes.

This is exactly what I'm doing. Going to watch the eclipse airborne over northwestern Oregon while enroute from Seattle to the Bay Area.

It's because I departed from a 10,000' runway and keep the gear down while I still have usable runway ahead of me. At shorter fields I retract them much earlier.

Here's a video of my Mooney taken from below the empennage. I don't tap my brakes on takeoff, and the mains have stopped rotating by the time I raise the gear.

I have quite a few aviation friends and fly regularly with a couple of them.

It's the latter. Welcome to CA. I take it the $800 for the state is because your plane is in an LLC?
