    Abort - was lunch at KGMU 7/28.

    So, it's going to be a small party...I guess I'm the only one not going that wants to.

    Crowdstrike

    My pager didn't go off because my pager company had crowdstrike installed and not patched. Just kidding, I haven't been on call for over a decade.

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Coming into the show, take hwy 44 exit toward the city, get in the right lane and turn right on Knapp road. I expect you won't be be able to miss getting in, there will be cones everywhere. Follow their directions to parking, it might help to put a "Prepaid" sign in your windshield in very...

    Abort - was lunch at KGMU 7/28.

    No responses except e-man. Guess nobody wants to fly on a beautiful day. I’m heading to CRE for seafood. ****** We know you're not out of town. Meet at Runway Cafe at 1pm on Sunday to commiserate on not being in Wisconsin. I cannot get there earlier due to airplane availability. If you're...

    Airventure Arrival Practice

    Reminder that an airport with a Right Pattern is so subtly labelled "RP" in the airport information on the chart. If you can't find one near you, call up a class delta and tell them what you want to do.

    Departing VFR after telephoning for an IFR clearance

    Is it possible to obtain a clearance on the ground without having a void by time? Would ATC ever give you a clearance to say "yeah, just take off and we'll figure it out in the air"? If you're flying through crowded airspace, it seems like an opportunity spend an extended time in a hold...

    Out-Swinging Exterior Doors

    If there are stair outside the door, I highly recommend not opening outwards. Whatever safety you gain from easy egress in an emergency will be cancelled by the safety lost in a door opening into stairs. My grandparents had an apartment / house above their bar in NJ, built a long, long time...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    It took the police a while to piece it all together. (Shamelessly stolen from Scott Adams on Twitter)

    EAA life membership value?

    Without bashing, what's the value of an EAA life membership beyond not paying dues for the rest of your life? I ask because they've hit me up again and the price is substantially higher than 30 years worth of dues. Given that 30 years would make me the longest living person in my family ever...

    GPS outage?

    Sounds like you might have run into the GPS test. The military jams it to test military capabilities to operate without it because in the next war, GPS will probably be taken out in less than 10 minutes.

    Who or what flights qualify for FF?

    Not to choose nits, but all flights? Nordo? Ultralight? Drones? Rockets? A transponder is required? At least a radio?

    4th of July near miss

    Near miss means they almost missed, but instead hit dead on? This guy came about as close as you can. My take is they kept trying to stretch the climb, stalled into an accidental split S, and barely pulled out in ground effect.

    [NA] How to create a permanent archive?

    I think "permanent" is a loaded word. Even thinking something like a legacy website that you pay up for 1000 years...won't be there in 1000 years. You could print it out and engrave it on titanium sheets, but even those will eventually disappear. Build a giant pyramid in the desert with a...

    The end of flying as we know it??

    I just found out that I have no sense of time. If you had asked me I would have guessed maybe six months.

    $100 Poutine

    Just to confuse this, the French pronounce the middle one like the first one. Do not argue, they are French. Excuse me, I must go support the strike by the unemployed.

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    That empty pizza box on the floor of my car is not trash. It's an air freshener.

    Ridge Landing Airpark Florida.

    Fixed that for you. There are four seasons in Florida: Starting in October: Hot, Not quite so hot, Hot Again and Stay Inside.
