    Rough River dos mil veinticinco (that’s 2025 en Español) 2I3 - 4/25 - 4/27

    We had a great time this year... it's a "priority item" on my calendar for 2025!

    If a plane were weightless...

    While the cross-section of a Fig Newton does have some camber, the trailing edge isn't sharp enough for us to apply the Kutta Condition. Without the resulting circulation, the Joukowski formula would predict no lift and as a result, I have to side with the Bernoulli Brothers on the matter...

    If a plane were weightless...

    Thanks, Dana... that definitely needed to be said!

    If a plane were weightless...

    I agree that being weightless and being massless are different things... I also remember that there's an additional inertia associated with lighter-than-air craft that results from the mass/momentum of the air moving around the craft. There are also changes in buoyancy as the gas...

    Favorite destination directories

    I just spent some time with FlightsForBites.com and everything in my vicinity/experience seems to check out OK (I even added one of my favorite places). Thanks, Mahneuvers!

    Flying to Indianapolis International Today from Chicago

    I just looked up Dawson's on Google and it looks perfect. The weather is beautiful this afternoon so I wish I had time to join you. Jill and I flew up to EYE and had lunch at Rick's Cafe earlier this year so maybe next time we can try Dawson's. Have fun!

    I Hate Enterprise

    I'm a loyal Enterprise customer and the vast majority of my experiences with them have been positive. The people are helpful and friendly and I feel like I've had more than my share of free upgrades. I will also say that my best experiences have been with the rental counters at major airports...

    Was she hot? I mean it's Alabama... right?

    Parking at Midway (KMDW)

    I was telling someone at the Rough River fly-in a few weeks ago about how surprisingly affordable it was to park a small single piston plane at KMDW. I went up there again this past weekend (in a C172XP) and have to report that Atlantic has raised their overnight tie-down fees. Looking at my...

    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    Yeah... I like to think that I'm using Nord to lie on my behalf. BTW, my transponder must have just worked its way loose with the engine vibrations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability

    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    I'm at a Panera in Lexington, KY and my IP address says I'm in Charlotte, NC because I routinely use a VPN when I'm out using WiFi in a public place.

    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    Okay, my wife and I were among the "new kids" at RR this past weekend. I've wanted to attend one of these fly-ins for a while and this year things lined up and we were able to make it. Showing up someplace where there's an "established group" is uncomfortable for anyone... that's completely...

    Rough River '24! (2I3, 4/26/24 - 4/28/24

    I've been to 2I3 a few times but this will be my first fly-in with this esteemed group. I made plans a couple of years ago but had to bail out because of something else (?) that came up. The only real expectations I have were formed by a 310 Pilot video I watched on YouTube some years ago!

    Major cellular outage

    I'm sorry everyone it's probably my fault... I flew yesterday and forgot to put my phone into "airplane mode".

    I Got to Fly an Adam A500 today.

    Just noticed that the plane I saw is *not* the same as the OP flew! I was certain the N-numbers matched, but now I see that they differ by 1 ... guess I'm just not good with numbers!

    I Got to Fly an Adam A500 today.

    Very cool-looking plane and it's absolutely awesome that you got to fly it! Thanks for sharing the pictures as I was curious about what the interior and avionics looked like. I took this picture of it when it was sitting on the West Ramp of KLEX back in May... and it definitely got a lot of...

    Rough River '24! (2I3, 4/26/24 - 4/28/24

    Just made reservations in the lodge for my wife and myself... I told her it will be a nice quiet weekend by a lake. Looking forward to meeting y'all.

    Midwest POA Breakfast Meetup Thread

    At first glance, I missed the "L" in the word "flight" ... and there are a couple of ways to interpret that.
