    EAA life membership value?

    I disagree that Budd is somehow the gate keeper of SA articles. IMO Hal Bryan, as managing editor, has way more to say about the overall content. The fact is EAA has evolved beyond the grassroots organization it started as and simply can't make everyone happy all of the time. There are...

    Airventure Arrival Practice

    Please don't do that unless your plane isn't safely capable of 90 or less. IF the plane is capable but the pilot isn't comfortable maintaining 90KTS and 1800MSL, then don't fly in. It's that simple. The problem with the high approach is that traffic gets merged with the low folks past FISK as...

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    We do the same but on the front end. We like to set up chairs south of 27 near the Green Dot and watch arrivals on the first weekend.

    RV Crash due to belted controls

    My guess is it’s one of the handful of factory built S-SLA RV-12s that are out there.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    The EZ Weather pre-Osh weather briefs are back again this year. I copied this post on the EAA Forums from Dr. Dennstaedt: "Starting on Monday, July 15th, keep an eye out for The Daily EZ Weather Brief, AirVenture edition with live analysis of the weather for anyone planning to fly to the event...

    EAA life membership value?

    Kitplanes does have a buyer guide that has filters you can use to search. Maybe it wasn't there the last time you looked: https://www.kitplanes.com/buyers-guide-search/ As for EAA, yeah all they have is an alphabetical list. IMO where they shine is all of the How to Videos and their library...

    EAA life membership value?

    So I guess that a No vote then, and I'll extrapolate a get off my lawn vote too while I'm at it as a 2-for-1.

    EAA life membership value?

    I'm an EAA lifetime member but past a certain age it probably isn't worth it. The only perk, and it's relatively new, is the Lifetime Membership Oasis at Osh right across from the Brown Arch. You can go in there to cool off, get drinks and snacks for free, and they have their own bathroom...

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    yep it’s the same wristbands for everyone—EAA members are limited as to the number of bands they can buy at the member price. But once purchased they can be used by anyone.

    Operating limitations

    Talk to Vic or Mel Asberry— they will point you in the right direction. They should be with the AWC somewhere on the plane (it literally says that in first paragraph of the E-AB OPLIMs) as they are technically part of the AWC. I keep mine right behind my AWC which are both in a clear plastic...

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Just don't forget to get your eSTMP IFR reservation slot for the IFR arrival NET 72hr prior.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Maybe, especially if you a ways away from a shower house. I’m not real clear on the bicycle rules in GAC so don’t know how much of a blind eye gets turned to bicycle use in the GAC area.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    We bring 2 folding e-bikes and a folding wagon. We camp in Sleepy Hollow (across from SOS Bros) and find them exceedingly useful for getting around outside of the show— definitely beats walking.

    Baron or Duke?

    It’s a joke from years ago that I thought everyone was in on.

    Baron or Duke?

    Also their tails are made out of magnesium and fall off in flight.
