    SouthWest passenger gets booted from flight for being "too fat"

    "Thyroid problems"--that and "big bones." :crazy: That's always the reason some folks have "weight and balance" issues--never dietary and exercise (or lack thereof). Oh, and also "it's genetic," bad knees, bad back, bad ankles, bad... &c, &c, &c--ad infinitum, ad...

    High EGT and high CHT

    It would be interesting to do the same spectrum analyses with the GAMIjectors in their correct cylinders. Wondering: could the 1/2 subharmonic be due to load placed on the camshaft, causing a slight decelaration/acceleration event? Just pondering...

    Be clear on the radio about what you are doing

    Occasionally I hear a couple of FedEx drivers talking to SGF approach: "Churf, shaof, chuaff, shlupp, shlaoouapp, ch/shlppfttbfft." Seriously, that's what he sounds like! All others I can, with little effort, make out that they are FedEx, WaterSki, American Eagle, &c, and what their...

    Go arounds

    Had a couple this year: First was a go-around at Stockton, MO last Winter. Ground speed "felt" too high, and I started wondering just how much real estate I had already passed up; decided to go back up and look. I had already sold too much. Second was at Bolivar late Spring. Nice and smooth...

    KC-135 Flight tomorrow

    Hey, Rudy: Were you over Southwest Missouri during your flight? We often see B-2s being refueled directly over M17 (Bolivar).

    Pilot dies in flight

    "Shut up, shut up; you are jamming my signal. I am trying to reach Cape Race!" RMS Titanic (which didn't file a flight plan and, what's more, was not being controlled by ATC)

    Missouri needs money and who has it?

    What has gotten us Missouri pilots more than annoyed is the haphazard way we've been threatened. And as the letter from Jonathon Rimington, MPA president notes, many have been misled by the very departmental bureaucrats who now want our money. As one local aviation icon, 95-year old Gene (his...

    Very bad news...

    Do not even begin to second-guess yourself, Lance. As one who I know (from the two times we have met) is passionate about aviation and av. safety, I know you did all you could as a mentor to Steve. My deepest condolences, to both you and your family. Jim

    I Miss My Grapefruit!!

    So, why do the various 'statins ruin my fun with grapefruit? (A rhetorical question, really.) Is there any cholesterol medication that permits consumption of grapefruit? I love the stuff, and wish I could imbibe in it again (no, I don't add sugar :wink2:).
