    Houston: Robinson R44 helo down

    I believe you're thinking of the older-style red lights -- flashing red at the top (AOL) and solid red side lights. This tower used strobes, which are on the same circuit. I'm a (mostly-retired now) broadcast engineer, and we shifted a bunch of towers to strobes to avoid the expense of painting...

    **** Cancer

    Good advice. @Sluggo63, condolences and prayers from the heart. In 2022, I lost my mother in late April and my wife on July 1st. My mother had been sick and we were warned that she was declining rapidly. My wife, on the other hand, woke up about 8AM on 07-01-22, started hollering for help and...

    Campbell's Field, Blount County, AL

    Only a few miles from my home. Like most locals I've eaten at the restaurant across from the field. It's closed now, killed by COVID. The sat picture from a few years ago shows several planes. I went by yesterday and the field obviously needs mowing. One plane on the grass, one inside the shed...

    Klein Vision AirCar

    https://www.flyingmag.com/slovakian-flying-car-gains-airworthiness-certification/ In Slovakia, at least. Supposedly EASA will accept(?) As @Tantalum pointed out in last year's Terrafusion thread, it'd be nice if they'd post detailed specs. And a price.

    Rental car woes

    Yep. Back in October, I flew Delta into OAJ (Jacksonville, NC). Most of the rental Websites said there were no cars, but Budget said, "yep." I even got a confirmation email. When I arrived, a guy at the airport Budget desk called and said, "sorry, we gots no cars." He said that he'd been trying...

    Pipistrel Velis Electro

    I agree. Other chemists on this forum have discussed this. You're basically pulling energy from chemical reactions, and there is a real upper limit to how much you can pull from a given chemical combination. You'd have to go to other technologies -- nuclear, or something completely different (or...
