    Inop fuel gauge - what would you do?

    I'll occasionaly get a big red X on a fuel gauge upon initial boot up of the g1000. Usually always fixed by turning avionics switch on/off and letting it boot again. Those calibrated dip tubes for physically measuring fuel supply at preflight are so cheap to obtain. Anyone using either glass or...

    Registration numbers

    I'm in the process of changing my N number back to the original from the current vanity number of the previous owner. The original N number placard is still on the panel. I anticipated the change to be cheap & easy. Not so due to a comedy of errors of my doing. I started this last December and...

    F-4 Phantom II

    I remember the RF-4C while living around Bergstrom AFB in the 70's. That runway is now KAUS. In south Austin, the night climbs in full burner while the Phantom was arcing to the south to avoid Robert Mueller airport in the center of the city were spectactular.

    Can't dispute his sporting success & entertainment value. He always seemed to have rather noisy disrespect for many of the values I hold dear. He partially redeemed himself with me when he offered himself as a fellow Muslim hostage trade for those 52 people trapped in the American Embassy...

    And here come the kneejerk reactions

    NA Tx Drought

    What Are YOUR Favorite Lyrics From a Song? (Title & Artist)
