I saw a bumper sticker on a car today (wish I could have grabbed a photo) that that read: THE HIGHER THE ALTITUDE THE BETTER THE ATTITUDE But it kind of made me stop and think- "The higher the altitude, the better the attitude, and the worse the decision making".

Maybe the 180 at NANCI ?

I didn't get outside to watch today, but came across this youtube video that was pretty nice (and included cockpit audio): Interesting there were 7 flying today- never seen that- anyone know why? Also interesting at around 7:18 looks like some poor guy busted the TFR....

Ohm my gosh!

For the sake of everyone in the cabin is it really worth turning the plane into a 421BM ?

I was IFR (in VMC) once on a westerly heading at 6000 ft. When two Yaks in a side-by-side formation appeared in my windscreen in the exact opposite direction, at the exact same altitude. I continued on my heading and they passed me- one on my left and the other on my right- bot easily within 200...

I noticed the date before reading and got half way through before thinking it HAD to be this ^^ .. It's definitely an sad story otherwise.

I was on the Pro subscription at $150/yr for 14-15 years and just this year they forced me onto the Pro Plus plan for $240/yr if I wanted yo keep georeferenced plates. Is there still a $150 Pro one?

That was one my kid's cookies- I kind of though the same thing! When I asked she said it was a 'gingerbread cookie'. They all tasted like sugar cookies to me...

It even has de icing !!

As schmookeeg mentioned the FAA official format is: - One to five digits (N12345) - One to four digits followed by one letter (N1234Z) - One to three digits followed by two letters (N123AZ) Cannot have zero as first digit Cannot have letters I or O So I think it would be: 99999 + (9999 * 24)...

Agreed- it is only a mater of time before the Fed requires us all (GA) to use unleaded fuel. ;)

The next time I take my daughter to fleet-week and she get's to meet some of the pilots as we did one year she may get to meet this one:fcross:

I remember sitting in the third row seat in my dads 182 when I was young- now THAT was a garbage seat;)

Maybe it wouldn't kill me to commute across the bay at max 10 ft? Any higher, or over solid ground seems like terrible accident waiting to happen.
