Spruce only bought distribution. WagAero retains the manufacturing.

That's really strange. Took 10 minutes last week when I had problems.

As a former Boeing employee & former contractor at both LockMart & ULA - ULA is a joint venture but only at the upper mgt is there overlap. Wearing a ULA badge? Lots of places at LockMart & Boeing where you are not welcomed with open arms, and vice-versa. Legacy Boeing was never a rocket player...

On the airport website "We also encourage tent camping in the grass near the pilot shelter. "

There used to be a french bakery that made the best croissants. Never could figure out how, with the altitude. Hope it's still there. Colorado Pilots Assoc did a flyin there a number of years ago.

USAFA (Air Force Academy) use Tiger for zoomies that have solo'd. It's both a radio id and transponder, e.g. TG47 is flying around KPUB right now.

What's interesting is all these AI music apps have copyright disclaimers/ownership proudly displayed on the front page. Everything generated is theirs - but if you're willing to pay, they'll transfer the copyrights to you.

Aiva, Soundraw, Soundful, it goes on and on. My freshman computer science class just finished "create a music video" using any of the music AI apps and any of the video AI apps (e.g. NightCafe) and present to the class. Then teams of 2 for Debate Camp - one pro, one against what they just saw...

Climb will be slow, so having company to chat with keeps you from being bored.

Is there a state pilots organization, such as Colorado Pilots Assoc or New Mexico Pilots Assoc? Out here, bothnrun the mountain flying courses, advocate at the state house, flyins, career days at schools, etc. Right now Colorado Pilots Assoc is leading the charge (with 99s, WAI, the Colorado...

There are 2 possible failures - the first, GPS system fail means it doesn't matter is you have another GPS unit (certified or tablet), nothing will work. The second is a failure of the unit itself, which is possible but very rare. I'd go with a garmin 175 as the backup, and the 650 as the...

Barron Thomas Originally published in 2016, Plane & Pilot repub on this weeks' website. They must really be hurting for articles. https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/article/partnership-aircraft/?oly_enc_id=5790C8328467G9Y
