    I didn't need that coffee this morning. Now off to YouTube to figure out how to remove coffee from leather seats of an F-150 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LightSpeed Headset service: A-numbah-one!

    Thank God they fired Patrick. You could take the AT out of his name and get his true demeanor. My tango went DOA right before seven days of flying at 3 months old. He quoted me a two-week turnaround and told me I'd have to cover inbound freight. I swore I'd never buy another LS and even...

    N/A Max towing without trailer brakes

    Kind of an (over)loaded question. I'd tow more with my '16 F-150 5.0 than I would if I still had my '99 F-250 with the 5.4. With your tow rig and my experience, I'd say I'd feel comfortable up to 8-10k depending on the type of trailer and load. We have numerous pieces of roadable equipment...

    Thoughts of this archer

    Oh... pretty much evaluate the airplane and the logbooks (if seller is willing to scan them) to identify anomalies, deferred maintenance, and potential red flags, coordinate a prebuy with an impartial third party, counsel you on considerable investments you'll need to make with the airplane...

    Beautiful plane with an overkill dream avionics stack. that being said, I'm a mission driven guy. There are things I can't be certain of from ads, but there are many certainties.... like a 48 year old airplane will be full of squawks. Watch for corrosion and my favorite right main gear attach...

    Well, I still haven't found one with the stealth package from your initial request. That being said, if you're serious.... I know a guy, but it's got Mexican registration Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All things Cirrus

    Good: excellent online instruction videos about preflight and flight ops. Bad: their engines tend to come from together faster than the empennage of a bonanza. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CHECK YOUR FUEL

    I lost a fuel cap once. On my first long XC from 54AZ to Havasu. Was taking a leak after one of my less than stellar landings when the line guy greeted me: is 737JH yours? Yes. You're missing your right fuel cap. #^**% After a brief trip into town in the crew van and scrounging...

    A plane clipped a truck trailer yesterday....

    1O3 is kind of a mindfcuk the first time... by the time you realize you crossed highway 99, you forget about it shortly thereafter while the skydiving caravan takes off on the intersecting runway... then once you recover from that you get to ride the hills to the second taxiway. O20 is a much...

    A plane clipped a truck trailer yesterday....

    I always shoot high there for that same reason. Thankfully with the Maule now, it's not a big issue... but that used to be on my daily commute and I always wondered if my F-250 would get rubber marks on it some day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Your Sexy Plane Doesn't Impress Your Spouse

    My wife picked out both planes. She picked out the Tampico because every Cesspool she sat in made her car sick with the high panel and lack of headroom. She chose the Tampico because the price point was palatable ($38k), it was new enough (1993) and if she hated it she'd let me keep it at that...

    {NA} Question about the backdoor {NA}

    After a brief google search using the terms "backdoor" "hole" and "doggy" I discovered several things... including the fact that SafeSearch should always be turned on. I second the collar-actuated doggy door. We had one that unlocked within proximity to keep the cats in and the dog free to...
