    Cesna 172 down northern MN. Two survive

    Just saw the news on this. Not much details available. Flightaware.com shows it as an IFR flight. His track looks somewhat wobbly to me so not sure if he was tired that late or his instrument flying was lacking. Will be interested to know what ntsb finds out.

    C150 or C152

    No the AD is complied with. But they did a **** poor job of assessing things during the annual. No issues on the left side but on that flight I found the right side not locking properly. It should have absolutely been discovered during the annual. Its all fixed now for sure.

Ended up having a talk and agreed to move on. What is done us done. The prop...

    Headset Evaluation

    Get the best you can afford. I dont mind spending money on my wife and kids but when it comes to myself I am cheap and stingy. I have this rich friend who always has to buy the latest and newest gadget. He has the A20 bose headset that he bought in 2023. I said I'll wait till he gets tired...
