I lived off 51st street by AUS for three years in the late 70's. Southwest flew their 737-200 back then and upon any takeoff and upon any application of rev thrust on any landing, I remember we could'nt hear the TV inside our house for 10 seconds. Waah. Get used to it. We moved there knowing an...

The Lycoming TIO-540-AK1A in my plane has a 2000 hr/12 yr TBO also. I figure the 12 yr criteria is due to things like the alternator belt, which can't be a regular maintenance item because it can only be changed when the prop has been removed.

My new 1975 Pontiac Grand Am 400 4v was a little over $6000. This was a mid size car and in between compact & luxury type cars. I seem to remember a same year new Bo V35 was around $40,000.

RIP to this poor couple. Can't heroin use be noticed on the 1st class exam? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4325796/Pilot-wife-dead-four-children.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/spirit-airlines-pilot-wife-die-suspected-drug-overdose-article-1.3001913

Your far left edge at KSJT has good on-field chinese, etc. Ranger probably can get that or something else nearby. They're good folks. Aircrews are always hauling lots of Chick-fil-A back to Laughlin AFB in Del Rio.

I get a complimentary wash with my annual.

Same for me, sadly

Sadly, yes last summer. Pumped in about 10 oz or so water from the new self serve fuel facility at KODO. My plane with excellent fuel caps was hangared at this dry, high desert airfield. I have a bigger story to tell; I flew three times (1 hr ea time) practicing shortfield landings & pattern...

My 182 has thirteen; five quick drain valves in each wet wing tank, and one each in fuel selector, fuel return line and fuel strainer. One cup of fuel from each drain: http://generalaviationnews.com/2010/08/05/faa-issues-warning-on-water-contamination-and-cessna-fuel-tanks/

My Cessna T182T has four flap settings: UP - 10 deg - 20 deg - 30 deg. For a balked landing, the POH has me to reduce flaps to 20 deg immediately after applying full power and climb at 55 KIAS. After clearing any obstacles, I'm to carefully retract the flaps and allow the plane to accelerate to...

I know it is supposed to cool off a bit by then, but if you're leaving soon after lunch & expect it to be kinda bumpy, you might try something light yet good like the nearby Pei Wei or Paradise Bakery & Cafe just to name a couple.

Identify your iPad from the Model Number on it's back: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201471 Mine is an A1430 from early 2012. It's iOS cannot be updated nor can FF be updated because neither is supported anymore. I'm replacing this iPad this year because it acts clunky and frequently...

Not a balloon pilot; I'm familiar with that area & weather. The mishap pilot launched his large balloon within 30 min drifting distance of very tall elec transmission lines on a hot July morning. Basic balloon piloting skills or drug use the problem here?

Good book on Gen. Olds

The price of crude oil jumped signifigantly at the beginning of the month. The various product prices will go up, too.

I have had all kinds of trouble with iOS 10.0.2 on my iPhone 6s plus. It crashes every day. I'm scared to upgrade my iPad's OS because of this.

Many local aviators love to attend this airshow.

WARNING !! I attempted to update my iPhone 6+ today to iOS 10 and got the dreaded "stuck in recovery mode". My iPhone is locked up. This was an over the air download. I've plenty of memory & I'm attempting to recover the phone using iTunes. Recommend to maybe stay away from this for a while...
