The audio is harrowing - it's obvious he's disoriented, even as he sounds so calm and professional. When he reports "4,700" and gonna "pull up" there's a hint of panic in his voice - just a hint.

Three fatalities. This is the final exchange with ATC: https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/local-news/our-equipment-is-kind-of-faulty-last-call-to-air-traffic-control-recorded-before-coleman-county-plane-crash/

Curious to see answers for this common-sense question. Is there something about the S76 that prevents such a maneuver?

This one hurts, feels kind of personal. :mad2: I was a 16-year old kid in 1979 who didn't really have an interest in music - until I heard 2112. It was a transformative experience, like a sonic slap upside my head. It wasn't so much the lyrics, it was the SOUND - it was unlike anything I'd...

Yes, the drone operator got off. :D

Too much 100LL use in a Rotax 912 coupled with too few oil changes will result in lead sludge being deposited all over the engine, especially in the oil reservoir and the gearbox. That's why 91 or above mogas is recommended. The engine in that Coyote is over 10 years old, so I would want to...

Engine oil scavenges lead, and this same oil lubricates the gear box.

I can't speak for RANS airplanes, but I own several RANS bicycles, and they're great. I can speak for the Rotax 912 engines. They are pretty bulletproof and reliable, as long as they've received appropriate maintenance (like any engine). For that Coyote, I'd want to know if it's been run on...

Reminds me of a guy I took for his first GA plane ride earlier this year. After the flight, he became smitten with flying. He's an over-the-road independent trucker, so he's gone for long stretches. Apparently he was doing some research and sent me a photo of a Cirrus jet, said that's what he...

I obtained my MC license endorsement in 2016. I looked at various motorcycles, test rode a friends Harley then, without hesitation, bought a new Vespa GTV 300 ABS scooter, and I've had zero regrets. It cruises easily at 65 mph and does 75 WOT, plus I can haul lots of groceries n' stuff on local...

Kilts make sense. I'd wear a kilt instead of shorts most of the time if I didn't feel self-conscious about being branded a kook.

Blechhh - I see more gristle hunks and fat globules than meat in that pile of sub-par carnage. Das jus nasty!

This video is a turkey (and so is he), but reading the comments on a random selection of his other videos indicates lots of people love the guy and his flying.

The first four albums that come to mind are: - Rush - 2112 - Black Sabbath - Paranoid - Van Halen - Van Halen - Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East Other albums that greatly influenced me a bit later: - Yes - Close to the Edge - Black Flag - Damaged - REM - Murmur - Meat Puppets - Up on the...

My wife wouldn't know how and hasn't been interested in learning. Now that I have a Flight Design CTLS with BRS, she'd be fine. She knows how to hit the LEVEL button on the A/P, reduce power, and pull the BRS handle.

AOPA & EAA member here. Joined as a student pilot.

A GRP for a hermaphroditic baby would be interesting. Might be worth attending.

Well, how embarrassing! I've been calling those things in as "UFOs" for many years when I see one in the sky.

I ALWAYS announce that "I'm entering on the 45" followed with "full stop" and "any traffic please advise" :goofy:
