    Aspen just chopped their ADSB 30%

    Avionics buisness is low volume. I'm often surprised at what all we have offered to our small community.

    Quantify - exactly - the solar & sunspot activity, etc and their affect upon earth's climate and we have something to talk about in regard to man made climate change. Yeah, we don't know.

    Learning how to fly in a Piper

    They are different, but it really won't matter. Cross training might add to your flight training experience, anyway.

    Get the colonscopy and my vent.

    Do get the colonscopy, you people over 40. I know we all must die of something, but from what I have seen, you can perhaps pick a better way. Buzzword: "Take care of the equipment"

    Why change oil in airplanes?

    For piston engines: 1) Change the oil according to what the manufacturer says at the very least. To do otherwise is illogical. 2) Piston engines love fresh, clean oil!

    Not really sure what changed for trailers. I know we used to have them inspected only when they were being registered for the first time in this state. No annual inspection sticker required after doing that. But now, inspected annually for a certificate which you will present to obtain the...

    Ripple effect of Texas vehicle registration changes

    The new Texas registration law for trailers, at least, is going to be a problem. I'm sure some pointy headed bureaucrat in Austin figured out that the State of Texas could get $7.50 of new income per trailer registration by requiring a certificate of inspection being obtained before the next...
