To offer the opposite perspective after using Solidworks (at home), Rhino (at home), ProE (at work), Catia (at work), and NX (at work) I prefer NX to any of the other options. TeamCenter is another story. That said, all will get the job done.

My wife’s grandfather was enroute for the land invasion. He said when they got news that Japan surrendered there was a big celebration on his boat and everyone got wasted. Like others above said, he was also convinced he was on a one way trip.

Banner Life didn’t give me a rider with the piloting exception. They had a form for me to fill out about it, but they issued a policy without the rider.

From the 2020 CDC data - make of it what you will. We each have our own risk tolerance: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db427.htm Heart disease: 696,962 Cancer: 602,350 COVID-19: 350,831 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 200,955 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 160,264 Chronic...

You really don’t need to be that close for decent air to air photos. Just talk about expectations ahead of time and come up with a plan. Know how/where you’re going to meet up. Know what you’re going to do if you lose sight of each other. Don’t get too close. Pay attention. Break it off if...

Can you plot accidents per year. Back in 1998 the RAF2000 was one of, if not the, most popular gyroplanes. They were found to be unstable due to the high thrust line and lack of a horizontal stab. Some folks retrofitted them with horizontal stabs. The Sparrowhawk then replaced the RAF as one...

how long is the wait? 50 years?

For what it’s worth combustion testing inside quartz chambers isn’t rare (not common either). Here’s a link to a study using one to study combustion dynamics during ignition. https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03497056/document

<rant> Maybe I’m showing my age, but why are there so many posts like this that are videos. I’d like to see the content, I hate having to watch videos and hear people talking when I could scroll through 3 or 4 photos and get the same information. just show me the photos and write a sentence or...

They offered my wife and I $500 each once. We said that we’d take it if they were willing to go to $2k each. It was a short 3 day trip and we’d have missed out on a full day. They balked and said they couldn’t go that high. I think they eventually found someone else to bump.

Sorry, that’s terrible advice and terrible food safety practices. The FDA recommends tossing it if it was left out for more than 2 hours. They’re probably extra conservative, but I wouldn’t push it much past that.

After my head injury I decided it wasn’t worth jumping through the FAA’s hoops. Basic Med & Sport pilot for me since then.

Too bad they gave it a bubble canopy and not the much prettier razorback configuration

Some air museums take books as donations and then either add them to their collection or offer them for sale to visitors. At least that’s what the New England Air Museum does. I’ve gotten some pretty cool books from them in the past. Probably donated by someone with a collection like yours.

Where do you live that you can go more than 10 minutes without hearing an aircraft fly overhead? I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced that.

Gyros are a blast. Definitely recommend a lesson in one if you get a chance.

Alternator, no. Lights, batteries, and oil. Yeah. Those will all impact my willingness to buy a car. Anything that’s replaced semi-regularly needs to be easy to access.

Can you ask for records from the hospital? I assume you’ve tried that.

lol. I don't know about the government side, but in industry starting salaries are typically in the $60k-80k. Mid-career is $100k-125. End of career at a large company in a very senior position (not executive) could approach $200k, but you're more likely in the $125-175k range.
