    Sonoma Jet or Kaiser Air at KSTS?

    Another one for Sonoma jet. Good restaurant on site now by the way. Museum right there as well if you want to look at some nice warbird bling. If you are lucky you will line up with some of the P51s that fly and live there Patrick

    Suggestions about France/Italy from you worldly travelers?

    Along with the correct plug adapter we have found that the next issue is a lack of plugs in France and Italy. Smaller B&Bs have limited wall plugs. We are going to try this on our next trip.: A little bendable outlet for those Ixxx or camera chargers (android / kindle as well ) :rofl...

    Sequester stupidity closing the KSTS control tower

    I am based at STS and appreciate the tower. It is a training tower and we all get along quite nicely. Warbirds, Robinsons, Horizon, and the Cessna,Piper,RV gang but we are not as busy or congested as Little untowered Petaluma just down the road. Will I miss it, sure, will it be as easy to...

    Uncontrolled fields with airline service?

    KSTS Santa Rosa, Ca. Has flights after tower hours, and the looming sequester will add to the number of flights w/o tower... Suspect there will be others as well.

    Return Of The Corvette Stingray

    Had a new 1968 and now, since new a 1998 C5 -- C7 mechanicals /interior look interesting and in person it may be good looking overall. Need to see it in person.

    Makeshift engine heater?

    Any reason we could not rig an oil heater and cycle it from the quick drain back through the dipstick, like this? Might be a way to remove the vapor/gas and keep the whole block up to temp with an immersion heater set to a low temp. Seems like the whole thing could be rigged with low energy use...
