DaleB pretty much wrote my response for me.

United Airlines passenger in one from Denver to Reno when I was about 10 yrs. old.

You are right. Excuse the brain burp.

Maybe I'm "edumacated" but I know that because I worked in country for 9 years on the economy (not DOD) secunded to a German company. Actually, I have lived so many places that I don't know how to talk anymore.

I agree except the "u" in "tus"probably sounds more like oo in boot instead of the u in up. Of course, many German speaking companies just give up and accept the Americanization of their brand names. For example, Löwenbrau (Lowenbrow) beer should be pronounced Lurvenbroy.

There have been enlisted pilots in the US military in the past. There is a book on the subject titled "They Also Flew, The Enlisted Pilot Legacy".

Not on a clearance but I have used the KFSM - Fort Smith localizer from there to H35 - Clarksville. It is 47 NM. Worked fine at that range.

I too read an article. I don't remember when ( a long time ago) or where. The bottom line was that single grade remains on the lubricated surfaces longer than multi grade and provides better protection if the engine sits for longer periods..

Just inflation on $2500 from 1970 to 2015 takes it to about $15,000.

I have seen something in the past where the FAA had no problem with city restrictions (landing times that were published in the AFD - or whatever it is called now. Don't land or take off between certain times for noise control). Was up to the city to enforce it.

I like doughnuts. I'll even eat a stale one now and then -but - dang, these will be 5 years old on the 21'st of the month.

Actually, I haven't been away from the POA. I just haven't been flying. I gave up on the DL medical two or three years ago and sold the plane. The present owner (3'rd owner since I had it for over 20 yrs) was prepping for his PPL checkride and I was looking some stuff up to discuss with him...

Thanks for the quick clarification. Seems like a useful feature.

I haven't been flying for several years. Just noticed that the VFR chart accessed through Airnav.com shows a small blue square, similar to the landmark symbol, in the center of nearly every airport symbol. It isn't on any with runway layout depictions that I checked, just the hard surface...

In a bind, dryer hose from Lowe's/Home Depot/etc. to pipe car exhaust into the cowling will provide heat but also expect impressive amounts of condensation.

Airport has a waste oil tank. A recycling outfit comes around periodically and empties it.

:rolleyes: That.

Jerry Jones' GSV is N1DC

We lived in Waldorf. I belonged to a model airplane club that had meetings in Hockenheim so I biked to meetings. I was working on building a nuclear power plant. One of those two year assignments that turned into nine.

Haven't driven it - but I have ridden it on a bicycle. Used to live nearby. Have been higher with both feet on the ground than I ever flew my Cherokee (Mt. Whitney - 14,505') Probably the only person in the world born in a Campfire Girls camp (born at home -parents were resident caretakers).
