    Very cool - that's a whole lotta Sonexes! Or is it Sonexi? What is the plural of Sonex?

    Motorcycles?

    I got my MC endorsement in 2016. After thorough consideration of different machines and the type of riding that most appealed to me, I ended up buying a new Vespa GTV 300 scooter. And I haven't had any regrets. I mainly use it to run errands around town, but it also performs well on the highways...

    Vinyl records

    Eight-track was at its tail end when I was in high school. Remember how they'd flip to the next track in the middle of a song? To this day I can hear those songs on FM radio and expect a break in the song for the track to change. My 8-track memories are ingrained in my brain.

    Vinyl records

    I'm also from the era of vinyl, and no one was happier than me when CDs took over (and happier still when MP3, etc., supplanted CDs). I never liked having to flip a record, nor did I like the crackling and popping. No matter how hard I tried to keep static and dust off the vinyl, there was still...

    I am a rude hangar neighbor

    The local A&P gets frustrated at times with old guys dropping in to chat. At least that's what he told me one day when I dropped by to chat. :D Myself, there've been times when I had an hour or so to go for a quick local flight, only to have someone drop by and start chatting as soon as I get...

    Run-Up Area Etiquette

    As others have replied, it's poor etiquette and inconsiderate. I'd chalk it up to the perps being either oblivious or a-holes - one or the other. They're the types who don't put up their shopping carts or short-tip their waiters.

    Crock pot vs. Instant Pot

    I've looked into instant pots, but can't bring myself to get one. I have an old crock pot (circa 1980s) that functions perfectly for slow cooking. I also have a high-quality stove-top pressure cooker that's served me well for many years. With these two gadgets in my kitchen arsenal, I can't...

    R.I.P. James “The Amazing” Randi

    RIP to a truly "amazing" and courageous man. Being a public skeptic isn't easy - he'd have been executed in a horrible manner in earlier centuries. He wasn't an "in your face" skeptic - he was factual, entertaining, and graceful in his presentation. As such, he's been very influential in the...

    Help me understand....

    I read that article this morning and had similar thoughts as the OP. IMO, if the pattern was busy, then the C182 shouldn't have buzzed the runway. If not busy, then buzzing the runway was perfectly OK, as long as it was done safely and no rules were broken. GA is supposed to fun, right?
