What do you fly? Recreational or Professional? And Welcome! -Skip

This. I wish every hot start procedure list started with: “for Continental engines” or “for Lycoming engines” because they are different! -Skip

This is also true of the Liberty ships. The volume of production was incredible. Although it was more of a PR stunt than status quo, they actually assembled and launched one Liberty ship in one 24 hour day. Go Rosie! -Skip

It refers to the firewall. -Skip

@mandm I don’t know about Cessna, but I believe that the Piper plug takes the battery out of the circuit when it is used. So the answer to your question is “No” for Brand P. -Skip

The manual is probably available on line. Google the model number and brand name and it will likely come up for you. -Skip

Investigators are “working to identify the owner”? Why not just look up the N-number in the FAA database? That part at least is easy… -Skip

Sounds like a Saratoga II. Long, skinny wings resulted in no fuel visible through the filler when there was a lot left. Solution: a factory installed mechanical fuel gauge visible on the ground or in flight. -Skip

At an untowered field, your mobile phone won’t be helpful at all. -Skip @mandm

@bryankloos The restaurant at KBID is tiny (but good). The one at KMVY is much bigger. Pick your poison! -Skip Ps. I trained at Three Wing at KBDR. Is that where you fly from?

JFK. No joke! The former TWA terminal. -Skip

I was told by my Doc that the action mechanism for Zepbound is that it slows the emptying of the stomach so you feel full longer. -Skip

My HP 9015e advertised scan to email but the machine will not do that. No apologies from HP, not even a shoulder shrug and a half-hearted “sorry”. Other than that, it is a great machine! -Skip

They are hard to find in a smoke-free restaurant! -Skip

Does the active ingredient work on junior high school aged males, too? J/K! Ok, more seriously: A few houses ago, I had a house that had several rain filled ponds. Puddles is more accurate. The Bacillus Thuringensis (spelling of this word could be wildly incorrect) active ingredient of the...
