I took my physical yesterday and had a slightly higher BP than normal. I had to wear a mask the whole time I was in the building. I asked the Doc if he knew if wearing a mask for the hour before we got to taking my BP might have an affect. He looked at his intern and said there's a study for...

I sold my 150hp Cardinal when I moved and now I have farther to go to the places I like. I would like something to carry two and our bags and do more than the 105 knots I saw in the Cardinal. Since it is not a necessity (debatable) I would like to keep it to the $50Kk I have on hand.

ITEC stopped building the Maverick due to discovery that the parachute design is wrong for the vehicle. Has anybody heard of a buyer for the design or if there are any of the current vehicles available?

I remember back as the year 2000 was approaching there was a big argument about when the new decade started. Some said a decade goes from 1 to 10 and others said from 0-9. I think the 0-9 crowd won out that time but now it seems there is a push to call 2021 the start of a new decade. This...

How did POA vote?

I found a buyer for my plane and he would like me to fly the plane to his mechanic an hour away and he would drive me back while his mechanic does an inspection. On the one hand, I don't like to leave my plane and not know what is going on with it. FOr instance, when it was in annual I...

Does anyone on the board own one of has flown one? Seems like a fun thing to tool around in and to fly. https://www.mavericklsa.com/about.html

Well, that time has come. We are moving and the closest airport isn't that close to where we will be. I fly occasionally now and any less would be neglect. The airport doesn't have hangar space but does have rentals. I guess that's my life when I move. I put a free ad on Barnstormers and got...

I fly once a week to keep the engine happy and my skills up even though I really have no place to go. Last week I did all the preflight and took off to do my planned series of turns in the practice area. I returned and put the plane back in the hangar. This week I got to the hangar and there...

On today's flight it was light and variable and I was in some empty airspace. I decided to update my compass correction card by flying the 30's compass headings using my GPS and then letting the compass settle on a number and writing it down. I now have a new compass correction card. Just a...

My airport (KHSV) sent out their newsletter and said passengers can bring up to 12 oz of hand sanitizer through TSA. If you don't have some, they will give you a 3 oz bottle. Now if they can get more than 10 passenger flight a day the TSA would be busy.

I saw this at Sportsman's Guide and thought it might make a good tie down kit. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/east-german-military-surplus-stakes-with-carry-bag-new?a=2164977

I talked to my Pastor the other day and he said he was planning to have Easter sunrise service in the parking lot with everyone in their cars. He planned to use loud speakers. I met a guy last winter who had lights and music at his house for Christmas. We are going to set up his short range FM...

Over the last couple of days, I put in about 140 feet of fence. The old fence took a beating last winter and my neighbor and I agreed the new fence needed to be closer to the property line. Then my wife decided the side fence needed to match the back fence and the gate needed to be replaced...

It is a CAVU day and reminds me of the days after 9/11 when the only things in the sky above FDK where I learned to fly were the contrails from the F-16s flying over P-40. While walking the dog this morning, I made plans to go fly. By the time I got home I was thinking what would I tell the...

Finally got in the air after all the bad weather. I made a point to thank the controller for the weather. I told him since I get all my weather from the FAA I figured they must be the folks that make it. He said he was happy to do it. I flew to KMSL Muscle Shoals and got self serve fuel for...

I talked to the little Mexican place we frequent (which coincidentally is called La Placita) about reopening. Here is the plan: 1. All employees wear masks for their safety 2. All patrons get a non-contact temperature check and are refused entry if they have a fever 3. The menu is posted out...

My call to GROUND was "Nxxxx at Old T's ready to taxi with alpha request Echo 4 departure" His reply was "Taxi to 18L via Juliet" I came back with "Nxxx requests echo 4 departure" He then said "Echo 4 departure was approved" in a condescending voice. In the past when I was given a "taxi to...

Things that will get better as a result of COVID-19... People will take better care of themselves and wash their hands more thus avoiding regular flu People will drive less due to telecommuting which will lessen highway deaths Telecommuting of all kinds will increase; which will have a net...

We are contemplating a move to Martinsburg WV to be closer to the grand-kids. Someone please tell me about the availability of hangar space and the general state of GA in the area. Thanks
