    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    Not fake news. The sheriff would rather assist now, then later rescue... Perhaps we agree to disagree. Plenty of posts here where others have called the police/sheriff for access, assistance and help, including one of your own (FAT). They should have at least tried.

    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    Again, all they had to do was call the sheriff to come "rescue" them. Sheriff's deputies would have taken them into town and help them find accommodations. If rooms were available at the last minute, I'm sure they wouldn't have to pay for a two-night minimum. If rooms were not available, they...

    Ordered new Tecnam P2010

    I occasionally get to SEE, but only a couple times a year. Maybe I can sneak down there this Friday. PM me your contact info. The CA dealer is in Chino and I bet would come to you. The current seller of 831P sold me my plane... This plane has electric adjustable seats (up/down) and huge leg...

    Ordered new Tecnam P2010

    I'm very happy with my P2010 with the IO-390 215 hp engine and a friend of mine with the TDI is equally as happy. The P2010 is basically a 172+, not quite a 182. But less expensive than both. Stay away from the IO-360 engine model... The 390 and TDI will fulfill your missions but the TDI has a...

    KAVX - Catalina Island, twin-engine Beechcraft crash 5 dead

    So many people made such a bad decision... The road to Abilene, I guess. If they were stuck at the airport all they had to do was call the Sheriff's Department to come get them and take them into town (rescue). Plenty of places to stay in town, assuming there were vacancies. I'm sure they...

    Cirrus down at PVU 9/27 16:00Z

    In listening to Tower radio traffic, it sounds like the controller was working both ground and Tower. Additionally, his speech was not real clear. He mumbled a lot. I can't help but think these contributed to the accident, as it definitely caused additional radio calls from multiple airplanes...

    Plane loaded with drugs makes emergency landing on Southern California highway

    This discussion got me thinking, how do the police impound airplanes? Vehicles, obviously get towed to an impound yard. But in this case, how do they impound an airplane? Where does it go? I'm assuming they seized it under Narco Forfeiture laws...
