Lots of good comments here, but one aspect is mostly missing: time. If you crash near your departure airport (near to departure and arrival airports are the most common crash sites), how long will it take before someone realizes you're missing and tries to do something about it? An IFR flight...

What country do you live in?

Aviation Consumer "Used Aircraft Guide" used to be published annually in soft cover. (I think they were published as CDs later.) Detailed articles on all the twists and turns of each airplane, strengths and weaknesses, plus owner PIREPs. I have a couple of editions of these (2 volume set)...

I-bonds are definitely worth a look for people where that kind of numbers work. Our view is that the biggest threat in retirement is inflation and that the last two or three decades are not representative of history, even just looking at the late 70s/ early 80s. Accordingly we took a very...

True enough, but they can only be bought in trivial amounts.

TIPS. No brainer.

Mine signed. He didn't even read the paperwork very carefully. No big deal in his mind.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the First Rule of Landings: "A good landing is one you can walk away from; a great landing is one where you can use the airplane again." So ... good but not great.

Almost never a good idea. Stay with the airplane. I have been through the week-long AF Inland SAR school and the data is clear. The problem is trying to figure out which way the victim might have headed, compounded by the fact that the victim is a tiny thing in a big, big world and very hard...

Yup. Me, too. That's why I posted the question, looking for someone who might actually know.

Yes, thanks to several who mentioned this, but my question is still: Why? TFRs over SAR or crime scenes are not uncommon. But "deadly force" ??!?!!

OP here. I still do not see a clear answer to my question. Re stadium, the press reports said that the restriction was over the bomb area, so not a stadium TFR. I will add a thought here: The blast did serious damage to an AT&T facility, shutting down Nashville BNA tower comms for some...

FDC 0/8709 ZME PART 1 OF 2 TN..AIRSPACE NASHVILLE, TN..TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTION. PURSUANT TO 49 USC 40103(B), THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) CLASSIFIES THE AIRSPACE DEFINED IN THIS NOTAM AS 'NATIONAL DEFENSE AIRSPACE'. PILOTS WHO DO NOT ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES MAY BE...

(I thought I'd find a thread already. Didn't.) What is National Defense Airspace vs a vanilla TFR and why would it be used in the case of this civilian-appearing bombing? I'll admit to looking at pictures vs reading the original text of TFRs, but I don't remember that they include threats of...

The first thing you need to know is the total number of hours flown during the period by rating. Then, maybe, complexity of equipment and missions. Then, at this point, you need a statistically significant number of samples. To calculate percentages to a tenth when working with single- and...

Yes. 2018 tax return, the most recent on guidestar.org shows the cash hoard at $91Million. Baker making $1.4M, Haines $400K. Interestingly, $27M of the hoard is invested in "Central America/Caribbean." I wonder if they have bought themselves an island? "Certain Directors and Officers...

Not being advisable or just not necessarily being effective? IOW are masks actually said to be pernicious? (No, I'm too lazy to read the studies.)
