    Upper Midwest airfields near good hiking trails

    North Fox Island has some trails and great scenery.

    Northern lights and flying

    Satellites are vulnerable because they are not shielded by the atmosphere. The grid is vulnerable because electrical wires sort of act as antennas, gathering energy along their entire path and focusing it on wherever they terminate. Your plane will be fine. But in a worst case, GPS might be...

    I think food should taste bad

    I have some new videos coming out soon. Until then, the playlist is below. :lol:

    Ugh! What are you doing to that floor!

    Empty cargo planes roam the skies

    I guess the thing I learned in this thread is that this is yet another example of there being no single answer for everyone. It's like internet at my old place in Mexico. The options were Telmex, Mega Cable, TotalPlay and Starlink, and the best one varied neighborhood by neighborhood, sometimes...

    Empty cargo planes roam the skies

    Fedex seems to be monitoring this thread. About 25 minutes after my complaint above they showed up with the package they were unable to deliver properly yesterday.

    Empty cargo planes roam the skies

    I'm gonna defend them. In my area USPS is a little better than UPS and both are dramatically better than fedex. Fedex consistently fails to find our house (e.g. yesterday) or delivers to the wrong house (e.g. two weeks ago). USPS is wired into some sort of notifications system so my Alexa pings...

    Simple camping meal

    Dutch oven sweet rolls? I'm definitely doing that someday! Did you see this one?

    Simple camping meal

    Coco is the dog that looks like a cow. Chamoy is the brindle coated one. Chamoy doesn't mind his RexSpecs at all. He's wired pretty tight and isn't adapting to the plane too quickly, but the RexSpecs aren't part of the problem. Just the movement throws him off and he seems to get a little...

    WTF, over? (Video of a bad landing and go around)

    I wonder if he was flying by perceived speed, instead of using the airspeed indicator.

    Simple camping meal

    Figured out some tricks to making a hot tasty breakfast, even on a cold windy morning.

    6Y9 2024 Fly in/camp out

    Yeah, I was thinking overnight temps. Cause that's when you'll be in the tent. But, yeah, it was warm last year.

    You did this to yourself...

    6Y9 2024 Fly in/camp out

    For this event, there is sometimes frost overnight. Typically temps are 40s to 60s. Summertime heat is not likely to be the problem.

    Starlink - Does it work in airplanes?

    Can't use it in your plane, unless you have a very slow plane. But I live out of a tent about a month a year and that's only possible because starlink allows me to telecommute from anywhere. It's been game changing for me.

    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    Anytime I see an event here, facebook, email or wherever that there is the remotest chance I'll be interested in attending, it immediately goes on my calendar. Then I, at least, have a chance of knowing something is happening as I plan my weekends.

    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    I've been to a couple. I'm thinking that some of the observation of "cliquish" behavior might stem from the fact that the community has been around a while and it's natural for relationships to form around shared history, both here on the forum and various real life adventures. Both the events I...

    Home insurance sticker shock

    Another recommendation to shop around. Doing so got my cost reduced by about 25% and my coverage nearly doubled.
