Cool. You may have met/seen my sister Shirley. Smaller blonde lady, probably greeting people and helping with sales. She was with the tour until yesterday. On this tour she was crewing on Maid in the Shade, but she's crewed on Sentimental Journey many times.

Your story is very similar to mine, a number of years ago. Both financially and romantically. I also had a ton of hobbies and the money to enjoy them. I was also constantly lonely. I was never a sociable person and quite awkward with women. Finally, in my late 40s I found the love of my life...

Sounds like I misunderstood something.....

Listen again. Check the compass heading. She takes off on about a 035 heading and is told to turn LEFT to 105. WF you talkin about?

The controller told her to turn LEFT to 105 and she thought it was odd (which it was l) so she verified 4 times. A left hand turn would have made a complete circle over the airport instead of a 70 degree turn to the right. Four times the controller verified turn LEFT. It was only when she...

1. Your assumption that the Federal government's organizations are somehow one homogenized unit with consistency across the board. They are not. The fact that the Farm Bill exists has no bearing on the FAA's standards. Nor does CDC interpretation's or views have anything to do with the FAA. 2...

Funniest comment I've heard in a long time! Thx for the laugh.

I've been flying for 30 years. I've flown my homebuilt 601XLB from California to the east coast and back. I'm not the most experienced pilot, but I have been doing it a while. I have had the living crap scared out of me more than once in turbulence, including a nightmare in the mountain valley...

I'll cast a vote on the negative side for your consideration. 1. There are so few AirBnbs at airports that pilots don't even look for them. I know this because I had an AirBnb at our gated community airport, though it was not on the runway. In nine years I think we only got one or two...

I don't mean this to be snarky or condescending - but wondering what your RPM was on the roll? Did you not verify you had takeoff power before lifting off? If so, was it 300 RPM below normal? Just wondering how you found this out in the air and not on the runway?

Stay on the magenta line.

Geez, by some of the replies on here you'd think the kid was on heroine... and they seem to think it's on the same level. Clearly some people have led some kind of perfect life and feel the need to lord it over others. Or at least profess that they have... me thinks those ones have even darker...

So, you're getting snarky comments, I believe, for of two reasons. First, is the implication by your statement that you are experiencing cognitive decline at the age of 49. I have two thoughts on this. One is that this is a mis-type and you meant to say 69 or 79, or 89. If this is not a...

Looking to replace my 740B and they are no longer made. Wondering if someone has one they've stopped using and would like to part with? You can email me at gaw.ebm@gmail.com

You are right. Gusty unstable air is not fun to fly in. Learning to fly and land in gusty wind conditions takes time. I spent an agonizing 3 days at isolated Mojave Airport with my wife when the winds were blowing more than I was comfortable. The worst part was there were pilots in less...

The key element in building a homebuilt is having support from other builders working on the same aircraft. You end up having hundreds and hundreds of questions. You can't turn to the manufacturer for every little question. You can design the best homebuilt in the world but without a builder...

I'm catching a commercial flight out of FAT in a month and am going to fly my plane there and park it for three days. Recommendations on which FBO to use?

FYI - I meant "nerd" in the sense that the group over there is very precise and critical. That's where i go when I want to get detailed and precise information. There are a lot of really knowledgeable, experienced builders that make an effort to get the actual facts of all things builder...

The nerds on Vans Air Force did some research on weight of paint. The consensus for one of their aircraft was in the range of 20 to 25 lbs. On a light sport plane, such as my Zenith, that is a lot of weight. Since I had a heavy engine, I decided to polish my plane (with a partial vinyl wrap)...

Most of the common kit planes have mountains of data on weights based on various engine choices. Experimental aircraft (other than LSAs) can be "certified" at any weight the builder chooses, assuming proper weight and balance calculations. I think you need to do some more research. Your...
