    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    What is "geomagnetic center" SE of KEZF on sectional

    No, that’s for solar wind control! or is actually an alien dna inventory center, or maybe I’m misremembering the x files from 30 years ago

    What plane would you buy in my situation?

    No one has mentioned two doors! 182 has two doors!!!!! Much better than crawling over the wing or across seats Of course someone mentions it as I’m typing this

    I thought Lindbergh the poster arguing for marriage was funny considering Lindbergh the old pilot’s second (third?) family

    I’m inspired by your trip but scared of flying over water. I just need a good link to an appropriate sailboat that can carry my 182 across the ocean parts of the trip

    GA transportation of (personal) firearms and ammo

    I don’t think the average ga plane can handle nearly 200# in the back, so calculate your weight and balance! As to the rest of it, I have no idea. Ammunition stability in an engine out scenario?

    C182 Engine Question
