You parked in front of Gate 12(CLL)? How’d you manage that? The several times I’ve been in I’ve specifically asked to park at the restaurant, but, it’s not allowed; gotta park at north end of FBO ramp and walk in. It’s not a big deal, more of an annoyance, and the restaurant is worth it, a...

All this, exactly. I know that opinions are like a-holes and everybody has one, but, bottom line this was just absolutely stupid behavior on the part of the Yak driver. And how/why did the discussion veer into program letters on experimental exhibition aircraft? What on earth does that have to...

Nope. Maybe in 1985 this panel would have done the job. Today, it ain’t even close. Nope. VOR approaches are becoming very rare, and of the ones remaining, many require a DME. The panel in question has two VORs plus a GS receiver. Oh, and a boat anchor inop LORAN. This would be an absolutely...

There was no flying on Friday as the weather was crap.

Assuming that this is referring to the "elephant", this post above is exactly right. I was also at both the Fri/Sat briefings and flew in the show. All the pilots that flew the show were in the briefing. Also, the video posted above is from the Friday show last year, 2021. Doesn't really apply...

Ooookay. I still don’t see what you’re getting at. Perhaps you could directly state what you think the elephant is?

I’ll bite. What/where is this so called elephant?

Damn, I didn’t realize Ryszard had such a way with words… and everything he said, ditto for me. I had a front row seat to this event; I was flying the Helldiver as the #3 bomber in trail right behind the B-24. I didn’t see the Cobra approach or impact, but out my windshield I saw the B-17...

WTF does this post even mean? What's the point of it??

Yep, I've been running them in my RV-8 for many years. A coupla months ago I bought a 6-pack of Wix 51068 from Rock Auto, $5.65 each and at my door in less than a week. Pretty happy with that!

Ha! Nice.

Holy crap, I love that one! Haven’t heard it in years; I must look it up…

Yes, it was. RGB Rusty answered the original posters question with another question that had absolutely no relevance AT ALL to the original question, yet I’m the douchebag? Again, whatever…

Whatever…. I was just pointing out that your earlier question had absolutely no relevance to the topic being discussed; actually reading and understanding the original question would have helped.

Read the question before you respond; did he say he had a type rating? No. Was he asking about logging SIC time in a Saab? Yes. Your posted response is idiotic.

Since new cylinders are unobtainium, some cylinder overhaul shops are getting overwhelmed and backed up; I dropped off a set of four nickel plated O-360-A1D jugs at a N Texas cylinder shop on 22 January. Just got notified that they’re on a UPS truck headed my way to be delivered tomorrow, 5 May...

Well huh. Reading this thread is yet another reason I'm glad to fly an experimental RV-8. I run automotive oil filters, can get 'em all day long at O'Reilly Auto for 10 bucks. Now, if I could just get my freakin cylinders back from the overhaul shop I'd be happy. Creeping up on 3 months to get...

It’s interesting that the “OSH week” just seems to creep further forward with the big arrival push now being Fri-Sat for the start of the show on Monday; at my usual Monday morning arrival the place is already packed wall to wall with people, planes and campers. I guess over the last few years...

Fabric hangars? Tell us more please! What’s the approximate cost of the ones in the pic?

I gotta wonder; why on earth would anyone give a sh#t about getting their picture taken next to a woman that flies a Baron? Who cares? Maybe it’s just me, but I find most videos of people flying around in 172s, Barons, 310s or TBMs to be utterly boring. Maybe I’ve become the grumpy old dude (at...
