    Colorado Rockies Hitting Coach In Pilot Seat

    The lapse in judgement was by the pilots, not the coach. They will, and should, be disciplined. They might lose their jobs. The two players you mentioned were victims of their lack of training and the desire to demonstrate to others their prowess at the controls. Those circumstances and the...

    Final out on N928JP

    The pilot had flown into BYI many times, and undoubtedly was aware the agglomeration stack was there. Why she hit an object which she had successfully avoided thirteen times in the previous twelve months (and completed the approach and a fly past literally minutes prior to the crash) will never...

    $150000 of Avionics Stolen.

    A crackhead or similar type of thief would attack the panel with a hammer. Those radios were removed from the stack by methods which revealed the person had knowledge of avionics. He also knew the school had multiple IFR capable aircraft, what avionics were in the aircraft, that the airport was...

    Small plane lands on Long Island’s Southern State Parkway

    I'm gonna take a leap of logic and conclude the CFI is being, uh, less than truthful.

    Commander N965BC Crashes in Icing Conditions 13 Apr 2024 in San Bernadino Mountains

    The weather was accurately forecast, and based on that forecast, the pilot absolutely should have been expecting what was encountered at that altitude. I don't believe he recognized the conditions at all. The heavy moisture collision with temperatures well below freezing, exacerbated by the...

    PA32 N9236J Down near Claxton TN. Inflight breakup suspected.

    Sometimes the very characteristics which mark a successful businessman are antithetical to aviation risk assessment. RIP

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?

    I am hopeful he can engage the mechanic that performed the upgrades mentioned above. That person would know the aircraft and be a valuable resource.

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?

    It's obvious the OP knows what is involved in selling the aircraft. He's asking about mechanical issues. Jeezus.

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?

    The OP has stated the registration is current. The sales paperwork is neither onerous or complex.

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?

    The paperwork isn't a big deal. If it's registered, titled and the executor signs the bill of sale it's done.

    Is Dan Gryder the biggest asset to aviation on youtube?

    On another forum I frequent, there are two members that vigorously assert the moon landings were fake. Much of their obsession is with communications and video. The thread is something like 30 pages, and those that rebut the nonsense are continually entertained. As one might suspect, the posts...
