    Pilot watches

    My favorite FLYING watch: Timex Expedition! LARGE NUMBERS Bright blue-green backlight (Indiglo) at the push of a button on the front Dual time zones (Local and GMT) at the push of a button Stopwatch Alarm Seems pretty accurate. I seldom have to reset it. About $28 a few years ago on...

    Oshkosh - A Cautionary Tale

    I'm not a doctor, but I've read a rather convincing book about poison oak/ivy. this is what I remember of the gist of it. The plants contain an oil which, when it gets on the skin, causes a histamine reaction by the body, basically an alergic reaction. It is not the oil that caused the...

    Kitten Cannon

    862' at about 11°. Best range when the red bar is maximum, but you have to be quick. Added later: I'm humbled. In the 15 minutes or so I was playing, the max score here went from 700+ to over 1400. How come we're not out flying?

    Northwest Aviation Conference and Trade Show

    Louise and I were at Puyallup Saturday. It was too foggy to fly in the morning, even IFR, as there is only one (GPS) approach into Thun. We fought low ceilings and fog the whole way up from Corvallis, about a 4-1/2 hour drive. :( We were hoping to meet some of the folks from the forum...
