Didja see in the article where he talks about taking off in 1,500 feet at 90 kts? Incredible to contemplate.

An enjoyable article about the aircraft and the journey to fly it. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/what-it-is-like-to-fly-the-americas-biggest-jet-the-ga-1727650088

I notice there is an error on the site I linked. Brackett airfield identifier is POC not POM. Also, while it may have changed, the display days at FUL and POC are not on the same day. My favorite was L70 Agua Dulce but those days are gone thanks to a small handful of whiney...

The linked web site features a pretty conclusive list of regular events at SoCal airports. While the site is Ercoupe owners group, the events are open to all aircraft. You don't say the age of your Deb but it may qualify for the benefits of antique display...

Did that specific Cessna airframe cause the accident? The way your comment reads it's as if you think flying that particular airframe would be a problem...as opposed to being in the wrong place at the wrong time which in that case it wouldn't matter which aircraft you were in. I've...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: :thumbsup:

7 more states and he completes his map. :idea: By virtue of setting foot in AK he will become expert on ANWR.

Ammo and more. Much, much more. The page is long but is easily viewed. Surely one will find something more worthy than a simple flame thrower. Actually, think of the FT as only a part of a larger personal arsenal. https://www.unammo.com/

You're talking maybe $10 of wood. The labor to shape the wood is a bargain if you find a hobbyist (retired guy with small wood shop, as example). The glass can be gotten at a glass shop cut to size for about $5. A local framer will cost you about $35-50, probably the low end. I make my own...

What is GE?

I guess I too will say my piece on this thread. My reason is that this route of flight is very familiar to me. I am curious why you thought SBA to be the destination. V-27 does make sense in that regard. However, to all points south for a VFR flight, or unless vectored by SB TRACON (while I...

About 10 out while returning from an instrument training flight I heard TWR tell the B-17 to make straight in. Did I hear that right? A B-17? I knew a gathering of B-25s was scheduled for the next couple of days so I thought I heard the transmission incorrectly. Nope, I had heard it correctly...

KHII - 49X is but 4 nm. But if you want to walk be prepared to also swim for the Colorado River is right there. Just to get to the river is across burning sand then through thick bulrushes, then clamber up the other side. Of course, one could walk the entire way but that involves either 45...

Turn in your card. Effective immediately if not sooner. It sure looks like you are advocating for another law. I suppose you would be okay with govt enforcing and administering that law. I'm certain that most every law was considered to be a good idea at the time. Yet even recent history shows...

Ask and you shall receive.

While the sale of my plane was started but not yet finalized, I went camping in AZ. I swung by the Lake Havasu airport to visit a friend who flew in with his MU-2. While I was there, the FBO manager who knew my plane quite well came over to say hi and to ask how come I didn't come see him when I...

In the mid-1970s I watched a CDF B-17 work a small brush fire. Just north of where Hwy 1 intersects I-5 northbound in Dana Point, they put the retardant right between the interstate and a mobile home park. Some of the roofs of the nearest homes had some red dusting but that was about it. The...

I did not ask a question nor was one implied. It was purely 100% casual observation. To wit, 'planespotting', ie, casual observation of aircraft typically from a stationary location. I'll leave it to others to rally 'round the conspiracy talk. However, I am well aware of mil assets in this...

As a late teen ager my lament was employers demanded experience but how was I to get the experience if I was unqualified? It was a Catch-22. My answer was to create a job. I became self-employed. However, about 99% of the workforce either cannot or will not take that leap. It's like a...
