Actually 13 years ago. Ukraine, 2002. 77 killed, 543 injured of which 100 had to be hospitalized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sknyliv_air_show_disaster

Quick as in short field, or quick as in high vertical climb rate? As a rough first approximation, the former can be done by applying more wing area per pound, the latter with more horsepower per pound. Or both. In addition to the RANS models already mentioned could be added the CH-750 or...

320,000,000*.0005 = 150,000. Versus The One. Let them eat cake.

How many times in the past has the security of the U.S. been compromised when a president has been killed in office?

Couldn't find a Black Butte near 88NV - maybe you meant Black Rock (88NV) after all.

It is a private airfield and you need permission to land. There is a bunch of stuff you'll need to do to be allowed to legally land. All the sordid details are here: http://88nv.burningman.com/advisory/ Nevermind. I overlooked that you said you'd be landing in Black Butte.

"Days of the week with the most midair collisions were Saturday (21.8%) and Sunday (22.4%), with 10.9– 13.5% each day Tuesday through Friday, and 5.8% on Monday." From "Midair Collisions: Limitations of the See-and-Avoid Concept in Civil Aviation" by C. Craig Morris. Fly on a Monday -...

That may not be the case. According to Don Houtz at Skyguard TWX, the FAA would allow his portable units to send a SDA and SIL numbers greater than zero if he included a better GPS position source. So the units would then still be usable at least out to 2020. He has a post on this thread in...

I list some references to studies on this subject in this post: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1597661#post1597661

Midair collisions are newsworthy and notable presumably because they are so rare. It has not been excellent visual scanning by pilots that has kept such accidents in the 1 to 2 percent range of types of ways pilots die. I'm having some difficulty understanding why use or even misuse of...

Send a letter to the chief counsel.... :popcorn:

Definitely sounds like a bummer. But you aren't the first to run into medical problems like that. Just keep in mind you still have options.

20/50 even with correction in the right eye? Hmmm. Don't know what to suggest, other than the obvious suggestion to try for sport pilot (I see by earlier posts you bought a Cherokee to motivate you to finish your training.)

(I couldn't find a larger picture.) :D

It is claimed that ~40% of Israel's domestic water comes from desalination plants. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

More water evaporates from reservoirs than is consumed by humans So one could probably get almost twice as much utility out of existing reservoirs if the evaporation from them could be cut. Here is one recent (and tested) proposal to do just that by floating a thin film of an organic oil mix on...

Climate change is not the cause of the California drought; in fact models indicate that they should be getting more rain during the winter. The mountains may get more rain than snow, causing earlier depletion of the snow pack during summer, but that is a again not what has been happening. Here's...

The court cases cited in the document I linked to in post 6 indicate that training lessons for the OP would be tax deductible expenses. That isn't always the case, but should be the case for the OP's scenario. One of the tax court cases was of a photographer who paid for the lessons out of his...
