    Why are these planes still using toxic fuel?

    I just got done reading that article about 30 minutes ago. I am genuinely interested in the data of increased lead levels, but they present none. I think there has to be some impact, but is it just on the barely detectable level, or is it actually a serious concern for the community? That...

    Flight Simulation (for IR practice mainly) on Mac

    Honeycomb yoke is nice. Off topic - I’m loving msfs 2020 for graphics, but think the default flight models need some work. Even on PC I think default X-plane is the best option for IFR practice at this time.

    Do pilots still navigate?

    I use a GPS often but learned to fly with paper charts and a /A plane. While I use the GPS typically to Navigate I’m constantly aware of where my nearest airport it and my current general location. If i had a GPS outage I would likely continue to my destination just looking outside to verify...

    Rough River 2021 - 2I3 - 4/30 - 5/2

    I actually might be able to make this one. I’ll have to get out all my Osh19 supplies and set up camp at rough river! I’ve never been but it’s only about 1.5 hours flying from DKX.

    Bicyclist rant

    Did you end up getting a ride in today? Curious if you noticed any difference with high ozone. That’s something I’ve never checked or considered when going for a ride.

    New 2020 G6 Cirrus

    I think 95% of us on this board aren’t buying new planes, but it seems that the majority of those that are buying new piston airplanes are choosing Cirrus. The price of a new airplane is pretty wild, but if I was a high net worth individual and wanted to buy a new airplane to take my family...

    11foot8 bridge lives on...

    Maybe he cleared it coming from the other direction with an extra 10k lbs in the back, and he was on the return leg after dropping off the load. I hope he took out the full insurance!

    Southeast PoA [Post Xmas Burgers] - GMU [2020]

    I’m leaning towards not going based on the weather (freezing level) and having to cross the mountains. I’ll re-evaluate in the morning.

    San Diego Bay Tour - Wow

    I did that when I was there about a year ago (Rented a 182 with First Flight at Brown). It was awesome. My only regret was not taking more pictures!

    Lots of crashes in the news lately

    In hindsight my statement was not the most appropriate. The intention of my statement was to point out the folly in making factual statements “Lost one of those super dependable PT6’s” this early in the process. I preface this statement that the poster of that statement may have been aware of...

    Lots of crashes in the news lately

    Yes that was the joke. They only mentioned it the “small plane crash” about 10 times during the LSU game that all my family was watching. Now I’m waiting for the questions when I talk to them next.

    Lots of crashes in the news lately

    Link to the NTSB final? Actually a post impact pic showing prop blades may be telling. I just haven’t seen any info yet that points to a direct cause.
