They'll have to be a little careful with the naming of the sequence, since the original name "Maverick" has already been taken by an excellent movie starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Garner et al.

Who is the gal with the Oriental guy?

"Absquatulation", a word for all time. The English sure have a talent for the use of the English language ... possibly the source of the term "eponymous" ... or sumthin'. It's probably best if I absquatulate now.

Not that I could determine; however, others may have gotten something new from Juan's presentation.

Both of us were around 160 pounds each at the time, but we still managed to load that thing up to a tad over gross. "Stupid" might be a better word, but I appreciate your benevolent assessment of our flawed decision making process.:rolleyes: "Bold" is a kind way to describe that flight, but we...

A friend (it was his airplane) and I did a similar trip in a Cessna 150 back in 1970 ... yeah, I'm really that OLD. Anyway, we flew from Atlanta to San Luis Obispo, then to Seattle, then Leadville, Colorado, then Denver and then back to Atlanta. Of course, that's the short story, since there...

Like oranges in Florida (in season), Ice in Alaska is there for the picking (in season).

The movie "Always" features some fancy flying with an A26, PBY, Aeronca 7AC etc.

Aviation related? I like two recent Tom Cruise movies: "American Made" and "Top Gun Maverick". I think that the "Top Gun Maverick" is MUCH better than the original "Top Gun". By the way, Tom Cruise is an accomplished pilot and did all of his character's flying in "American Made". Tom also is...

Why would you *still* be angry about that because it was a long time ago, and there is always Pepsi or Dr. Pepper or Coors. I'm *currently* miffed at Coke for their new wokeness and am calmly (more or less) sitting in a corner sipping my Pepsi. Well since beer is one of the basic food groups...

Eastern Airlines had three (as I recall) of these for use at some of the high altitude South American airports. They were supposed to only be used in the event of an engine failure on takeoff. I don't know if this capability was ever used, but on a hot day at high altitude ... my guess would...

I flew to Hamburg, the home of the real Hamburger, on a pilgrimage to experience the meaning of life, but instead found it on a sesame bun. But then none of this makes any sense to the sane.

The NTSB site was once easy to use, but then along came CAROL ...

What is 20G30?

Nope, I'm afraid it's done. A fresh water dunking can usually be fixed with enough $$$$; however salt water is a pretty good conductor which destroys anything of an electronic nature and initiates corrosion of disimmilar metals. A further problem is the prop strike of a turbine engine and...

Scratch one Caravan. After its salt water immersion, I guess it could be used as ... yard art?

I suspect that the drug sniffing dogs are the least of your potential problems if it'd ... "been serviced in South America". Hopefully, the "Stateside" annuals have been able to determine that that your airplane is in good shape and compliant with any relevant ADs.

If there is uncertainty regarding which wire color connects to different wire colors, then the work of a professional electrician on your ceiling fan installation may help you sleep better on those dark and stormy nights.

No flakes (of snow) in sight here.

Where is this edge thing? Am I on it or near it? I need to know before I go outside today.
