    BOEING 767F crash near Houston in the bay Atlas cargo

    Given the distances and altitudes, would that be near the point where flaps and gear would be called for?

    Until the neighbor kid hacks it and plays "La Cucaracha" on the lights, lol.

    Household wiring question

    You need the in and the out at the garage switch, normally three wire from switch to switch, then two wire on to the lights. Hope the holes are bored big enough. If you can install a short length of two wire from the attic to the garage switch, throw in a largish box in the attic. Use the black...

    Texas air crash

    Whatever happened was fast enough they didn't get a radio call out. ATC just lost them and couldn't get a response.

    Household wiring question

    Wait a minute, are you trying to combine the green and yellow circuits so your outside lights other than motion controlled all go on and off together, with a single switch in the garage and one in the house, both 3 ways? That would be easy because you can use the neutral from one feed and get...

    Hold short, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold ...

    Spent five minutes holding for traffic once, followed by about seven minutes waiting for a Super Cub to eventually find the numbers. I could have done a lap in the pattern for a touch and go, but the tower said hold, lol.

    Unique Flying Organization

    And yet now and then, an extra soul joins the flight... babies run on their own schedule :) Birth and death are both a part of life, and if some people are to be believed, death is just a rebirth. I hope they're right, not so much for myself, but for those I have loved that have made that trip...

    No love today from SWA

    Back when we walked back and forth to school ten miles in a foot of snow, uphill both ways, we just measured the landing gear struts to check our takeoff weight.

    Household wiring question

    Typically the wiring between the three way switches requires three conductors and the ground, a neutral that goes on through, and two other wires, one or the other of which will be hot depending on the first switch's position.

    Instructor seems scared to sign me off for solo

    Just a side note, if there was any way I could pay for instruction and plane rental by stripping, I'd be naked all the time. In my case folks would probably throw money at me begging me to put some clothes on. You're the customer, if you don't feel you're getting good service, at least get a...

    Aircraft insurance is not logical.

    It's all about population versus payouts, all insurance is that way to a degree. Of course when I moved into town to be closer to work, my insurance went up because town is much more dangerous than a rural area. And then when I moved ten miles out of town, my insurance went up again because I...

    To people like this, significant others and often the kids as well are just possessions, use them until bored and then dispose. Sociopaths and psychopaths can be quite charming and disarming. Think Jim Jones.

    [NA]Online death threats; Twitter[NA]

    Take the young lady to the local range, get her comfortable and trained in the art of armed self defense, make sure she has a small reliable self defense tool and carries it religiously. This advice is not just for those actually receiving threats, but all women of all ages. Impress upon her...
