I saw the same Star Fighters at an air show at warner robbins a few years ago. That jet was a lot of fun to watch pierce the atmosphere.:lightning:

PICS!! Are you in the POA member hangar section?

The big fact to look for in this one might be, were there children in the area. It (The wreckage) didnt seem too far from the field. If there were kids then they might have just said screw it and see you on the other side honey not to endanger the younglings. Can you imagine the bad pub GA...

Thanks for an idea of what to expect on my first IFR class in flight. I am working with the KINGS now but have not gotten into the airplane yet, and wont for a while, to do IFR training. Boooo... Theres always that powerball ;)

Nope, and its my home state where I will spend a week starting this upcoming Saturday. Im sure to get grilled on it.

I thought the same thing when I saw 4 people. Unless they were all very skinny. Still, I fly an R model Skyhawk and only feel comfortable with 3 people max (keep it under max weight) and then on top of that I only fill the tanks to the tabs. With the people I usually go with I can keep within CG...

*ONLY* 1900 hours of flight time? ONLY? They make it sound like he was a low time recreational pilot. :dunno:

If it wasnt for bad pub, we would get no pub at all... Phil Boyer is sharpening his sword as we speak.

YES I KNOW. Mark has been BREAKING THEM OFF ON ME for days now trying to get me to break free and attend. :D SOUNDS LIKE A FLOAT LOAD OF FUN!

I think the wheel is a very cool little tool. I used it through most of my training for my PPL until I got flustered during my DIVERSION exercise and opted for the sporty's e6b. It was easier to use and gave me what I needed quicker. ESPECIALLY when working on my XC NAV LOGS. I did my first few...

Well LZU is back open as of this afternoon. The mess was cleaned up too. Talking to some of the folks there about it on my lunch break. Apparently they got their info from someone that was holding short when the Merlin broke out of the clouds. The ceiling was about 500 feet and he reported the...

That seems like a heck of a mess for just collapsing one side of the landing gear, no? But I guess if you hit anything hard enough with fuel on board it will make a mess.

I knew Rob, the home field twin-engine person would have some good input to add on this one. :cheerio: I'll probabaly swing by the field during my lunch run today. See what the locals might have to say from what they saw. You can only make it a learning experience from here.

You can't win if you don't play! But don't hold your breath. ;-)

That runs through my mind too, especially from right before rotation, until I get to cruise altitude. When ever I take long periods of time before I fly I get a mild right leg jitter when I push down that rudder! LOL - As I hold down that right rudder on take off, and climb out, the...

Well this is the first time I have seen my home airport closed down. Closed except for helicopter operations. Last night a Swearingen Merlin II, a twin-engine turboprop, crash landed. Both people onboard got out of the aircraft fine but the aircraft was destroyed. From the pictures I have seen...

Just out of curiosity, I wonder if anyone with a color restriction has ever used this company: http://www.leftseat.com/falant.htm

Well, I sure wanted it to be windy tomorrow (SATURDAY) but if its like it is right now, I think it will be a bit much. :( Local airfields: KLZU 112045Z 31018G35KT 260V320 7SM SCT085 13/M07 A2968 KWDR 112100Z AUTO 30030G40KT 10SM SCT090 14/M04 A2968 RMK AO1 KPDK 112053Z AUTO 30025G33KT 10SM...

Best wishes and many safe flights. I remember my day like it was 10 minutes ago! Safety First!

10 minute flight to the east is KWDR with two runways, I'll get on CTAF and have them clear out I'm coming in. ;)
