    KAVX - Catalina Island, twin-engine Beechcraft crash 5 dead

    Private airport, on a leveled mountaintop, following terrain. If you don't accept FAA funding, you can do pretty much do whatever you want to your own airstrip. "Catalina Island was developed as a tourist site beginning in the 1920s by William Wrigley Jr., who owned most of the island under...

    Emergency battery pack for home refrigerator?

    Um, no thank you. A viral startup press release on a common lithium battery chemistry that’s not really “solid state”. That is being amplified on social media. That is selling for twice the price or more of conventional lithium power stations with the same capacity. Which doesn’t...

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    Hmmmm. Not sure that adding frontal crash protection to a plane would be that practical. Perhaps an opportunity here for the new Dan Gryder STC??
