Positively!

Kewl. I was gonna jump in, but I couldn't find any good pics of the club seating.

Thank heavens you didn't write "nucular." Bless your heart.

Try "pair of pants." And people wonder why I wear loincloths. Sheesh

Wonder if he ever quacks-up?

Online unit converters will give you kW from hp. Hp divided by rpm, multiplied by a constant (again, online) will give you the torque. When you choose torque, this calculator will measure the approximate torque of an engine based on the horsepower, multiplied by 5,252 (conversion between...

Make sure you don't eat the fish.

JEB: Fabulous work on those specs! Thanks, you drove the point home, and, as you noted, this analysis doesn't allow for qualitative differences (fit and finish, handling, engine accessibility, etc.). A Cessna is a Cessna, and a Beechcraft is, well, a Beechcraft. It's hard not to get into a...

JEB: Thanks for your rigorous comparison of the A36 to the DA-50 (vide supra). As much as I admire the Bonanza, I think we should also be including the Cessna 210 to illustrate the mediocre specifications of the DA50; the 210 does some things better than the competition, and some things not so...

Will they make helmets that will fit over a turban?

Mom?

I can imagine the headlines: Small plane crashes: pilot files flightplan, doesn't activate.

"Cleared to land" means you own the runway (absent an instruction such as "land an hold short"). You courteously advised of your intentions, and the controller acknowledged your advisory (request, if you insist). What's important is that you were communicating in order to keep the system...

I love the breed; my English is 12 today (a fancy, registered boy...registered, etc.), and my ***** is 9 tomorrow (a very athletic American Lab, rescued many years ago). You are lucky to have such a marvelous puppy; he'll take good care of you, so return the favor. Blessings.
