    SkyBeacon vs. TailBeacon?

    The avionics guy who did mine says not to expect it to work with FlightAware. He basically described as a 1090 vs 978 thing, but that’s as far as the conversation went.

    What do you do for living (or used to)?

    Healthcare IT executive. I'm far removed from my system engineer and support days, but still love working with technology. It's also a far cry from my beginnings in law enforcement and the military, but after a stint as a Cold War tanker I moved into Combat Developments. That bridged me to IT...

    Finally The End (I Hope) of a Crazy Year

    Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) is the one you hear about most; Kansas City, Kansas (KCK) is just across the state line. There used to be a big difference, in my opinion, but development in the west of end of KCK has really been a boost for the whole area. Also of note are the Kansas-side cities...

    Yes, Rome has more total fountains, but KC lays claim to the most functional water fountains in the world.

    Finally The End (I Hope) of a Crazy Year

    BBQ is huge...but the joys of KC include the Chiefs, the Royals, Sporting KC, Kansas Speedway, the Plaza Lights during the holidays, the National World War I Museum and Memorial (designated by Congress as the nation's official WWI museum), the Kaufmann Center for the Performing Arts, the...

    Finally The End (I Hope) of a Crazy Year

    Haven't been here much the last year; company relocated me back to Kansas City from Mid-Missouri a year ago this week. Since then it's been 2 moves (1 apartment, 1 house), the evacuation of my aircraft from Jefferson City due to flooding in the spring, weeks of flying back and forth on SWA to...

    SkyBeacon vs. TailBeacon?

    Tailbeacon went on my Warrior this morning, glad to have it out of the way. Of course it occurs to me that the Warrior is now ready for 2020 and I'm not...so once again I'm behind the airplane :(

    PA 28-161 Rear Seat

    Ah, okay, that makes sense in light of something I saw in a YouTube video about saddle brackets. Thanks! FWIW, the cursing is still going on, but looking for a different model is definitely in play ;)

    PA 28-161 Rear Seat

    Hopefully, I haven't missed an existing thread; I did see one for a 28-181, but that seems to be a different setup. I'm getting ready to replace the battery in my Warrior II (1978 PA 28-161), and the bench seat in the rear is a challenge. I can raise it far enough to get the battery cover...

    Boeing 737s Grounded

    My job has me spending significant time in the back of 737’s these days. I have a lot of faith in you guys who are doing the driving and I wouldn’t have refused to fly with you in a Max 8; but I have to confess that as a guy with absolutely no control over the outcome of an incident, I’m...

    Leaving the Engine Running

    Even if the parking brake is on, I’m on the pedals anytime the engine is running. 20 minutes standing on the toe brakes is a little tough on the old calves... This. Worse than sore calves.

    One day I’ll learn :mad2:

    What I learned today. Things snowball.

    I’m sure I’ll find the exception at some point, but I’ve noticed that every SNAFU moment I’ve had since I got my certificate last year has always come back to me rushing. And it’s usually me rushing me. Working on that.
