    Gender reveal gone very wrong.

    Upon further review, you have a point. Certainly not a full hopper of colored water but it could be a light surry of water and powder. Something has to have enough mass to drop. Will have to see what they say. Wing folding at the root is going to have some interesting details. RIP.

    MIG-23 Down at Thunder Over Michigan Airshow At Willow Run.

    Well, there's a real test of a relationship. . . when the backseater punches you out while you are still PIC and handling the situation. Doggone lucky that it didn't hit anything and apparently the back seater didn't have the ending up in an apartment cross his mind at all. . . they were a...

    Unfortunate plane crash: Wagner boss Prigozhin reported killed in crash

    Back to aviation. First look at the spinning plane and the plane pitching up and down tells me that the stab is still there, otherwise it would be tumbling nose over tail. But it seems to have little pitch control in a barely controlled spinning like vertical descent. White smoke looks like...

    Safety wire fuel filter bail?

    These old ones still work and you do need to maintain them. Yes to the bail wire safety wire. I used a simple wrap less complicated, it’s just enough to keep the bail from spreading.

    It will be interesting to read about the Piper AD here and the planes history. RIP.

    How much tail wheel time for realistic insurance?

    We also need to factor in the age of the pilot to keep comparing apples to apples.

    Read the NOTAMS

    Ok, putting restaurant closings on anything seems just odd to me when the others post about information overload.

    OSH - AIRCRAFT DOWN SOUTH OF ULTRALIGHT AREA

    Seems like the idea of personal responsibility vs. corporation responsibility is a debatable subject. A reminder to insure to a level where you would feel comfortable in self-insuring hull damage if anything happens over and above that level. Also liability insurance is a no-brainer for your...

    Fatal discovery flight during takeoff at North Perry 8/4/23

    And wires to trim tab could, possibly, maybe be compromised by the cabin crush and rescue, so NTSB will have to look closer for trim position.

    Video of C-152 Stall/Spin @ Quebec City (CYQB)

    "For all we know the rudder position may be entirely passive" IMHO, unlikely - and you can see that left rudder faintly before this, as the light shines through the rudder balance tab and the vertical stab. More likely the student (if indeed he was licensed, which a post tended to doubt) had a...

    OSH - AIRCRAFT DOWN SOUTH OF ULTRALIGHT AREA

    It goes against what first eyewitness reports were at the time. Possible the witnesses could not distinguish between the two, given the cabin on the gyro. Tragic video above, sorry for this loss. Like some noted, there was some cowboy flying that day.

    Video of C-152 Stall/Spin @ Quebec City (CYQB)

    Left Rudder into the stall. Flaps are normal short field. Simple departure stall from a mushy climb. CFI should have done more stalls and slow flight. That’s it.

    Dumb Tire Change Questions

    Beads: Dish washing soup helps. Talc and baby Powder: Fine if it doesn't have any corn starch. Tube: Why not replace it. It's the one thing that will leak due to old age. Inflate, deflate, inflate again. Red dot orientation, check.
