Nope, straight tail 172.

Landed on grass for the first time today. Flew up to Red Stewart Field (4OI) to do it. Was sort of anticlimatic, not near as rough as I had expected.

Lots of damage and loss of life in many states overnight due to the storms. Luckily no one was hurt at the airport, just property damage.

This one hits a little too close to home. I knew this guy, not well, but his son and my youngest were friends in school Met him a few times picking up kids or dropping them off. I remember when he started taking pilots lessons about 12 years ago or so. Not going to speculate on what...

The 732nd Cessna 172 to ever come off the assembly line. It's not fast, doesn't have great paint or fancy avionics. But it's roomy, has great visibility, cheap to operate and maintain, and it's mine.

I know that at some airports the waiting lists are just for show. They'd rather the hangar go to someone who is going to be part of the flying community at the airport and not just looking for a place to park an airplane. Get involved at the airport, join the local EAA chapter, show that...

Flying with a KX-170 right now, would like to upgrade to the MX to have a flip flop.

Not sure why you bring your plane to town to take off on the street, towards the intersection with streetlights and signal lights. https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/plane-crash-along-highway-in-winnie/502-826d2150-7b15-4fae-ba78-337a55bee9b3...

I would have been dreading that landing. You just know there were people on the ground waiting on him.

Dont we all?!

Who do I give my money to?

1969?!?!?! I had no idea. https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/last-piston-engine-dogfights-180956250/

So Raptor 1 was a totally new airframe and totally new propulsion system. He didn't learn anything from that, and is going the same route with Raptor 2. He sure enjoys making it hard on himself.

Well that was an interesting rabbit hole, from ipad airspeed to stolen valor and a 2 plane crashes. I appreciate that you tried early on to point out some behaviors to him he needed to change, but I don't think anyone could have prevented that predictable end. As an aside, found his website...

, Had lunch at Fusion today. Not an Asian restaurant, the sign said country and soul food I think. They look to still be finishing up somethings, but it's looking nice inside. They are setting it up to play to the locals, which is smart. They have a live music/DJ space set up, along with...

Just called and they are open now. Going to fly down tomorrow for lunch and check it out, I'll report back.

KPMH, Portsmouth, Ohio has a great on airport diner Skyline Family Restaurant. Airplane parking right in front of the restaurant, food is outstanding.

He seems pretty nonchalant about the whole thing. He's joking about a movie being made him and Tom Hanks should play him?
