    Renter's Insurance / Insight / Opinion / Rants / Recomendations?

    I have had AOPA Renters' insurance for the last several years (renting LSA for the moment..), and wondering before I re-up, what other source should I consider? I started to do some searching the other day, but had to use the conveyor belt to take off on my 1500nm Cross-country before I could...

    Time to name drop

    I met Cole Palen when I was ca. 10 or so - recall asking him if he planned to be doing the same thing when I growed up! Still planning to run away to wrench on ORA's collection someday soon.....mmmmmmm Castor Oil! Supplier of mine owned a SPAD and flew with Eddie Rickenbaker (in another...

    Audiophiles . . .

    Loves me some Old Tube gear. I like the sound and (mostly) enjoy repairing & tinkering. Its my more reasonable version of having a British Hobby car. As for the sound, I understand that Hollow-state (Tube) amps have 2nd-order (even) harmonics which are less harsh than odd-order harmonics that...

    New permanent NYC "T"FR

    Just got that notice too. Looks to be pretty much back the way it was except now Northbound you will be verrrrryyyyy close to a VIP TFR. Much safer and workable for all parties than the previous iterations. Security, little if no increased workload for NY area ATC, little or no impediment to...

    I had a pretty cool tiedown neighbor today

    Was that one flying under SP? Is that why he was alone on the GA ramp with no lights? and how does he turn to do HIS run-up?

    New permanent NYC "T"FR

    That space is too narrow for real-world safe North / south traffic, IMHO. Too easy to technically bust. What practical means are there to navigate west of "of a line from 404750N/0735920W to 404524N/0740101W." Sure, it will be on FF or Skyvector, and I bet some ace GPS-knob spinners will be...

    Ok - why is this important on a sectional?

    I think the bridgelike thing is also called a viaduct. But aqueducts (conveying water,) can be both above and below ground, open or covered.

    Sorta Aviation: The evils of Google Maps /earth.....

    I am thinking that some of those might be radar test stands (?) based on some books I have read on formerly classified stealth planes etc. Found this interesting looking plane at Van Nuys APT - NW corner. Homebuilt ER-2/ U2? Badass motor-glider?

    Sorta Aviation: The evils of Google Maps /earth.....

    corrected 1st pix. 2nd site - never seen radar / radio / microwave stations that needed an acre or three of concrete in front of them, but what do I know..
