RE: bonanza handling [cough] Bellanca Viking

Pretty sure Textron is owned by the Chinese

The thing about the 150hp Cardinals is they make a fantastic two seat airplane. And because everyone and their grandmother knows, a 150hp version should be avoided like the plague. So you can buy one for less than a C150.

One of the best headsets ever made. Two decades ago I was a broke a** CFI and needed a good headset. I was envious of the cool kids with their Lightspeed XLs. I went to the Aviator Store at KBFI prepared to drain my resources. The person working that day took the time to let me try on all...

Almost certainly still 180hp. The 180 and 200hp 360 Lycomings a very different engines. I've owned an RG and have hundreds of hours in all versions of the 177. It slips beautifully with no restrictions on flap use. I typically use 20 degrees of flaps and slip as needed. Since you are new to...

Well, in addition to the above post with the CFI's own image and words ("headed are way" - really?) acknowledging the severe weather, there was this quote from the CFI: You've no doubt read about the hazardous attitudes. We're taught to believe that CFIs are unquestionable masters of aviation...

If that set of goals were attainable the plane would be for sale already (MOSAIC or not). You're asking for a 916 powered Cirrus for 1/3 of what a Cirrus sells for.

Bricking my device is what turned me into an Apple hater many years ago. I get that a company doesn't want to support a device after a certain period. Fine, don't offer repairs and don't upgrade the OS. In my case I had an iPhone which worked perfectly and was every bit as functional as the day...

Update. I was post #21 in this thread a while back. I went on to become the assistant chief pilot/instructor/check airman for that company. Loved every minute and I'm still on staff there. I was recently head hunted for a job flying a Pilatus PC-12 air ambulance. Just passed my check ride...

St Mary's is gravel but it's 6k' long. Lynden Hercs and Ravn Dash 8s land there all the time. Now if it's like Tweto's crash where the articles kept saying it was "just after takeoff near Unalakleet" then it could have been 60 miles from St Mary's, and yes, could have been an improvised location.

So, it was a girl?

Oh, snap!

Will he have access to a fire extinguisher while incarcerated?

Just wait until one sits upright and groans

My previous employer moved a body about once/month in a C207. For some of our pilots it was their first revenue flight, since they couldn't fly living passengers yet

80-120 hours/month. Hey, someone has to do it.

Yep. Great stuff. Expensive but the cost is offset by not needing respirator, paint booth, hvlp sprayer, etc. I covered my elevator in my kitchen. Try that with a legacy system.

Yes. Having farted around in a C152 aerobat I can say it will quit as you push through zero G. Positive G restores the noisy thing up front.

^pretty sure you don't ditch a jet that glides like a manhole cover

How far east?
