    Stolen King Air still flying as of 8:38am on Sat (9-3-22)

    Either he's been talked into staying in rural areas, knows someone who lives out there, or ANG is keeping him boxed out. My Flightradar session timed out.

    Stolen King Air still flying as of 8:38am on Sat (9-3-22)

    SWA flight just flew overhead of his current area - 38k feet of separation... seemed odd, but zero chance he could interfere. He is definitely keep to the rural area northwest of Ripley for the last little bit.

    Air Travel in Ten Years

    Maybe not for your company, but many companies will think like this - until a competing company gets on a plane, goes and has drinks with the buyer/rep, and closes the deal. That will happen over all industries that are experiencing efficient sales-modes at present. It will popcorn, but will...

    Tailwheel options Tennessee?

    He's saying that we're a big city... with lots of folks freshly moved in from other big cities that aren't in TN.... He's kind-of not wrong. :D I don't know of anyone at John Tune that instructs tail-wheel. I thought one of the CFI operators at BNA used to have a Decathlon or Super...

    fair - there are a ton of Richard Riders on two wheels. but.... even though in most states, cyclist must ride as close as is practicable and safe to the right side of the roadway, they do have the lane, and riding on the line or the shoulder is neither safe nor practicable. Cyclists should...

    Pedestrians - RANT

    yes - we were always told that 25 years ago, and for our distance runners in college it was "a thing". If a person is covering 70 miles a week with questionable footwear, it might come into play for injuries (that will happen anyway if you are covering 70 miles a week consistently), but...

    Avweb: How A Split Second Wrong Decision Caused the Kobe Bryant Fatal Crash

    In the limited representation given by the avweb video, it felt like the chairman was trying to drive the data a bit- wanting to classify the operator as unsafe- when the inspector- working within the parameters of the NTSB that Chairman Sumwalt leads, could not “objectively” come to the same...

    This virus is terrible!

    I very much want to see total death data year over year. I am open to this virus being more lethal than I would like. I am, admittedly skeptical. With that said, for this entertainment news article, look closely at the Methodology noted below the article. It's not exactly a scientific...

    John C. Tune - Tornado

    I hope this finds everyone ok. JWN reportedly got hit by a tornado. I do not know the extent of the damage, but I do know that this is as quiet an airspace as we've had since I lived here. We are on approach/departure from the south. Everyone ok?

    Who here plays a musical instrument?

    I earn a living playing music, but I don’t I play guitar or keys or bass much at all anymore. I play computers now, but it involves every instrument in the show. On a plane to Portland at the moment to do the thing.
