    Lancair pilot takes shot at 58 year old record

    I watched the video with Martin from Beech Talk. The HF antenna that delayed his departure includes a 50 ft long wire trailing behind the plane. I suppose that it drags on the ground until airborne. Fascinating.

    Airplane down at Addison (KADS)

    After seeing the videos, I guess my question as a rank novice aviator is: At what point does the flight become theoretically irrecoverable? Even in the severe side slip, is it possible a guy can mash the rudder and get back to flying even with a prop windmilling?

    Need to scatter some ashes in the Portland area...

    We did this activity by boat for my fathers ashes. It went well, we went out in the morning as a family, said some prayers, dropped the ashes, then mixed up some mimosas on the trip back. Very nice activity. Not sure how this translates to an aircraft.

    PHI filed bankruptcy

    A lot of these offshore service companies in the GOM are in the same boat so to speak. I have a small pension with one of the crew boat companies that went through bankruptcy a couple years ago. My pension is still intact but all the shareholders equity gets blown up. Ironically back in the...

    Running tanks dry in cruise

    My dad did this in a Turbo Arrow III heading west into Cortez, CO over the mountains. He was unconcerned, but I was concerned when the engine stumbled a couple beats. But that was it.

    Apollo 11

    First Man was interesting. I wonder how much of the moon sequence really happened - did Armstrong leave some memento of his daughter on the moon?

    Apollo 11

    This is my thought also. I don’t see any way we can go to Mars within my lifetime. First of all, there’s no strategic driver (like the Cold War) to go. NASA to me these days is just another aimless government program.

    Apollo 11

    My wife and I saw the movie last night. It was outstanding. It led me to think about could we do the same thing nowadays in the current risk averse culture we live in. Would we have the fortitude to go forward in the same period of time they did in the ‘60’s?
