Yea, well my kids laughed at me when I told them I had to rent a printing 10-key adding machine to do my accounting classes at university. After that, I was working for one of the big accounting firms that used to be famous for the Oscars but is now just infamous for the Oscars, and I was doing...

Thanks for the pictures and info. I'd love to know where the Palmer Lake airport was. Maybe we can get it reauthorized and publicly funded. That would be a hoot. Of course there is a book that should be read: Alexander Eaglerock by Col. John A. deVries and it includes interesting insight to Al...

Lockheed Jetstar had 4 engines mounted on the fuselage.

Anyone interested in buying a 1946 Champ? There are two wires to control the two magnetos and each magneto has four wires for spark plugs. Do we have to count the cables connecting the heel brake pedals to the brake actuators as wires? I'm going with no on that one. No backup though, you just...

I'll bring my Weber if I can get to it (yes that is today):

Answer: IO550. It's the only option that costs enough to be effective and it eliminates the belt driven alternator.

Years ago I had a special book about the Battle of Britain but I lent it out without keeping track of to whom I lent it. Now I would like to replace my copy but I don't remember the basic title and author so it is hard, isn't it, to find the replacement. A couple interesting distinguishing...

Obviously it's the very top of a zoom climb then push over to level. The rate of climb indicator on these shoes is not an instant read instrument.

If I recall correctly the issue with the FlyBaby arises from substituting solid, usually streamlined, flying wires as used on most homebuilt biplanes for the stranded wire cable called out on the plans. As Dana noted, aircraft can be designed with struts, solid flying wires or cable bracing, but...

So how was the food and service at Scottsbluff? The airport restaurant seems to go through operators frequently. It's a nice facility but traffic might be too low to support it.

This is hardly unexpected news, but damn! That is a great accomplishment and one that will provide a lifetime of challenges. Well done, well done. Scott

I just tap on the display when it flickers or acts like it's dark out. :D

Oh for heaven's sake. If we had something important to do we wouldn't be here, now would we? Why does a poster need to be qualified to ask a question? Why can't we accept the question for just a question ("sometimes a cigar is just a cigar") and, if we know the answer, just post the answer...

587?

Another vote for the Luscombe, but then I've been having an affair with one for more than 44 years. The cabin does seem to shrink a bit more every year, mostly for getting into and out of it. I think the Luscombe has a great balance of performance and handling that is well suited to both fun...

No one has mentioned what happens in the case of a false positive. Where will a fellow go to get his reputation back after the local chapter has been advised, in error, that old Bob can't be around the kids anymore? Any process involving screening so many people as this is likely to have some...

Interesting but suspect. Every county I check had exactly twice as many inbound migrants as outbound. I could find none that the outbound was greater than one half the inbound.

Just whistling past the grave yard . . .

Think of it as a 2 to 2.5 hour cross country. Then you land, lunch, update your plan and make another 2.5 hour cross country. Go to motel. Plan next day. Second day, you make another 2.5 hour cross country. Then you land and, well I think you see the pattern here. Some would suggest three such...
