I think I'd watch that movie!

I would first go get a physical from your local doc and have a blood panel run. I may be something as simple as low iron or vitamin D (it is winter after all). Has your work and/or sleep schedule changed in the last few months? Increased stress and lack of sleep can manifest in just feeling...

For passengers, especially ones I have not flown with before, instead of just asking them if they feel ok, ask them on a scale of 0 to 10 how close they are to puking. Many people will try and tough it out and not tell you that they are starting to feel unwell untill they are ready to puke...

The 150 I learned to fly in had a usable load of 524#. Before we all got tall and fat, that was totally doable with a 150# guy, #120 pound wife, couple of 35# kids, full fuel of 135# and you still had 49 pounds for luggage.

Mayo on one side, cheese on the other, meat in the middle.

If I was going to go through that much hassle, I'd put a stick in the floor instead of yokes :)

Ouch. Didn't a TBM slice up an RV at Osh a few years ago? It looked like those pictures of whales hit by boats, row of slices up the tail. EDIT: Found it. Passenger died, pilot lived.

Something simililar, I learned early in training in a 172 to hold the throttle with my thumb sticking out over the carb heat. Can't be full throttle without the carb heat in. Handy for two reasons, you don't try and take off with the carb heat on, and on a go around you push the carb heat in...

There is a special sealant for wood subfloors to seal in pee smell, its shellac based.

My favorite is finding a .22LR cartridge replacing the old glass ones in '66 Mustang when I bought it!

I though it was a product of money? :)

My GP owns/runs the walk in clinic I use. No appointments, first come, first served, period. 3 pm cutoff, lock the doors. I like it that way because I know for sure I can see him any day I want, although it may require a wait. I rarely wait more than a half hour once you figure out what...

I would at least use a steel jerry can because they dont leak or vent. Wavian still makes them. https://wavianusa.com/

You need to qualify your question with what year you soloed and what type of airport. Learning in a cub off a grass field in 1965 is not the same as learning at a class C airport today in a glass panel 172.. Hell, you'll have more taxi and hold time at a big airport before you solo than it...

Thats the thing, let the 5.5 years remain a mystery. The whole show could just be about the people dealing with it, how their lives have changed, how the people they left behind deal with the whole situation, etc. Hundreds of story lines that don't need to come from The X Files.

Thank you for your service Shepard. Your line about I found interesting. My boss was was a ground pounder in VN, Army ranger in a LRRP unit mostly in Cambodia and Laos. The few times over the last 20 years that we got enough coctails in him to talk about it, one thing he mentioned was...

It started out good, but is slowly loosing me with the supernatural spin. Sorry, but I've already seen The Langoliers and Lost.

With todays modern structural foams, epoxy resins, carbon fiber, vaccume bagging, etc. it would be awesome to see someone reengineer Rutans planes to take advantage of the modern composits.

FAA does not allow those.
