Spinal canal constriction or 'stenosis' can be caused by a number of abnormalities, some with easier fixes than others...none of which I would characterize as simple. If there is potential instability that would benefit/require fusion or other hardware, expect your recovery to take a little...

I did that to move my annual from September to December. I am looking to buy a different A/C soon and will have an annual done even if the current one has plenty of time left on it; I want the plane to be down during my 'off months'.

And even higher for the Amoco premium 'white gas' that we burned in our race bikes.

Stay away from the oil cans!!!!

Like @Anthem said. Determine the make/model of aircraft you are likely to buy. Find a tail number on Controller/TAP of that M/M and use it, and the value for the insurer to quote. That will only 'lock you in' on that particular plane but will give you an idea. I did the same when considering...

I still recall getting in trouble as a child because of the '0' (operator) on our rotary phone. I had asked my mother if I could do something, I do not recall what. Her response was to ask your father when he got home. I guess I was impatient so I dialed zero for the operator looking to speak...

Voice pagers! Ughhhh. Useful as a defensive weapon considering the weight. In residency, when Charity Hospital invested in alphanumeric pagers, we though we were in high cotton. I also miss untangling the 30' coiled cord of the hall phone; how that cord could get retangled so quickly is one...

At least it wasn't the State University of California, Malibu Adjacent..... GO Cocks!.... Or The Long Island College of Math and Astronomy...... GO Beavers!

Well, Jill certainly may be.......

Certainly, if at all possible, this is the way to go. My mechanic will be available by phone to receive pics and discuss findings. On my first prebuy, Airmart agreed to fly the plane down from Louisville to Louisiana for the prebuy at my broker/mechanic's facility (at my expense, of course)...

The inspection should take a full day on a 210 considering gears inspection/swings. I did a 5,000’ overfly yesterday but will not be there for the full inspection. I pulled cowls, powered up the electrical and checked operability of some items and put my eyes on the usual suspects by opening up...

I’m having Owen Poirier, Barefoot Aviation, perform a prebuy on a 210 on Wednesday. He will come to your aircraft’s location. I will post my experience once he is finished. He is also IA so if the prebuy is good and you proceed with the sale he can finish the annual.

I flew out to Leakey and did a preliminary inspection of the 210. I will definitely continue with the prebuy on this one. Well cared for mechanically and great paint, good interior. The panel is dated but it’s days are numbered if the buy goes through. Owen Poirier, Barefoot Aviation, is flying...

Probably dropped a lot of bread for them groovy threads, man!

As to #2, as mentioned, only get a pre exam consultation. Make it clear with your AME that you DO NOT WANT A MED EXPRESS APPLICATION SUBMITTED. If your future plans don’t involve flying at 18,000’ or above, not flying an aircraft 12,500lbs or greater, and not certified for more than 7 seats, I...

John Efinger recently told me that he isn’t taking any new customers as he is trying to retire and has no one interested in taking over his business. A great loss to the Cessna community.

FAA doesn’t investigate financial crimes. Where is the face palm emoji? Call the state Attorney General’s office. In Louisiana it usually gets someone’s interest at that level.

Contact the District Attorney’s office.

I'm looking at a 210 in Leakey, TX this weekend (contract signed) and need a pilot that would meet the owner's open pilot clause to take it up for a brief flight test prior to the prebuy. The pilot that was planning to do this cannot make it this weekend and the prebuy is scheduled for...
