Ran across this little gem from the SMU Jones Film YouTube channel.

Before I became a pilot, I took a PP ride at a fly-in back in 2003, and it was wayyy cool! I was on the verge of ordering one, one day away from writing a check, and I happened to run into a local pilot/CFI who talked me out of it, told me to put that money towards actual flight training. I came...

I've been using six 2.5 gallon NO SPILL cans since 2013 to haul the best mogas I can get in my parts: 91 octane E10. 2.5 gallons is easier to haul up a ladder for my high-wing.

If she would describe in detail how flying affects her nether regions, I might take her more seriously.

I'm not on Strava, but I average about 40-50 miles per week on my Cyclete "stand-up" bike (see below). I used to ride 150+ miles per week on my upright bikes before major back surgery ended that. I eventually switched to recumbents and got back up to the 150+ miles per week routine. Then a...

I haven't made one - and plan on keeping it that way! But I admire those who do.

She's flying a Shark Aero with a Rotax 912iS. Cruises at 150 mph burning 4 gal per hour. Seems like a fine platform for such a trip.

I've always thought dwarves would make the best mechanics, especially for installing avionics.

I figured they couldn't stand the odorous stank of one another.

Be sure you have barf bags on hand. You never know how a first-timer's tummy will react, even in smooth air.

You gotta use a cast iron skillet, get it blazin' hot, to sear the meat really well on each side. Then deglaze the skillet with red wine and fresh garlic/onion/thyme sprigs/whatever. Then add butter or heavy cream and reduce the resulting sauce. Do all this while your steak rests on the side...

No one can fold a paper chart. NO ONE!

We were in Lubbock last Friday and saw a C-47 aloft over the city. At a stop light, I turned down the radio and rolled down my windows so I could hear the roar of its Pratt & Whitneys as it passed overhead. Yes, the Silent Wings Museum is definitely worthwhile. It's at KLBB because that was...

A local kid died from contacting a guy wire while flying pipeline patrol in south Texas about 3-4 years ago. If you're the pilot AND observer, I can understand how it would be easy to become distracted.

Might be a good way to dump an A-hole CFI. Clip a Bravo, then go wide-eyed and proclaim your CFI never taught you about the rules.

My first Pfizer dose was a non-event. The second kicked my butt - felt like I had a mild flu plus fatigue for about 48 hours.
