If you can find one that hasn't been "corrected" into a 7EC CONV.

IIRC the first Maule was built because B.D.M. was concerned about the "full load with full fuel" performance of the C-180 he was using to deliver rebuilt aircraft engines in...

For my employer I shipped a cardboard tube of blueprints from Duluth to Indianapolis. The ability to track shipments online was not a feature that made us have confidence in OOPS! Day One: MSP-ORD-MKE Day Two: MKE-ORD-MKE Day Three: MKE-ORD-MKE Day Four: MKE-ORD-MKE Day Five: MKE-ORD-MKE Day...

Dirty blonde-- take that as you will :) -- grandpa was from Saint Petersburg, a teenaged Sea Cadet on a Russian freighter that was loading American grain in Galveston Texas when the February Revolution took place. The ship's officers decided to wait, then they sought refuge in the United States...

Polar bear club :)

Easy... #1 BECAUSE "your best friend" has a propeller, wings, a fuselage, and an empennage... but no face.

Nyet, Russian submarines all run aground in Swedish coastal waters looking for tall bourgeois blondes.

Me too, it's just east of Fairbanks...

Ding Ding Ding... I truly wish I had an Airknocker in my hangar... Alas, I do not, nor do I have parts of one. I am (I think) two degrees of separation (I know someone who knows him) from someone who restored-- as in rebuilt from a pile of rust and a valid data plate one-- a beauty in navy blue...

A dozen years ago I bought a CUGIR .380. Basically it's a Romanian copy of a Walther PP. Very nice if you can find one.

Abomination! Abomination, I say! But Champion's 7FC and Lancer were offered with a yoke in front for the student pilot and a stick in back for the instructor. Making matters even worse Osceola put the third wheel in the wrong place on both. (Fortunately in the case of the 7FC there is a factory...

Sorry. I weigh 125 lbs.. The moron who did the numbers on the "remanufactured" TCDSs (Fraudulent... Fake TCDSs actually-- since the changes are provably part of an IT modification of the legal prior TCs and ATCs printed in the FR.) made beucoup errors. If I fly either of my pals Piper or...

1. I'd love to travel back in time 100 years (after visiting a coin shop and exchanging a bunch of cash). 2. I routinely ignore "Solo from front seat only" placards. 3. I have pieces of an Aeronca C-3 in my hangar, including a data plate.

Was it a flag flown over the Capitol Building while Willie Nelson was smoking herb up there? Or, maybe that was the White House...

Wow, I am sorry. I totally missed it... Please don't stop playing.

I'm not the umpire, but I didn't see you tag second base :) 's okay... Why, the Twenty-Second Amendment does not apply to two truths one lie... SWAG: #3 as the cost of space travel makes them rare. (Although some foreign diplomat put a moon rock given as an official gift up for sale on e-bay...)

Sorry,"nope" means that guessing that "1) I have NEVER piloted an airplane with a nose wheel." was a lie is incorrect, since it is true.

Nope (the answer directly above yours was for the previous quiz-master). Never in my life have I been at the controls of a "nose dragger." I have flown a sweetheart built by Aeronca as a 7FC. But decades earlier some kind soul made her a "7EC CONV" by restoring the third wheel to its proper...

Episode Five of the series on the restoration of Fokker Super Universal CF-AAM includes a 1934 wedding in the Yukon Territory where the bride flew in amoungst the boxes an barrels. Said they had 50 wonderful years after that.

?!? It weighs six or eight pounds?!? Literally thousands of people learned to fly in proper airplanes. :)
