I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the 4 "M's" yet. For engine shut down - Music = Radios or Avionics Master OFF Mixture = Mixture Idle Cut Off Mags = Switch the Magnetos to OFF Master = Master Switch OFF YMMV

This might be close but no kit as of right now. Prowler Jaguar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prowler_Jaguar

I like to run O&O ShutUp and O&O AppBuster after Windows 10 updates to see what new wonderful things they have given us. With ShutUp you can disable Win 10 from sending telemetry back to Microsoft and many other things. AppBuster can remove unwanted apps in Win 10. You have to be careful though...

Ha ha! Take it as you will! I was wondering more about how smart it is to fly or hover over angry people who are within rock throwing distance!

Apparently this angered the protesters. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40969/watch-border-patrol-helicopters-apparent-attempt-to-disperse-protesters-with-its-downwash

Wait, are you saying that in a car, while maintaining the same speed, that your RPM's will change when going from calm conditions to a headwind? Your RPM's go up when driving into a headwind?

"5yr old daughter for scale on the F-111. Hard to think that thing ever took off a carrier." Is that an F-111B? Was there a secret program where the Air Force was launching F-111's off of carriers?

Cirrus SF50 has a chute and can land on grass strips.

This is a great podcast on the F-35 if anyone is interested. https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/episodes/078-f-35-lightning-ii/ It features U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton who was a former F-35 test pilot.

I know of at least one that has on an HH-43 used in a logging operation. The gear that connects the two rotor systems and times the blades failed.

The K-MAX and older HH-43's are very quiet compared to other helicopters in it's class. The rotor's tip speed is significantly slower than say a UH-1 so you can often hear the engine before the rotor system.

Back in 91 or 92 when I took mine the examiner had me do a stall under the hood. My CFI was surprised when I got back and told him. I guess that wasn't common? Do they not have you perform any stalls at all now?

Van's A models like you said. There are several on Barnstormers right now that are in the your price range.

And then there is the one that the wings came off during an airshow routine.

Wasn't there a Helio with the IO-720?

I always thought that what the producers of Flight were trying to tell us is that the only reason Denzel's character was able to pull off that maneuver and save most of the people on that flight was because Denzel was drinking and using drugs. A sober pilot would have killed them all.

No Bigfoot or UFO stories? You guys are holding out on us.

Which one do you use and why? Lately I have been gravitating toward ADS-B Exchange as I find it interesting watching some of the military traffic. ADS-B Exchange also shows rich/fancy peoples planes and military traffic. FlightAware Flightradar24 ADS-B Exchange

Where can I get an "advanced pilot’s license" like he says he did? Is that beyond ATP? Very impressive!

So YOU'RE the one!
