So... after the severe storms/twisters in NW AR and SW MO Sunday night, everyone around here awoke to automobiles and everything else covered in mud. After the tornadic activity, another line of heavy rain (satellite was blocked) passed through--enough to have surely washed everything off. I...

$50.00 plus a boat?! That's grand theft airplane!! :D

Me too!!:hairraise::fcross:

Indeed it is, Mari! 404CP. Wowzers. Who would have thunk it, that I have a sharp enough brain to catch the link? :idea:

Y'know, I'm not certain, but I think that's the belly landing incident that occurred just recently at SGF. I'm not for certain certain (certainly speaking, of course), but it sure looks familiar, and some of the events correspond to the video on TV--such as the appearance of the yellow fire...

The powers-that-be here at M17 are pondering charging anyone who trailers in a plane a fee. Suffice it to say that, though there isn't anyone here with a foldable/trailerable plane yet, we are nonetheless ... concerned... about this among other items...:incazzato:

And all that dust. With no protection. If the gammas didn't get you, or the neutrons, the alphas would, once inside your body... Sigh

I do, just about all the time. Indeed, as a "non-traditional student" at the local denominational university, chapel is mandatory for at least seven semesters. Ofttimes a loud "Christian rock" band will be the featured noise source. If I haven't packed a set of E.A.R. brand ear plugs, I...

Plenty of gas in the propane tank, and plenty of sandwich meat in the fridge. Ice cream may be problematic: Maybe we'll have to just eat it all!! :eek: Stay warm, Tom and Diana, and Tim and all the rest of youse guys!! :thumbsup:

"Yet, you'll note that there is still debate over what causes flight to be possible....is it Bernoulli's Principle? Newton's Third Law? Combination of Both? Or maybe something else...." And, "No. The only debate is among those that don't understand the math. (And those who believe bogus...

That's precisely what is in the process of happening here, Lance. Insurance, environmental plan, proof of proper tools (verified by the Airport Manager/City Administrator), and so forth. We are permitted to do the FAA-legal owner stuff, but I notice that sometimes hangar doors don't open for...

This little issue is about to become a tempest in a teapot here at M17. The city council is pondering adopting a set of "Rules and Regulations" that prohibits, except under certain conditions, "experimental flights," as well as trailering in of aircraft. Problem is, most homebuilts are built...

"Messiah" featuring conductor John Elliot Gardiner, English Baroque Soloists (period instruments) and Monteverdi Choir. I personally like all the Beethoven symphonies, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic with Herbert von Karajan--the old set, which has been released by Deutsche Grammaphon...

Agreed, Dean. The whole KOLR news report was confusing. I suspect he had refueled at Cuba, and was still heading west. Dunno. I do know that the wx was incredibly clear (and it was last night too, from M17 to GLY and back). Could see the city of SGF right after getting in the air. Could...

Followup news report just now at 10:00pm: Pilot had, at 6:30pm, phoned home to VA to report he had refueled; plane went down ~7:00pm. Don't know *where* he refueled--not reported in the news. Purportedly en route from VA to Cuba, MO; however, Southwest MO is somewhat out of the way (96 nm)...

Apparently this evening a 172H, 1614F, from out of town (update: Virginia) went down north of SGF. I've gleaned a little from an inside source: Pilot only, not in contact with ATC. Witnesses: "Loud, revving like a motorcycle;" "High-pitched whine like an engine winding up." News reports...

Dear Dan, You suck. I hate you. Love, Jim BTW, great write-up! I was in that plane with you. Didn't make it out this wknd. Maybe next.

Best one ever for me was our 85 Bonneville with Chevy 305. Heater core was designed by someone who had suffered heater core PTSD. It was a breeze to remove! Open hood, loosen/remove about a dozen bolts on top of the HVAC module, lift module, remove hoses, lift core out; lather, rinse, repeat...

LOL!!! "There you go again," as one wag once said, wanting facts. Funny, none were forthcoming as we were discussing this. Thus my appeal to the Blue Board folks. This town is trying to convert what once was a thriving GA airport into a JFK-esque major drome, complete with rules on whether...

Knowing that many airports are creating documents to control activities therein, a question has arisen at our local 'drome, to wit: Assume a person builds/purchases a new, state-of-the-art LSA, which has folding wings (I noticed the new Icon is one of them, and there is a folding wing option...
