    Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024

    They have tie-down spots for only four aircraft. They do plan to place a portapotty out there. I was the 58th pilot to contact them. It's first-come first-serve.

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    Does the law for this venue allow for calculating percentage of responsibility? I've seen lawsuits where the jury calculates damages and assigns part of the fault to the plaintiff which still allows the plaintiff to collect the rest of the judgment from the defendant(s).

    If you put a solar glasses lens over a smartphone camera lens you can join other amateur photographers.

    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    Speaking of assessing costs to the losing party, I observed a civil trial in an Arizona court a few years ago. Plaintiff fell and alleged injuries in defendants' home. Insurance offered to settle but was rejected by plaintiff. Jury found for defendants. Costs incurred by the defense prior to...

    Buckeye Arizona Air Fair and AOPA Fly-in Feb 16-18 2024

    I think if you're parked on dirt you should pull the plane out of its spot and turn it so you don't blast everyone behind you.

    Buckeye Arizona Air Fair and AOPA Fly-in Feb 16-18 2024

    I think I might've been the next-to-last to arrive today before the airspace closed for the night.

    pilot airline jobs are we at the peak

    I can take early retirement from my current job in 17 months. Already meet the usual airline hiring minimums (1500+, comm multi, etc.). Just hoping I won't have missed the window. Would be nice to first have a small pension locked-in in case of furloughs.
