Yeah, it would be a long drive from Vancouver BC. My plan would be fly in, rent an RV with AC... would be nice to have a cool place to retreat to. Did I mention I hate the heat!

I totally hear you. I am very comfortable on my bikes as well. I do ride oldies though... I am hoping their Japanese motors stay strong!

Yep, I feel that. And lots of riders going down around me too!

Yeah, I have never been to OSH... and I would like to... but I hate the heat... and I would not want to fly in. Every video I watch (and really enjoy!) of the arrival just makes me stressed out. I live and fly in one of, if not the most congested airspace in Canada... and that is enough for me.

No Doubt. If you were in a turn and it let go, or any other place other than straight level cruise, it may definitely throw you off. I do think it is something that's good to practice before it happens.

My instructor used to make me simulate a control failure. Power, and trim, maybe the rudder still worked sometimes.We would take over control just prior to touchdown. It was tricky, but survivable. This was in training aircraft, inherently stable. Try it sometime next time you are out.

It is an incredible video. And I think she did a great job. I ride motorcycles, have felt the wind of 70MPH on my face, can't imagine that.

Yeah, you should read the story. I wonder how long that motor really would have kept on going with no oil. Interesting. He did a good job for a low time PPL.

Always great to see survivors.

I was always impressed by the pilot and his SO in this one. Well done.

I would highly recommend you do not pull the power in the airplane as a joke. General Aviation is a serious endeavor, and messing around is a ridiculous idea. Maturity and and a sober mind is needed to be safe and successful in Aviation. If you want to have fun, do something on the ground post...

I do not have turbo experience... makes sense though that it would be tough to kill the engine with the turbo engine leaned out.

I mentioned that in an earlier response....first thing I thought of as I have been stupid enough myself to realize why things were running rough in the descent. The thing is, if your engine starts to run rough you generally go straight to the mixture and power, but if he was low and could not...

Is that airplane fuel injected? (I assume). The switch of tanks is the obvious one... keeping the mixture leaned, then panicking and not being able to restart? Seems like a long shot...

I mean I know it is polarizing amongst pilots, but it is tough to argue in certain cases that CAPS saves peoples lives no doubt. I am sure if my engine went out, I would be happy to have a chute as a backup.

Right, I always hope when I fly that all adults on board have considered the risk, and I will speak honestly of the risk to them... although they may not truly understand in some cases. Kids have no idea, and no choice. (I am not saying this is the case) but if it turns out in any crash that...

2 Adults, 3 small children. Damn, Damn, Damn. RIP. Hate this stuff.
