Uhh, wut? Your first line makes no sense, plus, it's not true. Have you ever flown cross country in a RV? I have, coast to coast in my RV-8 over the last 13 years and 1600 hours. It's a great cross country ship for 1-2 people as long as the spousal unit doesn't pack a 100 lb bag. Vibration is no...

Grumman F4F Wildcat. Hand crank with sprockets and chains. Woof.

I’m trying to figure out if this scenario is posed as a joke or not... because duh, it’s legal. So why even ask as a hypothetical question?

Holy crap... that dude is just mind numbingly painful to watch. Such a huge ego with no skills to back it up, and he just Never. Stops. Talking. No way I could fly with that moron... unless he were handcuffed and had a gimp ball gag in his mouth. Just STFU and don't touch anything.

Beautiful! Love those 310Rs... in my previous life I was a C-310 check hauling freight dog, 2400 hours in 'em. Great airplanes. Belly looks pretty clean to me!

Convair 440, N24DR, freighter based in Laredo, TX.

Uhh, whut? WTF is flaming tomatoes and grabbing cards?

Either that, or, his target market segment is stupid rich people with wads of cash to burn unnecessarily. $40k for his CFI labor to get a freakin Private license is breathtakingly overpriced, even for the NYC area.

But, but, it ain’t that bad! Cruising at 11.5k and 200 KTAS, the fuel burn is only 43-ish per hour. That’s cheap! Riiiight. But monkeying around down low doing pattern work, it’s pretty thirsty. It’s certainly not a daily flyer considering the fuel/oil burn and just the work involved to go fly...

If it’s a T-28 you’re thinking about, most T-28s are Experimental Exhibition, and I’d say that chances changing it to Standard Category are slim to none. Most of the operators out there selling warbird rides are doing it in Standard AT-6s or Limited category bomber/fighter types, as in P-51s or...

Probably gonna miss a few, but... BE 18, 33, 35, 36, 55, 58, 76, 95, 1900 C-140, 150, 152, 170, 172, 172RG, 175, 177, 177RG, 182, 182RG, 206, 210, 310, 401/402, 404 PA-22, 23, 24-180/250, 28-140/160/180/235, 30, 31, 32, 38, Arrow, Aerostar, J3 Bellanca Viking, Citabria Grumman AA-5A/B Mooney...

Beech 18 photo ship?

Yep! RV-4 or an RV-8, you just can’t go wrong, great flying airplanes. But, I’m biased; I built an -8 and have close to 1600 hours on it. It’s a keeper. Judging from the OPs comment of wanting a real airplane engine, these might not be a good choice as they’re too warbirdy and finicky. The RV...

Late to the thread here, but here's another thumbs up for the friendly peeps in West Texas; two months ago we were flying a T-28 from San Diego to Houston and stopped for the night in Ozona, TX. It's a typical small town FBO there, pretty much a one man show, but he was as friendly and helpful...

Yeah, sure, but... this has nothing to do with what happened in Compton. Plus, how many students and CFIs in a 152 are going to be wearing a helmet, Nomex flight suit and gloves? I’m gonna say none, because 98% of the time isn’t needed. Then there’s the fact that a helmet most likely won’t even...

Speaking of idiots... perfect example right here.

Who sells the tickets? Who sets the prices? Who sets the schedule? Who does the advertising? That's right, Momma Mainline. Dude, calm down and quit being so damn defensive. Regional airlines today are not true airlines, they are contract lift providers. Fact.

Dang, it’s a wonder I’m still alive, or at least haven’t ground looped yet! My tailwheel checkout was 1 hour of dual in a Champ, summer 1987, as a new CFI. After that, I was off and running flying taildraggers every chance I got; luckily, this was prior to needing the endorsement which came...

Nope, not my experience. My wife and I aren't religious; we're atheist or whatever the label is for people who actively dislike religion... and we laughed our asses off at this show. I'd see it again...

"We want a window." Great scene! Love that movie...
