    PSA for anyone who visits Branson

    Been to Branson a few times and it’s meh. Not my idea of a good time. But for the wife and kids... well they get a vote too. Now just down the road a few miles you’ll find Big Cedar lodge. Now that right there is a nice place!!! Much more my speed.

    LED Landing Light Replacement

    Regardless of which (Aviation) forum I always find it fascinating that there can be so much discussion and debate on how to change a light bulb.

    Build or purchase something with 2200 nm range

    So this really is a serious desire. Yeah I’m sorry but it’s a pipe dream and I really don’t mean to sound harsh. In a piston single this is a mission that fits into two criteria: 1- ferry plane to new owner 2- around the world trip (one time event and likely one of the most challenging legs of...

    Build or purchase something with 2200 nm range

    Awesome that you post this! I was actually on Memphis Center a few months back and the controller started asking another plane some questions about their trip. He had somehow figured out this was an around the world trip (leg). When I got home I did a little research (actually posted about it...

    Build or purchase something with 2200 nm range

    Geesh. I’m sorry but that mission request is ridiculous. “4 seater-ish with a bit of luggage to go from mainland USA to Hawaii” lol Is this serious!? I know a guy in my hometown that had a big nice Citation that couldn’t make the Hawaii leg. He had business there and wanted to be able to go...

    Aviation headset

    I had the H10-13.4. Idk how they would compare to the ones you mentioned. To be honest I could still wear them. I’m hard headed and not too sensitive to the clamp. My family members, though, couldn’t tolerate them at all. I think the ANR aspect is as important as the increased comfort. The...

    Aviation headset

    You know what they say about opinions... I bought a David Clamp set in training. Thought it was great. After a while I’d had the opportunity to try out some friends nicer ANR sets and they were all so much nicer. The lighter weight and less clamp were great. The ANR made a huge difference in...

    Buying A Piper Seneca II

    Not knocking the Seneca or this particular plane... (heck I own a single engine Seneca), but be careful about the above factors. I think the entire light twin market is really really down and has been for a while. Acquisition costs are rock bottom for a lot of them. The reason is the cost to...

    Want to see your face on a plane?

    We’ll need a selfie for verification.

    What are the regulations regarding off airport landings in a non-emergency?

    I’ll take a stab. Private ground without any (practical) violations of separation on approach landing out can do whatever you want. Public roads and such even in desolate areas I’d say technically it’s a no... but it’s probabky kind of like the old swing regarding a tree falling when no one...

    How do you like your eggs?

    I like mine sunny side up. But I confess I’m picky. We have about 18 laying hens. My eggs are fresh from the farm every day. If the only eggs you’ve ever had were commercially produced you’ve never had good eggs. Sorry but can’t do Waffle House.

    Perfect. Thank you!

    Foreflight w&b setup

    I doubt this discrepancy will have much impact on my calculations as I’m pretty sure I’d have to put concrete blocks in my nose baggage compartment to ever get close to this area. I just want to be sure I’m doing this correctly

    Foreflight w&b setup

    I'm sure questions of this nature have been asked before but I just want make sure I’m doing this correctly. I’ve set up my PA32 Saratoga in Foreflight for W&B but my graph looks different than the one in the POH. I don’t understand what causes “bulge” in the gross weight allowance in the POH...

    G5 failure anyone? I just did

    Although the occasional news of G5 problems is disheartening I think it's fair to consider the number of these being installed. They have been a hit since they hit the market. My (relatively slow) shop is installing them nearly every day. With numbers like that for a relatively new device it...

    Southwest oopsie - ‘woman partially sucked out of window’

    Oh I'm not arguing that point at all... simply thinking there may have been a very ironic discussion previously, considering the profession of the person that died.

    Southwest oopsie - ‘woman partially sucked out of window’

    I may be dreaming here but wasn't there a thread on here (or maybe BT) a year or two ago that was discussing liability reasons for people to fly commercial vs private (jet, turbo prop, GA). The reason I thought of this was that I thought I remembered someone talking about business execs (maybe...

    Clear Prop! - Anyone ever have a response?

    Typically yell "clear" but often don't at my sleepy home drone when I'm the only one around and just pulled the plane from the hangar. FORE while playing golf has always seemed so stupid. You take people in the line of fire that have a decent shot at looking the other way and cause them to...

    Lightning and more to be added to ADS-B feed

    If this is true then AOPA will need to update the recently released YouTube infomercial touting Sirius Xm as wonderful compared to the much inferior ADS-b. It was one of their air safety institute videos. I gave it a thumbs down and commented. There was no hiding it was heavily biased. Pure...

    Plane Crash - Crozet (Charlottesville), VA

    I was going to guess that this was an episode of Airplane repo gone bad, but they always have a cameraman on board.
