    Beech V35 Midair Breakup

    Gryder shouldn’t be allowed around anything sharper than a Twinkie without adult supervision.

    Road Bump in Buying a Plane - No Place to Put It

    I would start cold-calling/paying a visit to any hangar landlords in the area. When I was looking, the airport I wanted had both privately owned and city owned hangars. Wait lists were 4-6 years for anything. Emails didn’t even get a response, not even a “ok, you’re on the list.” Out of...

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    I absolutely do, I worded that poorly. I was referring to her career ambitions, as the OP seemed to indicate that her working/starting a legitimate career was important to him. If they jointly reach the decision that he’s the breadwinner and she’s a stay at home mom, that’s different and...

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    Run. Plenty of potential partners out there. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t have pursued any serious relationship until I was 40ish. I don’t just say that because my first marriage ended. I say it because in the wake of it, I did a lot of reflection and realized how many dreams I...

    Restoration cost - rough idea?

    You might rethink the engine part (if I understood you to mean you’d shy away from an airplane needing an engine). There’s pluses and minuses to everything as usual, but I’d strongly consider buying an airplane with great paint, interior, and especially avionics, but with a runout engine. The...

    Bakin' Bacon

    I’ve never timed it (I just go by color/crispness), but I’m guessing around 20-30 minutes typically.

    Bakin' Bacon

    I almost always bake bacon now. I use a large baking tray and the wide foil. The foil creates a seamless barrier so when I’m done, I can either dispose of the drippings (or save them as I sometimes do for other recipes), then junk the foil and not even have to wash the tray. I’ve found the key...

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    Valid point. I mainly used the portion you quoted as a counterpoint to consider. I tend to believe the guy was schnockered.

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    I’ve ridden/raced motocross for 32 years. Any successful motocrosser I know operates anything but recklessly. It may appear reckless to the uninitiated but it is calculated and although I push my limits, I don’t disregard them. The ones who are reckless are typically short-lived, and/or the...
