I got my seaplane rating at this place, Alaska Float Ratings (awesome experience, BTW) and flew this plane a few times. Based on the witnesses, my random best guess is a stall/spin into the lake. We typically never flew more than a couple hundred feet over the water/terrain. Not enough room...

I ordered food from a drone delivery service here in Los Angeles in 2020. It was creepy. Plus, my sandwich was damaged after the drone dropped it from 30 feet in the air, LOL. It was a tiny company and the business model seemed unsustainable. Not surprisingly, they are no longer in business.

I filled out the FinCEN info yesterday for my company. Took about 5 minutes. Easy peasy.

The accident was after departure from KHAF.

Now reported as 4 onboard. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/sf-woman-identified-dead-half-moon-bay-plane-crash-18611765.php

For KMMH to town…I’ve researched it several times and this is what I’ve found: No Uber/Lyft. Taxis are stupidly overpriced for the short ride. Car rentals. Some hotels have shuttles but they charge for the service. None of the bus services stop there which is a shame.

KTOA (Torrance) will soon be using Vector for collecting landing fees.

Just do what Trent Palmer did :)

Trying to sue for infringement is a waste of YOUR time and effort. Nothing will happen. It looks like they stole your pic for use as a YouTube thumbnail. If they don't respond directly to your request, I would simply submit a copyright removal request to Youtube. I've had to do this several...

I def think there could be a market for 0 time engines ready to go for people that don't want to wait. Problem is there's such a wide variety PLUS all the xtra options to choose when ordering an engine, that you'd want to have a large inventory. That said...i have no interest to be in that...

I voted route 1 but every situation is different. Keeping or selling? If selling, a large pool of buyers will value route 1, others route 2. Despite your question, to me, lead time certainly plays into it as well. I recently put down a deposit for an overhaul exchange from Lycon. I'd certainly...

My dog HATED the first attempt. She freaked out in the runup. Abort. Second attempt me had her in a crate and it was much easier for everybody.

I was just there in September. Stayed at the fabulous Hotel Monteleone in the FQ. Yes, a few blocks of Bourbon at night are a tourist sh*tshow, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Wondered all thru the quarter day/night and never felt uncomfortable. Love the history, culture and...

Whiteman will be the cheapest option for gas and overnight but not ideal if you need a car rental. (I’m based there). Between VNY and BUR, both have good FBO options and plentiful car rental/Uber availability. Kinda depends where in LA you need to go. All things equal, I would lean towards Burbank.

You are correct. Here's a link to the accident plane. Looks like it had 160 hp and was recently purchased. https://nevilleaviation.com/1966-piper-pa-28-140-spec-1

News reports he crashed after takeoff after stopping at Moab for fuel after a visit to Arizona. ...2 adults, 2 kids, likely bags, full (or at least a lot of) fuel in a 180 HP airplane at a high DA airport at night in a very sparsely populated area. Sigh. I've departed from there in my 180 HP...

Your route thru ELP is great and can be done at 8.5. Another route, a little shorter and more scenic, is westbound at Amarillo thru Albuquerque, Sedona, HEC vor. This can be done at 10.5 If VFR, then just head towards ONT but head westbound just north of it to DARTS then direct SMO. That will...

Looks like he was trying to pull up the gear at the last second.

Must be awfully tempting to stretch the glide when you’re that close to land. They came down pretty hard. Glad to hear they are ok.
