It will be interesting to read the NTSB report on the Cherokee 6 that just crashed at the Pomona Speedway while attempting to land at Brackett. Based on all the absorbent material spread around the crash site, there was probably plenty of fuel, but not in the selected tank. 4 tanks on that...

We just had a club aircraft ground loop and totaled on the insurance claim. The insurance company researched for liens and found one from the 1970s that was not properly "released". No release of lien filed with the FAA. The aircraft had been in the club 50yrs. The insurance company very quickly...

Connecting Rod bushing shipped between 2009-2017 are the issue. Status is to check oil and filter at a regular basis and no action required unless...

What Midlifeflyer said. The airplane, although left to you, presumably through a will, cannot transfer ownership until the Probate Court, 1) approves you or someone as Executor or Representative and 2) approves the distribution per the will. Once you are assigned by a letter from Probate Court...

I completed my ME w/Instrument privileges at about 10hrs dual. Seneca II, 6 seats. The Insurance company wanted to see 25hrs in type before I could fill the seats.

KRAP is south of the interstate, KRCA is north of the interstate. Its hard to see the interstate, its down in the ditch separating the two airports.
