Is this the one that most of the moving parts are pneumatically controlled? They had one of these at Oshkosh a few years ago and the owner said that tracking down all of the air leaks was REALLY fun. Super interesting airplane. I can't begin to imagine the fuel burn!

I mean, it is the 34th item in the NOTAMs, so not sure how it was missed.

Man. Last time I rented a car this lady was working the desk and wouldn't get off the blasted phone, talking about having to make the crescent rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. I just wanted her to wipe that ****ing dumb-ass smile off her rosy ****ing cheeks and give me a ****ing automobile. A...

IIRC, they laterally and horizontally separate the heavies from the fighter/attack/patrol aircraft at Oshkosh. I distinctly remember especially during the 75th anniversary of Doolittle's Raid at Oshkosh 2017 that they had the B-25s and B-29s in their own racetracks at one elevation, and all the...

Jeebus. That... doesn't look like a lot of fun.

Given the video of this thing plummeting out of the sky essentially straight down, this is the most plausible scenario given what little info we have. Stall into a spin? What are the stall characteristics of something like an E90? I imagine they aren't great.

Neat tip!

We have one of the 1000W Honda inverter generators for the occasional power outage here in St. Louis. It's not a glamorous setup when we lose power, but it works, and as long as the freezer and the fridge don't try to run at the same time, the gennie happily accommodates both, as our Internet...

FWIW, the downwind for the KSTL 30s goes right over my backyard, and we are 5nm off the extended centerline for those runways. 737s over our place allll daaaayyy lonnnng.. (and the occasional Prime 767).

Should POA become an Echo Chamber?

Should POA become an Echo Chamber?

Interesting that they would provide any sort of direct connection between the IFE and anything related to the front office. In my security first mind, it seems like it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a separate GPS receiver for the IFE. They weigh next to nothing and alleviate the need to...

Gotta get rid of the WANTED stars somehow!

Just reporting what we were told by folks that know a lot more about this than most of us commenting.

I went to two forums at Oshkosh specifically dealing with this issue. The first forum was the more impactful one in terms of the FAA form. It was being led by two aviation lawyers... not the FAA, not EAA, not AOPA, but two lawyers who were actually doing their level best to make sure that their...

We've been using Capitol One for online banking for years (and previously ING before CapOne bought it). Mrs. Costello was a bit reticent at first to go online-only, but it's actually worked out quite well. She manages the monies, and has been very effective at using the online experience to...

That poor daughter (really, anyone near this, but especially her). She'll never, ever forget this, and odds are pretty good she saw the whole thing. The pilot was a complete moron for letting that woman exit the airplane (especially since she had to exit toward the prop) with the prop spinning...

While we were watching up in the N40, just south of the Green Dot, the airport completely closed three times, and RWY 27 closed one additional time (for Doc's arrival). They very nearly had to close 27 again when the King Air (a lovely, simply beautiful late 70's KA that looked brand new) taxied...
