Were you flying a 70 year old airplane in ten to twenty degree below zero weather into often times lousy airstrips? probably not. Buffalo joes aircraft have had numerous forced landings and in most cases all have survived, some loaded with drums of fuel. Much more dangerous than landing a 172 on...

Only appropriate IF the 182 has been flown correctly and inspected by reputable mechanics who know this airplane. Many aircraft this old have had ground loops, very hard landings , lousy maintence, on and on, sometimes the damage never logged. The manuf. never dreamed they would still be flown...

I certainly am not. Simply replying to the fellow who said ....."I've never heard of a b 52 coming apart". They most certainly have, not to mention B47s which were relatively new. On two of the old t crafts I bought ,then rebuilt , frayed cables were found, and an old 150 could easily have some.,

Could be an old check hauler with improper maintenance. Or.....maybe he forgot the gear entirely. Does not appear to be the " pride of the fleet".

If your 1940 cub was rebuilt, and it probably was more than once , and if the restorer did it correctly , it could be better than factory new. They are taken down to the frame, checked carefully, wings stripped, spars, checked inspected carefully , on and on. Impossible to say on an old 172...

I sure have heard of B52s coming apart in midair and you can educate yourself simply by googling B52 accident history. I recall one where the whole tail fell off in turbulence. It's important to note that every B52 has been completely gone over several times since inception at the factory...

If navy pilots, flying off carriers have trouble with night flight vertigo causing some to be sent back for further instrument training, then why wouldn't a recent ppl have trouble with much less training and probably instruments that are not as good? I would think an ifr rating would be a good...

Who flew in Barry seals beech 200?

Warren buffet is leaving his children his money invested in index funds. I agree. The average financial planner cannot compete with say vanguard. (I have great faith in this country. I'm staying. )

I read that John travolta Flys his 707 and gulfstream on a private pl. so why would a caravan be a problem.

You would think Wrong ......!there is an agreement that you can. Again......look it up.

How many WW1 & 2 pilots trained in Canada then transferred to the army air Corp when we entered the war.!? There is an agreement between the two country's that makes this possible. Easy to look up.

We lived close to it so we were very very interested in each report and how it came down. It was a very big deal. I remember each and every major news summary. Your blind devotion to the wrong accounts are depressing. You obviously are a Fox News hick. Carter was a buddy of Rickover , knew him...

If you have not read the entire report on the eastern 1011 that went into the swamp trying to land near Miami you should. A truly amazing screw up by high time pros. Tragic!

At three mile island it was the employees themselves that caused the near meltdown. They tried a practice drill that went wrong, turning off the cooling water. President carter called them and told them to turn the god d ...water on NOW!( the press reported the events very carefully). Carter...

Possibly they left out the sound proofing in the luscombe. Under the panel on firewall and around to the doors. Mine, an F model was not so bad. Great airplane. Much more fun than a cub.

B25

They have a great location at Martin state airport in Baltimore, ( among several others) I understand rank is better as a pilot and don't forget thy have fixed wing or two. I'm from Jamestown, and used to keep a small airplane at mayville, on lake chautauqua, very familiar with kinnzu lake and...

Safety last by brian power water. He flew with the RCAF, flew for allegheny airlines and finally retired on the eastern shore of Maryland where he flew his Pitts. A real character. He had a strip at his house where I landed my stearman.

During ww2 large grass plots were mowed with wind sock in middle. ie: stearmans were taught this way often as they love to ground loop in a cross wind!. Saved a lot of repair money's!
