I would suppose it quite easy to remain conscious by holding one's breath for the one minute it takes to descend to thicker air but that hyperventilation due to intense terror would be the culprit. In any case, how merciful to have blacked out. The many forms of hell of war.... In his famous...

I broke the computer. It recorded 12/13 because supposedly I did not answer one of the questions. But I know I did for I am methodical and attentive to detail. And because this was for all the marbles it was that important.

To leave a burning ship, to free fall for 2 minutes from the icy cold without O2, in sheer terror once realizing no chute, to surviving to become POW is amazing story. I wonder if that terror is what rendered him unconscious before impact. The latter part of the article contains an odd...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBQ5MRLQBQ8 Too bad the sound sucks. But very funny. Among other things, I wanna know how they taxied missing the tail.

At least your 1st project could have been a stamp with Barb's name in it or sumpin. But I'm sure you'll christen the shop with blood sweat or tears soon enough. I'm dying to know why you blocked off the front with that retaining wall. Nothing to roll out? Never?

Provide long/lat coordinates for thee Fly-in. :yes:

Is that a welding repair on the frame at the front? 2 out 3 Farmalls, at least the H models needed the frame welded right at that same place. Yeah, you got too much hanging but you knew that. I took the OP as work to be done and wouldn't ya know it's a perfect day for flying.

Let's see what Black's Law Dictionary has to say: Theft n. the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale). In many...

Based on the book by David McCollough. Tom Hanks involved. http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/04/hbo-picks-up-the-wright-brothers-as-next-miniserie.html

They make it up on volume. Nonsense. By pushing in on the Extend-O-Range knob in my Cherokee the refueling arm would extend to take upwards of 56 gallons of the best grade of 100LL. This option was discontinued in 1973 due to OPEC. That's their problem. OTOH, that would explain the huge fuel...

Firstly, there is nothing in perpetuity with the feds. Imagine if you were this close to title of lands to which the feds have claim. Let the auction begin. The reserve is higher than you can imagine. Of course, it would help your cause greatly if you were in the position to, say make it...

It is amazing and funny that dogs always take the left seat. That picture is suitable for framing. Dogs are awesome! I've taxied clear with a main tire blown but I would think differently of rolling on a flat nose. Too much action on the nose. Never know what could happen. But whatever...

Some follow Route 66. I have been wanting to follow the airways. I got hosed. I thought V-12 which starts at GVO, NW of KSBA, (nothing but the sunrise starts in the east, sorry boys it's just the way it is) I thought the airway would at least follow I-40 across this great nation. But no...as far...

See Additional Remarks http://airnav.com/airport/KMUI I know what PPR means. What is PRK? I hazard to guess it is parking. And what is RSTD?

Govt is like a Hoover. Not like Herbert C. or even Edgar J. but the invention held by Boss Hoover. It's low even for the govt to try to get folks to rat out folks. According to them, there never is enough money for this or that.

At Honolulu we watched the brand new 747 roll in to the gate on it's maiden flight. I remarked that it will become obsolete before I get to ride on one. I've ridden on every air frame in airline service since the DC-7 except the A-380. And still not the 747 in any config.

I'm looking at them right now. I bought them in a 3 pak at a USMC Commissary. No markings to ident. They are desert tan. As thick as the thickest hiking socks I've worn on glaciers, etc. Reinforced toe and heel plus arch. Some mix of cotton and synthetic blend. Sorry to not be more helpful. The...

Did I misuse the term 'overflight'? It could be that I was aboard that aircraft which overflew a specific geographical point. Or, it could mean as a ground based observer I witness an aircraft overfly my geographic position. I mean the latter case. EDIT: Oh, now I understand...you thought I...

Wussies.:D I mean, wow! I've worked in 130F but it very low humidity. The temp was verified and I know the humidity was below 12% My IFR checkride was in 34C and 62% humidity if that helps. So I had a great excuse why I was sweating so much.
