    My 1st time going into class C at night, any advice?

    Try listening in on LiveATC and follow along with one of the flight trackers like ADSB Exchange or Flight Aware to get an idea of what the comms and flow of traffic are like. https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=kpvd

    Ship hit the span

    That was interesting. He’s like a maritime Juan Brown.

    Diamond aspires to be Boeing.

    Pressurized or not, my bowels would probably have decompressed a little. Severity of the issue would be proportional to the ratio of solids to gaseous matter of said decompression.

    Walmart drones are here.

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

    I had a buddy that went through good natured lieutenant hazing. Got sent down to maintenance to pick up the keys to a jet, can’t remember if they told him to request a Form ID-10T to get them or not. Other good ones: make them go get a bucket of prop wash or 40 feet of flight line.

    Smoke hood?

    Seems like one of those better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it type things.

    This is why it's important to check NOTAMs

    It may be legit: https://airshows.aero/Page/AirBossReport?Index=D

    Taxiing past a taxiing drone

    Yeah, waiting for them could be frustrating. Even more fun could result when they’d go lost link and RTB themselves direct through whatever ROZ happened to be between them and home. I never had the pleasure, but squadron mates had stories them fly though their orbit unannounced at co-altitude...

    Taxiing past a taxiing drone

    My understanding is there are takeoff and landing qualified pilots at the field with line of site that take care of departures and arrivals. Sometime after departure they hand off control to the crews at Creech, or wherever else the ops are controlled out of. I believe there was enough latency...

    Plane crash on FL freeway

    Does anyone know if the flight controls on the 604 are hydraulically boosted? If so does it have a RAT to provide pressure in an event like this?

    [NA] Who's enjoying this "arctic blast"?

    One of my coworker’s favorite sayings this time of year:

    Richard McSpadden Crash

    I don’t typically watch Dan Gryder’s videos but the one I watched yesterday he went to the site. After seeing the scene I don’t think a lack of shoulder harnesses would have made a difference, if they indeed didn’t have them. It looks like they were 15-20 feet below where the slope leveled...

    Happy Columbus Day

    I think it should be Indegumbus Day since Columbus wasn’t here first.

    Richard McSpadden Crash

    All other things being equal, that would be my vote too. If you decided to bail out of a turn back attempt I’d rather be turned toward the wind as much as possible to reduce ground speed.

    Redundant "traffic" and other annoyances . . .

    Visual would be more appropriate than Tally. At least per the last time I’d looked at the brevity book a while back (6+ years ago).
