United has been sending me quite a few emails recently. Oddly none of them seem to be about getting me from point A to point B safely and enjoyably.

Looks like there has been enough recent interest to review interested planes. Anything to add/remove from this list: -172 180hp -177FG -182 -SR20 -Tiger

I pre-purchased tickets last year. They never refunded me even after I went through their process. Not ever pre buying tickets for SnF again.

I’ll go with something that does not exist but shouldn’t be a physics stretcher: 177FG with IO-360 or IO-390. Plus some modern aero mods for cowl and pants. And the underlying structural mods needed to have the same useful load as the RG. For an added bonus since we are dreaming, add a Peterson canard

It does

I don't have any info on flying in, but I do have experience with the museum. Its well worth the visit. Go on an open cockpit day if/when they get back to offering those. We went every summer on the way back from the DE beach when we lived in NJ

Would sitting an A36 outside for a year be that bad? It’s not a 35 with mag tail feathers.

I've been looking too. The individual/group looking earlier this year was interested in a 172 and ended up with an Arrow. Neither of which I was interested in the time, but with the current market, I probably should have been less picky. I am on the KHEF hanger wait list too..I actually got to...

And possibly one step worse, Finnair announced plans to sell its business class meals in grocery stores.

Well, no longer Evinrude; that brand was dissolved earlier this year

Schlage claims theirs are ANSI Grade 1

I saw that one too. Plus the crazy 100k+ ones

Sure, listing price is not selling price and this one has not gotten sold in < 1 week like other ones..but still $117k for a Tiger without a modern GPS or autopilot...

Taking Amtrak between Durham and Newark, NJ is high on our "travel mistakes not to be repeated" list. Between NY and DC, train beats car. Between DC and NC, car is significantly faster. Enough to make the whole trip faster by car, and not by a small margin. I recall the train running...

I believe the advice being given by me and others is to start with meds while at the same time starting on diet/lifestyle and work yourself off the meds. That time you are working on lifestyle with no meds is area under the curve you could have eliminated. As meds go, the side effects for most...

Not so much on the Grumman's these days

As an alternate option, if your BP is averaging close to the FAA limit when not at the doctor, strongly consider going back to your regular Doctor to more seriously investigate BP lowering methods including meds. I spent too much time resisting doing so and am very happy now to be on FAA...

Looks like sleepyhead is no more? https://piunikaweb.com/2019/02/21/rise-and-fall-of-sleepyhead-how-community-backed-cpap-hacking-got-jeopardized/

At some point before touchdown you transition to "not wings level" in order to land on the upwind wheel when there is a crosswind, right?

Well sure, but you are still stuck with a crappy KAP-140 in the pre GFC700 G1000 birds and an orphaned G1000; he wasn't asking about the other planes with orphaned G1000s and no autopilot options.;) And other autopilot concern - if you find one of the DA-40s without an autopilot, you better not...
