    Best site to buy oil?

    I just bought 2 cases of Philip 66 20w-50 for $130.....I think they forgot to include the sales tax in AR which is damn near 10%. Still a good price I think. I get tired of price shopping to save $3.56.....

    Ah, Electricity

    Reason won't run AC is compressor is on 40 amp circuit at a minimum, 240x40 = 9600.... Add in the air handler and you are way over the limit. That is reason the genset won't run AC.

    Funding Des Moines Airport

    I am thinking the original poster is more concerned with the cost of the new terminal. I find that a lot of these are gold plated taj majals that don't have the proper cost/benefit analysis done. In addition to the purchase price now you have to maintain a $500 million facility. Just because...

    "Area of light to moderate precipitation ahead..."

    I think the controllers are being over cautious on some of their weather reporting, not that anything wrong with that but it is a balance. I was flying as copilot in a Hawker and they called out precip, barely green on the radar and the captain, being the ***** he was, was turning around...

    Climate Change means no more flying for you after 2050

    I read somewhere on the internet, so it must be true, that the manufacturers do have that data, they just charge for it. You know to get those data points they just add a few columns in excel and extrapolate a bit.

    Ignition lead repair

    i was removing my Mags for the 500 service and I accidentally broke off one of the leads inside the mags. Is it possible to just repair one lead? Or are the economics that bad? Engine is IO-550

    [Video] Cessna Crash on HWY 69 near Tyler, TX

    Looks like he was in a right turn and afraid of too steep a turn, therefore added left rudder and cross control stalled it in to the left. POA speculation only.

    Garmin G5 *will* drive other brand A/Ps

    I think the dumbest phrase ever is to believe a 2 page press release on a highly complex piece of avionics.

    Static Sunscreens+Plexiglass

    I have heard that some of the plasticizers in the vinyl ones could be damaging to our plastic windows. No internet proof of that, but I just got done replacing my vacuum hose from standby pump that was generating an oily substance which rumor is the hose breakiing down.
